Copr Chopper's "Groundpounder" has hidden air ride in the front and back shocks.  This allows the bike to be dropped on it's belly with no kickstand.  Many people don't know that.  They think the bike is suppose to ride while dragging on the ground.  When the bike is aired up, it has a 4 1/2 inche ground clearance for a safe and comfortable ride.   "Groundpounder" passed a 125 mile test ride with no problems to prove it's reliability and worthiness.  It's not only a bad ass bar hopper, but a rideable one to boot.

All the pictures SUCK!, but the Groundpounder is the only one that has halfway decent pics, plus the girl helps too.

I have been in e-mail about the ground popunder, which is an interesting bike. It has an air suspenstion which lifts it to 4.5 inches, and a hidden braking system for both wheels.. This leads to a nice look for the wheels and keeps things really clean.

In better pics the paint is awesum.... This bike is a rolling work of art and hi tech so far as I can make out..

So who's gonna buy me one? LOL

I learned that everything on Ground Pounder is hidden. The brakes are hidden under the seat and in the front wheel. Even the handlebars have no visible controls. I learned that it has an internal twist clutch, and internal twist throttle. The oil filter, and regulator is hidden inside the Primary housing. Even the shift linkage is hidden under the primary belt. Very clean indeed!!

OK, you got me, I'm not a professional photog. That's why I encouraged readers to visit each builder's homepage and view high-rez, studio-quality pics and provided links to each builder's site. While I was at the Laughlin River Run, I shot pics of unique bikes from up-and-coming builders. I wasn't sure who I was going to feature in the article or else I would have tried to shoot a more extensive photo montage.

Mr. Casual - These bikes are made for riding. Maybe not the type of riding that you like to do on your bike, but they are definitely street-ready. I could see myself cruising down Pacific Coast Highway on the Ground Pounder, or hitting the Vegas strip at night aboard a sweet Big Bear bike. As they say, different strokes for different folks. The most important thing is that we all ride.

Also, if you saw the way these bikes attracted fine women, you might reconsider. They're virtual magnets for beautiful women. 'Nuff said.

L M F A O!!

No sound-files? I'd think the winner should be based on how many decibles 80 HP can generate... Bet those hidden clutch/etc controls work real well, too.

I know, I know... to each his own, they're rolling-art, chick-maggots, "look at the craftsmanship, they're purty ; stay in the Sportbike forum", etc. I just like a product to actually deliver it's projected message.

Loud doesn't=fast. Huge tire doesn't=need for one, etc, etc.

All the bikes shown are true peices of art. There isn't one bike like them. That is why they call them one off customs. 99% of riders own a bike that is off of an assembly line that is produced 10,000 times over. The only difference is the color and a few aftermarket parts. A "One Off Custom" is hand crafted form scratch. I own both kinds. I have a stock sport bike, a modified Harley, and a radical Chopper. I enjoy them all. I will say that a radical chopper is funner to ride and draws more attention than any of the others at any given time or place.

Didn't you guys hear? The chopper craze is over. People are unloading the bikes in classifieds all over the country; new and used pricing reflects market correction; and nobody watches American Chopper anymore. It's time to move on.

Let me tell you all what.. I've have seen Groundpounder in person and there really is no words that can decribe just how awesome this bike is.. from the air ride supension to the hidden clutch lines its just simply AMAZING. All of the bike that are built by Copr Choppers are one of a kind. But i'd have to say that after building a bike like Ground Pounder where do you go? Maybe a 330 tire, or the helicopter bearing like Billy Lane used, some type of bad ass paint job that is just crazy..All i gotta say to Tony is if you top Groundpounder i cant wait to see that bike..

Groundpounder just won 1st Place Best of Show in the Red River Motorcycle Rally. This is Copr Choppers 5th consecutive win at this event. They decided to retire Tony and make him a judge for next years show.

I think "None of the Above" would win if it was listed.  Does anyone actually ride these things - more than 10 miles at a time?

Don't be jealous cause your bike is probably stock and gets no looks. Groundpounder had to go on a 125 mile test ride just to be entered in the Biker Build Off Challenge. If 125 mile ride is not enough proof of a rideable bike, then what is. And to top off it's reliability, it has 130 horsepower (more than most bikes on the road)

I love chops. Maybe not this type with all the extra sheet metal,and the low seats, but I would take any one of these over a sport bike. I'm not "against" sport bikes, hell two wheels are two wheels and anyone who rides is ok in my book, but give me a red, white and blue homemade chop anyday. Maybe they're not as fast as a sport bike, but when we both get to where we're going, who 's gonna have the crowd around their bike. (not that that is what I want, but it is the truth)

This is not really a subject that holds my interest. What I do find interesting is the number of first time posters in this thread. I have a horrible feeling we are seeing people registering, perhaps with muliple user names, in order to push the interests of one particular bike. I plan on asking Cadd to investigate.

I agree, but they're not really spamming, so can Cadd or Mac really do anything?

Well, on one hand I could have the accounts deleted, but then what good would it do?

The damage is already done.

All the new members look legit to us, with unique email accounts. As far as we're concerned a Copr Choppers get out the vote campaign for friends and family is A-okay and encouraged. Hopefully we can get some folk to stick around and participate long term, as we got a great online community here.
