Bobbers Versus Choppers By Sugar Bear

DO YOU REALLY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BOBBER AND A CHOPPER? I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE SNOBS THAT THINKS EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERIOD CORRECT. I REALLY DIG THAT STUFF BUT I LOVE ALL STYLES (WITHIN REASON THAT IS),  MAKES, AND MODELS.  FUNNY THING IS THERE ARE AL0T OF "BUILDERS" OUT THERE THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE BUILDING. A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THE CHOPPER CRAZE STARTED (AND IS STILL GOING AND MOST DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT) THERE WERE ALOT OF FOLKS THAT WOULD CALL ANYTHING STRETCHED, RAKED, OR EVEN JUST A LONG FRONTEND,  A CHOPPER. MOST OF THESE ABOMINATIONS WEREN'T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING A "CHOPPER." THEY WERE NOT STRIPPED DOWN FOR GOING FAST AND STOPPING FAST. MOST OF THE TIME THEY HAD SO MUCH GARBAGE TACKED ON, THEY LOOKED LIKE A FLOAT FROM THE CHRISTMAS PARADE.  FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS AND NOW WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THOSE THROWING "BOBBER" AROUND AT ANYTHING WITH NO RAKE, SPORTY STYLE TANK, AND A SHORT REAR FENDER.  MOST ARE SO FAR FROM BEING A BOBBER IT'S RIDICULOUS. BUT AGAIN THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE'S IGNORANCE OF THOSE TWO TERMS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY PET PEEVES.....AND FOR THOSE THAT NEED A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON, THERE'S NO ONE BETTER TO EXPLAIN THAN SUGAR BEAR.........
