I used to think it would be cool to build a ratty long raked out chopper bike. So, I did it. Rode it around a bit. Let my friends enjoy it a when they came around. THEN while riding around with my kids at a BBQ. The fork snapped! I went down took a rock to the face which proceeded to tear me open down to mid chest and powderize my left collar bone. ER doc said he lost count at 48 fractures! I spent three night and four days in the hospital. So If you build a bike like this, do your homework first and make SURE your welds are strong.
