Choppers & Road Trips

The Early Years 1973 - 1979

By: Shovelhead Dave

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In 1973, Dave got his first motorbike and started misadventures on two wheels. He became a professional carpenter and an award-winning custom chopper builder with his bikes features in magazines. Throughout his life, he has clocked up many miles on his '74 AMF Chopper on road trip adventures, capturing the moments in time with his camera. Dave continues to ride the same chopper 48 years later and still builds choppers in his spare time when he's not writing down his memories for the next memoir. Richard found Shovelhead Dave telling his stories on social media groups, and after many requests from people following his stories for a book, he decided to take on the challenge of working online with Dave collecting all the parts and producing a series of books covering 48 years of motorcycling experiences and road trips.
