The Chopper reminds me of being a youngster.
My parents never got me one though.

I quite like this one, I am not sure if it is a Mk1 or a Mk2

I had those handlebars on a different bike, never had a chopper. As for injuries, if you do a wheelie on that bike your hands will quickly slip off the handles and you'll need a dab of butter on the bump emerging on the back of your head (been there, done that)

@championdaddy , Am I detecting a touch of jealousy? I wouldn't mind having 10 classic cars either though...

@Rover2003, just remember not to slam on the brakes on that chopper. The gearstick positioning would not make for a comfortable crash.

I wouldn't mind getting a retro toy, namely a sinclair C5. Have fun with the chopper, my friend has one and it's great fun.
