DVD Review, Choppertown – The Sinners.
November 20th, 2005 10 Comments » | View blog reactions
When I was a kid we would always hang out at a mate’s garage, messing with mopeds and strapping lawnmower engines to anything from roller-skates to soapbox-cars. If you, like me, can recall that time with a happy smirk, this DVD is for you.
Choppertown – The Sinners, is a documentary on a bunch of lads who never stopped fiddling with gears and engines, but eventually moved on to cars and motorcycles. The documentary evolves around a “Sinner” named Kutty Noteboom, who builds an early sixties style chopper from ground up with the help of his fellow “Sinners”.
It’s not a Discovery, OCC, kind of TV circus where they build bikes only billionaires can afford and buys just to put on their mantelpiece. These guys treasure used parts like gold; they scrounge up and refurbish almost everything they use for the bike. The film is an entertaining story about regular people who have day jobs and live life like the rest of us, but has a strong passion for building motorcycles and actually do it.
after viewing your site, I want to kill myself. Thank you!
Eh! ok Uryi, you are welcome.
I have a 02 Fatboy & wanting to find an old 60’s style king queen seat with the large sissy bar. Im having trouble finding anything tall enough for the drivers back rest. Im wondering if it may have to be custom made. Ive done looked from search places & nothing like what i want. Do you know of anybody still building old school choppers, not some NEW old school with springs under a singer seat. Thanks Ron…
Hey Ron, if what you’re looking for has ever been an original Harley part, check out http://www.nosparts.com/
They are building king and queen seats again these days. But I think you’ll have a hard time finding one that will fit a softail frame.
But try asking on the http://www.jockeyjournal.com if anyone knows where to get it, it will be them.
[…] If you’ve seen “the Sinners” you know what to expect from the guys at Choppertown, and luckily they’ve decided to share some wicked footage from their secret tape vault. I guess having motorcycle nuts stalk them day and night to learn the whereabouts of the legendary vault stuffed with hours of material that didn’t make it into the first movie, made them decide to show us more. Which means I can return the case of TNT I ordered, probably a good idea since I’m not much of a demolition expert (whoops! just got myself terror flagged, right there). Anyways, here´s the trailer. Stay tuned for a full review as soon as I get my hands on this nugget. […]
