…. form my chopper! I'm building a custom chopper and I'm scratching around for a name for it. I'd like it to be surf music based, so if you have any suggestions, post 'em!

Here's what I've considered and dismissed:
Mr Moto
Dead Mans Curve (Actually this is not 100% dismissed!)
Pipeline
Trippin'
Gremmie
St Kahuna

I'm considering Chopacubra after the Messer Chups track, but….

Paging Noel, Boss Fink & The Eliminators.

In fact Boss Fink's RPM album has quite a few possible names.

Some background: It's a Lambretta chopper. It started out looking like this:

And I'm aiming for something like this:

Except with a smaller, single seat. It'll probably be matt black with a red Harley Sportster tank to start with. It'll have a 200cc Stage 4 tuned engine, which should be good for 80mph. Fast enough for me!

Other names I've considered are Agent Orange, Moondawg, even Misirlou is a contender.
I think I'd prefer a name rather than a 'concept'. Endless Summer would be apt, but I want a name, really.

Ahhhh,... I thought you ment a helicopter...

But being an Italian bike, you could name it after a spaghetti western tune. Like the Good, or the Bad, or even the Ugly. Or in Italian: Buono, Brutto or Cattivo.

Keeping it surf music related......you could always just refer to it as a "Pan-head".
