Perhaps I'm misinformed...

noun
noun: bobber; plural noun: bobbers
a small float placed on a fishing line to hold the hook at the desired depth.

And from wikipedia...
"A bobber is a custom motorcycle that usually has had the front fender removed, the rear fender "bobbed" (made smaller), and all superfluous parts removed to reduce weight."

And listed under "history"
"...style of custom motorcycle, which took shape in the 1940s and 50s, is generally thought to have been started by returning WWII American servicemen working on ex-military motorcycles, and inspired by lighter European motorcycles they had seen and ridden. When bobbers were first created, the intent was not to create a new type of motorcycle or sub-genre, the idea was to keep motorcycles on the road as cheaply as possible."

Interesting facts, I dig it. Why has no one posted pictures? (Of bobbers or boobies.)

EDIT -- as for the later, plz disregard -- this is a 'family friendly' forum. W/e that means.
