Hello and welcome to the ChookChasers website. Now you ask, “What is ChookChasers all about?" Well, it's a site specifically for dirt bikes of the older, more vintage variety. These trailie, motocross, ag-bikes, paddock-bashers and of course chookchasers that are ridden by average Joes doing things in the dirt!

You say: “But, I don't want to read about old bikes or ride them, cause they're crappy. I want Chad Reed's bike!” Yeah, great idea..

But can you afford it? - maybe through Harvey Norman Finance (adding to the ever-growing debt in Australia)

Can you ride like Chad Reed?
-If yes, then you don't need to buy, as the Race Team will supply you with one, if you're that good.
-If no...Well, then keep those pictures on the bedroom wall because in time you'll become like us and want to ride the older bikes, like Chad's when he was in his prime.

As we said the site is about average Joes riding chookies in the dirt.

Did you know?

The term “chookchaser” or “chooky” was used frequently in the 70's to reference to a smallish form of dirtbike in Australia.

chook chaser
n Austral derogatory slang
1. (Individual Sports, other than specified) a small motorcycle, esp for off-road use
2. (Individual Sports, other than specified) a person who rides such a motorcycle

This site is mainly for general riders who love to get out on their old bike and go for a blast, enjoying the company of other chookchaser enthusiasts. There are no experts here! However, you will find info on bikes e.g. trail tests from old magazines and so on as well as current test rides on bikes by chooky riders associated with this site to give you an insight into bikes that are 2nd-hand and of the older type. But those young fellows who have just left their mother's groin shouldn't underestimate the vintage chookchasers and think they are weak and feeble. Some of these old girls can hammer and in the right hands can stay right up there with the modern bikes in terms of power and speed!

At the moment the site we will update the site as much as we can but with work and life demanding things, we can't do everything. Also the creators of the site very few, so it will take time, but we hope to build the content in the future.

So go check out our feature story, Conongrail!

Remember to keep the dream alive fellas and ride and restore, what ever it takes to keep these machines alive, they're worth it! And enjoy the chookchasers site!
