The Crossroad’s Demon

Although you would think ‘chopping’ is a simple task of clearing the tube frame of any excess bodywork and struts, there are a lot more things to think about. Seat position, wiring/ electrics and cabling have to be taken into account, also there is no place to hide – everything is on display from the engine unit to the underneath of the bodywork. Chopper owners also seem to have a desire to stamp their own mark on their builds. Frame rakes and come to that complete frame redesign, hidden goodies and one-offs have often been the goal of this type of customiser. One word sums this up – radical. And you don’t get much more radical than the machine you see here.

Owned and built by proud Frenchman Scotty (I know, a bit confusing!), The Crossroad’s Demon started life as a 1974 Jet 200 which he acquired for just £20 in 1990.
