An editorial overview. The sequence shows mission phases, not a city map drawn to scale.

Availability: Jim’s call and the J marker

Liberty City Choppers becomes available after Clean and Serene when Jim calls and his mission appears on the map. Meet Jim around Aspdin Drive in Acter, near the clubhouse. Jim plans to steal Angels of Death motorcycles for a buyer. You need the flatbed truck, a shared trip to the diner and a final delivery. Normal completion requires four loaded motorcycles and Jim aboard for the return. A fifth bike and eliminating every later pursuer are not additional delivery requirements.

Prepare the vehicle, passenger and cargo

Save outside an active assignment before starting and check ammunition, health and armour if available. The fight takes place among the motorcycles you need, Jim and the truck. A dependable ordinary firearm is easier to control than explosives that can hit vehicles and friends together. Distinguish Jim’s meeting place from the truck location. First travel to the Yankee in Alderney City. The diner is farther south in Tudor, on Emery Street. The return destination is the newly marked delivery yard. Keeping those three places separate is more useful than following an old destination after the mission has already changed it.

Step by step: diner and first motorcycle

At the diner, a shared drive becomes loading under attack. Prepare for trouble as soon as you begin taking the bikes.

  1. Start at Jim’s marker and travel with him to the indicated truck in Alderney City. Enter the Yankee’s driving seat and wait for Jim to board. A motorcycle at the meeting point does not replace this transport vehicle.
  2. Drive to the Tudor diner and enter the designated parking position. Check the rear ramp and the connection between it and the parked motorcycles before getting out.
  3. Choose one of the Angels of Death bikes. Five are available, but four must be loaded. Approach the ramp squarely and ride up with restrained throttle rather than hitting the entrance at speed.
  4. Expect the diner’s attackers from the first theft/loading sequence onward. When fighting starts, interrupt the loading and dismount. Do not try to move every remaining motorcycle up the ramp while taking uninterrupted fire.

Step by step: fighting, four loads and Jim

This route uses the reinforcements introduced by the assignment. The call helps control the car park; it does not load the motorcycles for you.

  1. Use the phone to call Terry or Clay for backup. Calling either brings both men to help. Choose combat support rather than accidentally arranging a separate weapon or vehicle service.
  2. Take a position overlooking the diner and parking area. The western roadside is a useful starting point. Use solid protection where it preserves visibility, and avoid firing through Jim or the motorcycles you need to steal.
  3. Secure the immediate area, then resume loading. Ride each additional motorcycle up the ramp individually. Correct a crooked approach by reversing briefly rather than repeatedly accelerating into the truck’s loading edge.
  4. Load four bikes in total. Watch for the return instruction and the rear gate closing. The fifth parked candidate is not another mandatory step once loading is complete.
  5. Return to the driving seat and wait for Jim again. Leave together when the return route is active. Do not drive away alone while he is still fighting on foot at the diner.
  6. Follow the destination toward the delivery yard. You can continue driving to deal with the pursuing bikers rather than killing each one; this route does not require eliminating them all. Enter the final marker with the Yankee and wait for the scene.

Return journey: give the Yankee room

The loaded truck is wider and less responsive than the motorcycle used earlier. Brake before tight corners, allow room for the turn and avoid fixed posts. Pursuers make getting stuck more dangerous: a short clear detour can be better than a supposed shortcut where the truck cannot turn around. If an attacker rides beside the cargo, do not create an explosion at your own tailgate. Prioritise a clear lane to the yard. The concluding encounter with crooked police officers belongs to this assignment’s story sequence. It is not another unfinished transport instruction that you must prevent by attacking the officers beforehand.

Troubleshooting

If progress stalls, first check the current text and passengers, then the vehicle position.

Troubleshooting
ProblemWhat to check
The objective remains at the truck.Johnny and Jim must be in the intended Yankee. Wait for Jim to board and for the diner objective to update.
A bike will not reach the flatbed.Align it squarely with the ramp. Use light throttle and correct sideways contact rather than pushing against the truck wall.
Three bikes are loaded but nothing advances.Four registered bikes are required. Check which motorcycle actually reached the complete loading position.
I am trying to add the fifth bike.When the gate closes and the return instruction appears, the load is complete. Get into the truck to leave.
Jim stays behind or leaving fails the attempt.Do not abandon the diner area early. Secure the fight and let Jim board before the return drive.

FAQ, retries and editions

Must all five motorcycles be rescued? No, the loading target is four. What about Terry and Clay? This solution calls them for combat help; keep gunfire and explosions away from them instead of treating them as indestructible cover. An earlier save lets you prepare again if the truck or a required companion is lost. Motorcycles already loaded are not permanent partial progress for a new attempt. The assignment applies to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, including the PC Complete Edition. Aiming assistance and phone inputs depend on your mapping; the vehicle and passenger sequence stays the same.

How this guide was checked

Source research compares mission-specific PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 FAQs with other walkthroughs; no personal playthrough is claimed. Checked four-of-five loading, Jim’s passenger role and the shared backup call. The first theft is treated as the danger point without claiming an exact second or universal trigger timing.
