Neo Nair Choppers: Edition V

Hey ! It's bin a while. Here's edition V of Neo-nair Choppers. A fresh set of 2 wheeled, pulled back and muscular beasts await your viewing. Check out this times choppers, this is one edition that is somewhat theme-less. I tried to tread upon abstract designing, just to see where a design would go without prior thought. Just ensuring each element designed made sense when it was put together with the following one, I think the results turned out pretty nice in these 4 specimens

THE YELLOW BASTARD

I took heavy insiration from the Harley VRSCA and thought how I could customize it. My idea was to get it more swanky, more detailed and more bastard-like than a stock monster.

In the SPOTLIGHT: Leonard Cohen

Well people, this piece is going to be straight from the heart... Leonard Cohen is by far the most influential songwriter/musician for me, personally. I’ve heard this man’s discography through and through, there’s not a single second worth of anything below par than sheer musical genius in his work. I was so deeply moved by Leonard Cohen’s song writing style that most of my compositions resonate this unique style of his each time I put my thoughts down. That eclectic mix of literary painting of a landscape with enigmatic rhyme schemes, the feeling it gives you is something that truly falls short of anything comparable. It’s not music, Leonard Cohen is an experience.

The unconventional answer for protecting an unconventional nation: Unifying the elite to serve better and to counter international as well as domestic threats to India.

The waking call for military India, according to the general public perception, is only when there is an official breaking out of war. But, there is a lot more to warfare in the world we live today. Battlefields have evolved since the days when India dug its feet in Kargil last. They do not necessarily have to be the desert covered landscapes or snow-capped peaks. Today’s battles are fought, many a times, in silos and under urban or foreign settings, in lands which might, in no logical way, be connected to a nation’s occupation there.

What are Special Operations Forces?
 

The reference here goes to Special Operations (SpecOps) forces. To Quote Wikipedia on the roles played by the SpecOps, include “Special reconnaissance/military intelligence, unconventional warfare, and counter-terrorism actions. Special operations are sometimes associated with unconventional warfare, counter-insurgency (operations against insurgents), operations against guerrillas or irregular forces, low-intensity operations, and foreign internal defence.”

Neo Nair Choppers: Edition IV

 Monsters for the 4th edition of Neo-Nair Choppers are here..

SPECIAL (CH)OPERATIONS BIKE

Other than making a really loud sound while starting and grunting on the road as it goes, what about this bike doesn't scream Military operation! Its edgy fender and tank give it the right amount of kick to be called as a military designed vehicle. But somehow I gotta stick with a red seat and handlebars, that contrast it pulls with a green paint job would look brilliant.

Neo Nair Choppers: Edition III

Batch 3 is up, Check it out!

THE REVOLUCION CHOPPER

I was listening to Il Nino's album Revolution Revolucion when writing this album. And I wanted to make something bare boned and would scream ghetto monster. The front spring suspensions, the stripped down plain tank and holes punched into the back fender really did the trick on this one for me atleast.

Neo Nair Choppers: Edition II

Welcome to another edition of Neo-Nair Choppers! Here's a collection of four more awesome beasts from my measly drawing board on MS Paint. I won't go talking much on this one. Check em out and let me know what you think.

THE LONG FORKER

So this one's a throwback to a classic chopper design technique of putting twice as long forks on a bike. It gives a really cruising limousine look if you ask me.

Neo Nair Choppers: Edition I

  So here's introducing a brand new section to our repertoire here. This corner shall be called 'Neo Nair Choppers'(Chopper - Customized and/or hand built cruising bike). I first came across the phenomenon of choppers about 7 years ago, while watching 'The biker build off' that aired on the TLC channel. I was in love from the get go, each custom model was worth drooling an ocean over. 

What caught my attention the most was the sheer amount of customization that is possible on a chopper. Right from major parts such as fuel tanks to minute details such as foot rests. It appeared like a canvas which needed different tools altogether to create upon.

Out of the many ways that stood out in custom building a chopper, I was most intrigued by the 'concept or theme chopper' style. Here, you bike on a theme such as , say, an F16 fighter jet or Shelby Mustang and go about building a bike inspired from those elements.

I started out drawing sketches of these awesome creatures using my own imagination by picking a theme and going about designing a concept bike. It got tougher as staying or carrying pencil and paper everywhere was a hassle. Ergo, I started using the digital equivalent of the simple tools of pencil and paper, that is, MS Paint.

As it turns out, you can do some very interesting and cool stuff with that primitive old toolbox you've had since forever in your PC.

So here's my first edition of chopper designs for you to see. I hope you guys love them .There's about a 30 odd of these unholy beasts I've designed and are awaiting launch. So keep comin' back as I'll keep posting a lot more. 

I don't know about you folks, but I think there's something very Rock n Roll about choppers. Cheers!

(PS: Check the description below each design to know the inspiration for each bike..although some of them are just a motley of inspirations coming together)

 This is my take on a 'Bomber Chopper'. It had to have the meanest possible look ever..what says that better than a mean lookin' grinning tank and horns on the front mud-guard.
