The closest I got to realise this dream was back in 1971 when the chopper bike was the craze throughout the nation. It even had gears! The big padded seat was comfortable for your backside and you really thought you were one of the gang from Easy Rider on your Harley Davidson. #Quote by Stephen Richards

Idris Hopper: Yes, she is. #Quote by Russell T. Davies
