1966 Harley-Davidson Chopper: Born Free 6 Invited Builder Caleb Owens

Been riding my Pan chopper almost 50 years now,glad to see some youngsters carrying on our lifestyle the way we really did it.😎

Another sweet spot on the old rigid Pans was when it vibrated just right so the girl behind you would get all lathered up and want you to pull over and scratch that itch! And I knew exactly what speed that spot was!

One of the most honest clip about choppers in the web.A real cool guy , no a wanna be, "master builder" , love you talking ! Hugs !

That's the real deal right there. No flash, nothing fancy, just cool to the bone. Old school shit, one of a kind......that's what I like. I started riding in 1958,and still at it.  Thanks for posting man.

I just picked up a shovelhead motor and I'm going to be starting my build, which will be the first bike I will have ever owned. Love watching this for inspiration and ideas.

.... really enjoyed this - I'm old and used to buy Chopper magazine from a wee shop in NZ, an electricians shop where they had 45's (records) and LP's - we all loved chops and would sit around talking about king & queen seats and V twins even tho we were kids and barely knew what we were talking about. Then we'd 'chop' our bicycles - kids would bring their bikes to me - chopping the forx in half and 'extending' them by bashing steam pipe on then bashing the fork end into that piece of pipe. My mum taught me upholstery and I'd recover our banana seats and sissy bars in purple vinyl. with maltese cross taillights (stolen) - years and years later I'm now an old amputee (purple CB750, lamppost, pain) with one leg and a whole lot of cool memories.

The Hughes Theatre door knob made my day ... THE single coolest part of the Bike.

This is my favorite video on YouTube I watch it every once in a while to inspire myself to build bikes when I'm older I can truly say this is the most beautiful bike I've ever seen

I just love Choppers and I love this video. The way Caleb Owens talks about his bike in general is just amazing. He´s just so laid back and confident. The way he explains RIDING the bike is even better. Probably one of the last inputs I needed to understand that I need a Chopper to. Got my rigid frame, springer front end Triumph pre-unit a while after I saw this. But I loved choppers since the late 70´s when I first saw them at roadracing events in Sweden. They were not racing but they were in the parking lot.

Big talent that made room to thank other friends, artists and craftsman that contributed to this sweet chopper. Thanks for the video..no gimmicks, no wacky over the top edits, or distracting music - just great detail mixed with a passion for the history and essence of choppers.

It is so great to see a scooter that doesn't have billet wheels and a 300 on the back. This is the way I did it in the beginning.

Rode a rigid Shovel chop for 20 years..............bought a new softail in 98........really miss that ol shovel

flat,knuck,pan,shovel and block heads..rode em all..but nothing compares to a boiled down raw shovel..the sound,the smell and just when you think shes about to shake apart...settles down and leans into the wind askin for more butterfly..while the pipes explode with approval...yeah...nothin like a shovel...

A particulary fine example of a pure bred chopper with all the right parts! Amen! Great video!

I have watched this video several times over time , I keep coming back because it's a Great show and this is where I want to be , a bike like Caleb's . I went out a week ago and bought a 81' WG just to get closer to my goal , I am a Life-long biker 60 years on bikes Saved the best for last

I hope the art of building these awesome rigids doesn't get lost with the younger generation

Ah, those nicely paved flat roads... Sometimes I dream about having one bike like this, but roads where I live bring me back to reality ;)

I really enjoyed this video. Great to see an old style chopper like this.

The American Dream! Sweet build!

While you’re on that bike you’re living my dream. Apart from the crash.
