About Choppers Australia...

Choppers Australia is a place where  chopper builders and riders can meet, ride together and help each other... Choppers Australia exists especially to promote old school and classic choppers... but ALL styles are very welcome. 

Any year, make and style (old or modern) of chopper is welcome...  Doesn't matter if your motorcycle is a chopped AJS, BSA, Honda, BMW, Harley, Suzuki, Triumph, Yamaha,  or even a whozawatzit and it can be any size... 

We are family friendly club.  This website is proudly G rated.  We offer you the opportunity to meet, ride and share with other enthusiasts, builders and owners.

We positively promote old school and classic choppers, their style, values and craftsmanship.  We preserve and show traditional chopper literature, media and artefacts.

Choppers Australia... was founded by Andrew (Prof) in September 2005 to bring chopper builders and riders together in a spirit of camaraderie and mutual support and to  spread the word about the exciting re-emergence of a 60's -70's phenomenon... the old school and classic chopper...

Prof chopped his first bike in 1970 and rode his 1973 CB500  chopper until he chopped his father's '81shovel in 2002. 

Why we began... Prof, had been  "bumping into" chopper enthusiasts around SA for a couple of years and most felt like they were the only one "doing it".  Many who were wanting to build a classic or old school chopper, but could find little information and even less parts.  Prof's vision was to meet that need.  Choppers Australia was to be a service organization to chopper builders and riders... information, support and meeting together...

Response has been far beyond expectations.  Thanks to a great bunch of chopper enthusiasts across Australia and overseas,  Choppers Australia  aims are being more than achieved...

Choppers... Choppers Australia is focussed on choppers... and is about encouragement, information and being a vehicle for chopper enthusiasts to share their excitement and to ride with others of like mind...

Loosely organised... Choppers Australia is does not have an organising committee or organisational meetings... just a bunch of chopper enthusiasts getting together to ride and share info. Local groups organise their own runs and get togethers.  They send in their details to be put up on website.  We are Australia-wide and encourage and support regional groups to get together as of mates and families for fellowship and rides.

Choppers Australia is not about recruiting lots of members, cornering the chopper movement or having tight control of its members.  We are not a patch club, but we do respect all motorcyclists and all clubs whatever their choice of transport and choice of organization.

Family Welcome... We encourage the whole family to participate and all our activities and publications, including this website are proudly "G Rated".

Network of Mates... Support wherever you are...

Throughout Australia... Choppers Australia is based in South Australia.  Throughout Australia we currently have 100+ member riders of choppers of all sorts and ages.  SA and Qld are the largest with around 40 members each.  A number of other non members also join in on our activities.   Queensland members have also organised a numbers of runs and get togethers.  

Chopper Runs... In SA we have monthly chopper runs and bi-monthly shed nights.  these activities are not obligatory, simply there if you would like to join in...  

Choppers Australia runs are suggested and organised by members.  In SA we have a Run Coordinator and a Shed Night Coordinator who suggest events and the arrange them.  However Choppers Australia is all about blokes getting together and riding when ever the urge gets them, so members are encouraged to meet other members and organise their own activities.  If they wish, these will be advertised on our website.

The information, photos and discussion available through our activities, newsletter, website and forums are shrinking the distances between an enthusiastic and ever increasing band of chopper jocks across Australia.

Website Chopper chat forum... Want to find other like minded chopper enthusiasts?... Register on our website chat forum and tell everyone you're out there. 

Travelling interstate?... Why not drop in on other club members.  Register your interest and if some one is coming near you, we will assist you to offer them your hospitality.

Organised and individual rides... Aussie chopper riders are often very spread out because we are a big country with a small population. Therefore we attempt whenever possible to connect chopper riders in local areas and encourage them to organise their own rides and get togethers.  The website has a forum where you can organise your rides and a webpage where arrangements can be announced. You are welcome to use the forum to arrange your ride whether you are  a financial member of Choppers Australia or just a friend.

Choppers Australia members do get around, so new members where ever you are will be visited by some one at some time.

Discounts...  We have currently organised discounts from South Australian businesses to Choppers Australia club members on Batteries...  Chrome plating & polishing...  Panel work, fibre glassing & spray painting...  Old school style mods & custom handlebars...  and we expect to have some more as interested businesses are found.  See Services ..." page for some of these businesses.  Members can contact us for further details...
