Attention, Street Chopper ReadersHere's your chance to blow away your friends by getting your bike shown in full color on the pages of your favorite chopper mag. All you have to do is send us your pictures!
All we ask is that you follow some simple guidelines so you get the best shot of your chopper. Take a shot of your bike from the left and right sides (we need shots of both sides) with a nice, clean background and the sun at your back. Please send color prints or slides, no Polaroids or digital image printouts. Remember, the better the picture looks, the more likely it is to be published. So if you think your bike looks better than the picture, shoot again.

Seeing RedMike Pierce always...
Seeing RedMike Pierce always wanted a custom chopper, but he had to settle for a Honda until he spotted a BMC Hooligan with a 240 tire and ridged frame. Two days later, the Honda was sold, and Mike had his bike-which he's since continued to customize with a backrest and specially inked tank. What's next for this red upstart? Time will tell.

Bike BeautyBy night, Dave...
Bike BeautyBy night, Dave drives a big truck. By day, he takes to the streets of New Hampshire aboard his custom hardtail. With sleek silver styling reminiscent of a '70s spaceship, this bike actually gives the picturesque background it was shot against a real run for its money-we're sure it leaves an impression wherever it goes.
