What ever happened to the old school Chopper Pipes? I remember back in the 60's my friend had a 3 hp Lil Indian. He put a chopper pipe on it that went down and back along the bottom of the frame. it sounded "cool".
I had a Ruttman with a chopper pipe that went down, along the bottom, then up along the frame to the seat height. I took an old chrome vacuum cleaner tube (remember those?) and stuck it in the pipe for some extra length. It came up behind my back. That really sounded "COOL". I haven't seen any of those in decades. What happened to all of them?
Here is the Only picture I have of my Ruttman, although you can't see much of it as I'm in the way, but you can see the vacuum cleaner tube sticking up in the air. This was taken in 1969 as I remember that Lincoln. My friend watching me is still a very great friend. He also has a minibike to this day. We ride together once in a while.
