Known best for Groundhog Day, what about Bob and Ghostbusters, he is a pure comedic genius. His episode of OC Choppers involved the crew making a bike for him. The only problem is Bill had a lot of input on the bike. So, the end result is not what we typically see from an Orange County Chopper creation. However, we can honestly say Bill has one unique motorcycle, right down to the ground hog mounted on the front. Yet, even for its quirky, over the top look, this beast is a solid street performer.
Snap on Tools commissioned this bike and the OC team responded with an epic creation. The entire thing looks like it could be taken apart with Snap On Tools. Look closely though and it appears as if the bike itself is made from Snap On Tools.
Check out the handlebars for instance. Looks like the handlebars are a couple of sockets. This idea is echoed in the front wheel stem. The curves, lines and color of the bike complete the look. Snap On Tools never made a motorcycle look so good! When Sonic fast food restaurants wanted to have an incredible giveaway for their annual Sonic National Convention, they recruited Orange County Choppers. The bike was commissioned for build out and the end result is just spectacular!
It had to be because the goal was to impress a national franchise member audience. If you remember this particular episode there was a bit of anxiety towards The end when a pesky bracket and chrome bubbling caused issues.
The end result, complete with sonic themed LED lights, colors and branding, put this motorcycle over the top. And, it was a hit at the convention! Intel commissioned this bike for the launch of their quad core processor and OC Choppers delivered! The bike has a mobile computer nestled in the gas tank consider it the heartbeat if you will.
The computer powers a futuristic fingerprint id starter. And mirrors? Throw in an all digital custom dashboard and you have one lean, mean piece of machinery! You can see Paul Jr. As it happens, this build was largely uneventful. There were no looming deadlines or belligerent parts to contend with. The result is pure eye candy for a Giants super fan.
Team colors of red and blue are everywhere. The Giants logo can be see non the wheels, gas tank and engine badge. Perhaps best of all is the frame itself.
It screams 70s a famous time for the Giants , yet has a decidedly modern feel as well. All in all, Paul Jr. This customized motorcycle was fitted with weapons soldiers use every day.
The military war bike is outfitted with a horsepower engine and can reach miles per hour on wide open flat terrain! The goal of the bike was to represent the American soldier. Rugged, lethal, intimidating, well equipped, creative, finely tuned and adaptive, we would say the representation is accurate. When Lugz Shoes wanted a bike, they had this one commissioned. Actually, it was their parent company Jack Shcwartz, circa who reached out for this piece.
Since they started tying laces on opening day, their shoes have been sold in more than 90 countries. Somewhere along the way they became popular with the biker crowd. Hence, this awesome bike, complete with laces and leather. Semper Fi! The entire thing is decked out in dress blues. The gas tank is buttoned up nicely. And did you get a look at the saddle? Top it off with a sick engine badge and you have the perfect way to honor one of the fiercest fighting forces on the planets.
Oh yeah, and check out the foot pegs. It means business. Such is the case with the NRA custom trike bike. Take the seat for example. It looks as rough and tough, just like a western gunslinger. And, speaking of gunslinger, check out the custom exhaust which is nothing more than an iconic rifle bent from one end to the other!
Throw in beautiful glass and an incredible paint job and you have a bike the NRA can be proud of, even if it is a trike! They were the first company to combine PEX tubing and copper to create plumbing fittings. The build for their brand is decidedly aggressive and surprising.
The Statue of Liberty build had a massive amount of copper plating, but here the OC Chopper team decided to stick more with company colors. It works too! Nobody would ever guess this chopper was built for a company that makes plumbing fittings! Sure, but look at this bike, does it matter? Plus, there are plenty of head nods to the land of Down Under if you look close. For instance, under the seat is a picture of the great barrier reef also one of the seven wonders of the world.
The gas tank sports an iconic kangaroo silhouette and the engine carries the Australian flag. Besides, we love the maroon and gold color scheme. The lines flow beautifully around the bike and the colors really make the engine pop. They even traveled to North Carolina to meet Kyle at the camp upon delivery. If you remember this build, it was a rough one.
The problem centered around a backbone modification. To demonstrate this collaborative relationship, there will be more than user examples of machine learning, including the first-ever 5G test field that will be located in Hall Here, attendees will be provided with a glimpse of the future with a demonstration of the fifth generation of mobile communications.

A scan revealed that Braxton had Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Three weeks later, he had a second surgery at St Jude to remove part of the right side of his brain and more of the tumor. The Details:. Some people say that the Chopper is one of the most iconic symbols of American culture. The very first product they produced was an oscillator, of all things, but it got the duo of Bill Hewlett and David Packard off to the races.
When Orange County Choppers built them their bike, the only thing that'll tell you that it's a bike dedicated to the software company is the classic HP logo on the engine! Now, we don't like when a bike looks too much like the product its supposed to represent, but a little more here in that regard would have been nice, and no, we're not talking about rims that look like laptops.
Who else remembers riding their bike through the streets of their neighborhoods when they were kids, feeling the wind blowing through your hair, the sights and sounds of your neighborhood whipping past you as you made your way round and round that block for the first time?
Who also remembers seeing that band of motorcycles speed past you on the road, leaving you in the dust? I do, and although it wasn't a Schwinn for me, from that moment on, my bicycle wasn't a bicycle—it was a Harley or a Honda cruiser. That's why it was so cool that OCC decided to make a chopper dedicated to the good old bicycle.
But the design left a lot to be desired, we're afraid. They could have made the body and wheels a little meatier, though. We're positive that with a little more time, they could have designed a bike that resembled a Schwinn bicycle but was still a chopper in every sense of the word. Viega is a plumbing and heating systems company that was founded in the 19th century. That's true. It's been operating since , and the company is respected in its field. They were the first to come out with press technology that fused copper and PEX tubing to form plumbing fittings.
That said, I have a single question for the OCC team, and then I'll rest my case, because other than this one thing, the bike looks rather decent. But here it is: don't you think they should have included some copper on this bike instead of just the company logo colors?
This bike is a perfect example of Paul Senior going too far with the whole design concept of building choppers. After Junior went his own way, OCC made leaps and bounds towards the future but it wasn't necessarily the best direction to go in, especially for a man who started out of his very own garage.
Much to the chagrin of his senior staff of mechanics, the company relied heavily on pre-designs and concepts for these new bikes and were then expected to build them, often delegating fabrication to smaller companies who would build some of their parts like gas tanks. Hence, the Dragon Bike, something that's cool for the first ten minutes before you start looking for a smoother, more classic ride.
I don't know, but when you say the word Chopper, it doesn't exactly scream electric vehicle, does it? I know that electric and hybrid vehicles are great for the environment and that's a great thing, and we couldn't be prouder of the men and women striving to save our natural resources by adding this to our choices when selecting vehicles.
I mean, choppers are meant to be loud beasts that thunder and rattle beneath you as you see the miles pass you by on the highway or that lonely country road. The subtle buzz of an electric motorcycle doesn't quite cut it, sadly. Now this is already a bit better than the Siemens electric motorcycle, as it was a hybrid and the use of a combustion engine was still, in fact, necessary. But for the love of all that is good and kind on this green earth of ours, what the heck is up with the rear end on this bike?
I understand they wanted to put the company name in legible print, but please, slap it on the fender, or the gas tank. Don't create a giant piece of metal that has no purpose in the first place, no matter what it says about the company! Other than that, the bike is beautiful, so this one's sad, if nothing else. First off, I want to say that honoring the men and women that serve to protect all nations around the world is a great thing and one we respect.
We should all be proud of the men and women that risk and give their lives to keep us all collectively safe all over this beautiful planet. So any criticism here comes strictly from a mechanical and design frame of mind. And speaking of frames, this motorcycle was conceptually wrong from the get-go, starting with the frame.
