me and my brother were looking for fishtanks in hard garbage today, and we didnt find any but we did find a motorbike frame in perfect condition, i am planning on buying a 80cc honda engine for it and extending the forks and buying the fattest tyre that will fit on the back :D, i think it will cost me around $200aus for the engine and the rest around $150aus.

Most people don't know this, but the term chopper came from rewireing Harley Davidsons. Yea you read it rite, rewireing Harley's! You take off the wireing harness find all the possitive wires, lights basicly, and run one main hot wire to all of them. Thats it, you made a chopper/chopped the wireing harness. Thats wear the name comes from. You can't do it like that on todays Harley's, it will screw up the ignition system. Anything 1975 and older it would probly be a good idea to rework the eletrical system.
