\"Chopper1\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

En feuilletant mes deux tomes de \u00abArt of the chopper<\/a>\u00bb de Tom Zimberoff<\/a> l\u2019autre jour, l\u2019\u00e9vidence s\u2019est rapidement impos\u00e9e d\u2019elle-m\u00eame, que nous avons ici, r\u00e9unis sur 300 pages de papiers glac\u00e9s, l\u2019apog\u00e9e du style chopper, le haut de la vague en terme de style et d\u2019extravagance, et qu\u2019\u00e0 partir de l\u00e0, seul le d\u00e9clin est possible.
Mais ces derniers feux brillent de tout l\u2019\u00e9clat que la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine sait mettre dans ses entreprises les plus spectaculaires.<\/p>\n

Arbitrairement et le plus subjectivement possible, j\u2019ai choisi 3 artistes, artistes, car leurs r\u00e9alisations d\u00e9passent le simple g\u00e9nie m\u00e9canique, artistes qui, chacun dans sa niche, nous offre la quintessence et l\u2019aboutissement de leur style. Voici donc le futuriste, le minimaliste et le tenant de la vieille \u00e9cole.<\/p>\n

\"Chopper2\"<\/a>
Le futuriste
Mike Brown de Amen motorcycle a deux religions, Dieu et les armes de poings. Et bien que cette combinaison me semble des plus inqui\u00e9tantes, force est d\u2019admettre que l\u2019homme y puise une force cr\u00e9atrice remarquable.
Sa r\u00e9alisation la plus spectaculaire demeure \u00abHubba-Hubba\u00bb, un monstre aux roues orbitales, le premier chopper fonctionnel avec ce type de truc (bien que Billy Lane lui dispute le titre, mais la moto de Billy Lane n\u2019a que la roue arri\u00e8re sans moyeu). Pour conserver la puret\u00e9 de la ligne, Mike Brown est arriv\u00e9 avec un syst\u00e8me de propulsion ing\u00e9nieux, utilisant la friction d\u2019une plus petite roue, entra\u00een\u00e9e de mani\u00e8re classique, qui vient s\u2019appuyer sur l\u2019\u00e9norme pneu arri\u00e8re de 360mm.
La roue orbitale<\/a>, ou sans moyeu est la cr\u00e9ation de l\u2019Italien Franco Sbarro qui, en collaboration avec le Fran\u00e7ais Dominique Mottas, a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 ce concept.<\/p>\n

\"Chopper3\"<\/a>
Le minimaliste
Le Britannique Russell Mitchell<\/a>, un v\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire venu aux \u00c9tats-Unis comme mod\u00e8le et aspirant acteur s\u2019est plong\u00e9, entre deux contrats rares et espac\u00e9s, dans la personnalisation de motos. Reconnu en Angleterre pour ses Lambretta sous acides et st\u00e9ro\u00efdes, Mitchell s\u2019attaqua tout naturellement aux Harley-Davidson une fois en Am\u00e9rique.
D\u00e9veloppant un style unique et d\u00e9pouill\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019extr\u00eame ou la seule couleur permise est le noir, ou le chrome est gomm\u00e9 et les c\u00e2bles dissimul\u00e9s, les motos d\u2019Exile ont la puret\u00e9 d\u2019une esquisse, mais le raffinement d\u2019un tableau de ma\u00eetre. Son \u00abChopper\u00bb pourrait difficilement avoir \u00abmoins de pi\u00e8ces\u00bb et d\u2019ostentation, mais ce qu\u2019il perd en tape \u00e0 l\u2019\u0153il, il le gagne en pr\u00e9sence.<\/p>\n

\"Chopper4\"<\/a>
La vieille \u00e9cole
Indian Larry<\/a>, contrairement \u00e0 ce que son nom de plume ou de guerre laisse sugg\u00e9r\u00e9, n\u2019est pas un \u00abpeau rouge\u00bb, comme ils disaient dans les vieux westerns, mais plut\u00f4t de descendance belge. Son Indian, il le doit \u00e0 une passion soutenue pour la marque de  moto Indian, bien que son style s\u2019\u00e9loignera rapidement de ses premi\u00e8res passions vers une version \u00e9pur\u00e9e, mais enrichie de la moto.
Il remit \u00e0 la mode les poign\u00e9es hautes, l\u2019embrayage au pied et le petit r\u00e9servoir en forme de pois chiche. Pas de d\u00e9marreur \u00e9lectrique chez Indian Larry, ni de fourche s\u2019\u00e9tirant \u00e0 des angles d\u00e9fiant les lois de la physique. Son style est ramass\u00e9, mais d\u2019une pr\u00e9cision sans faille et o\u00f9 l\u2019ornementation sert le propos de la machine.
Larry Desmedt est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 des suites de blessures \u00e0 la t\u00eate, apr\u00e8s une chute alors qu\u2019il ex\u00e9cutait la cascade l\u2019ayant rendu c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, debout sur la selle de l\u2019une de ses motos, les bras en croix.<\/p>\n
