About us...
At this stage The
Chopper Shed staff consists of myself (Andrew) and a couple of
part time workers...
I am an ex art teacher
who was drawn mainly to sculpture and technical drawing. Bet
you never made hot rods and choppers out of clay, fired and then
painted them, when you did art... my students did!!!!
I built my first
chopper in 1969 and rode choppers which I built, from then until now
(though I was pretty preoccupied with family until more recently).
I currently ride a red 1981 Harley Shovel chopped in the classic
seventies style. As I rarely drive a car, my chopper is pretty
well known around Adelaide. My wife rides on the back... for
short or long distances, as long as the weather is not too cold!!!
I was a biker from
birth. I grew up in the sidecar. My parents rode their
bikes to work everyday and on long rides, with or without the
sidecar and dad always seemed to have at least 20 bikes in his shed.
In my teens I began building choppers to ride... Saturdays always
finding mates around to get bits made, try trick pipes and
handlebars etc... One of our sons is
preparing to chop a Harley Sportster and the other son rides the
CB500 Honda, which I chopped in 1974, although it's been modified
quite a bit since then. Our daughter rides her metric cruiser
to work.

Andrew just back from a 500 mile run... and ready to keep rolling!
