Ammenities

The Chopper Garage is the home of the job minigame Motorcross Mayhem, where the player races dirt-bikes against four opponents. A notable mechanic in Motorcross Mayhem is the ability for a player to build their own chopper to use for racing. Talking to the guy next to the motorcycle display will open the way to do this: Create-A-Hogg. These are the following parts available in Create-A-Hogg and their function:
