I have always wanted to build a mini-chopper and until recently I was always a little reserved at starting one because of my lack of knowledge in all aspects of motorcycles. I have never driven a motorcycle, in fact the closest thing would be my dads 49cc Honda Spree from back in the day. I dream of one day building my own full size bobber, but again, I don't want to spend money on something I can build or a project that turns into a money pit. I have always enjoyed building thinks, probably one of the reasons why I became a Tech Ed teacher in the first place, but my interest was always in the areas of automotive and woodworking.
Well know I finally started, I ordered a non-assembled frame kit from Westcoastminichoppers.com and started buying other parts here and there from other online stores and eBay. I wanted to make this difficult, hence the frame kit and not a pre-welded one, but not too difficult from myself and the few students who will help me from my Advanced Metals class at school. I don't really have a specific budget, but I really want to keep this resonable. I don't have a plan for when I am done with it, I don't plan on selling it, but then again I'm not at that point where I can yet. I'll see how everything going and I am really excitied to get the ball rolling.
