Almost everyone into choppers, custom bikes, hot rods, muscle cars or whatever the Americans made for the rest of us to refine, dreams about crossing the American continent in some way. First choice is off course to ship your own wheels, but that takes time and requires another car or bike in the garage unless you like to skip a season back home. Second choice is renting a bike or a car, and until now you have been referred to become a bus driver at least if we are talking bikes. Its probably comfy as hell, but it ain’t my thing…
Planet Chopper understands our needs and have customised bikes for thoose who prefer a hardtail, a long fork or at least a comfy sizzy to lean against. The New Zeeland/ United States based company offers both varoius rides and tours and this is how they describe them selves:
“Planet Chopper Baby
Planet Chopper, like most pure ideas, was born on the road. Father and Son Mark and Ben Van Leeuwarden had been travelling to the USA from New Zealand for motorcycle trips when they first met friends John Devonshire and Wayne Cayton in 2009. With a love for customs, old-fashioned fun and long-distance riding — the friendship kickstarted. Over the next 10 years they would ride over 10,000 miles together, heading to custom motorcycle rallies, beautiful lakes, rivers and mountains, completing on-the-spot repairs, drinking, laughing and making a whole new bunch of friends for all the reasons above. Planet Chopper was created to foster and spread this spirit: the spirit of custom motorcycle building, riding and partying. We offer life changing motorcycle trips in New Zealand, the United States and Mexico. These untamed tours will fulfil your craving for madness, adventure and the unknown.^
