Judging by the fact that modified, home-built, amateur and semi-professional bikes have been being built in garages throughout the world for more than 35 years, I'd suggest it has exceeded the 'fad' threshhold. Major bike manufacturers have recently become involved with factory-made choppers and all indications seem to indicate they're a hit. I'm proud to say I own an authentic (all-chromed) lowrider, a beach cruiser, a streched cruiser and a chopper. Every one of them are more fun than a barrel full of monkeys (and, yes, I have ridden a barrel full of monkeys).
