I thought you might be referring either to the mods. deleting device or the male member (what Spike Milligan referred to as "wedding tackle").

Yes, bloody things!.......mind you the gearlever no longer exists...in the name of "PC" they've bottled the damages claims & gone for handlebar mounted gear change!!
So......is it still a "chopper?"......in name only methinks.
And no! me nads are fine, 'cos I never owned one.......

Oh yes those old contraptions were tricky to stear as well, and not great for getting through tight squeezes either with those handlebars, as some guys have stated you were a bit hesitant to peddle out of the saddle in case the gear slipped which it did regularly, still that was half the fun!!
