Hubby took the day off yesterday, and I've been off this week, so we took a drive to the
Orange County Choppers store. If you've ever seen the show "
American Chopper," you know that OCC has built some pretty astounding motorcycles. They've got a number of them displayed at the store (click for larger images):
Among the first few in this view are the Comanche Bike, the Christmas Bike, and the Police Bike (NYPD)
From Left to Right - the Lance Armstrong Bike, NY Jets Bike, Jorge Posada Foundation (Yankees) Bike
One of my favorites, the Black Widow
Among the most impressive are their military-themed bikes, some of which have gone to support military charities:
The Comanche Bike
The detail on these bikes is just unbelievable - check out these close-ups of the Comanche bike:

The two that stood out the most to me, however, were the Fire Bike, and the POW Bike:
The Fire Bike, a tribute to 9-11 Heroes
The Fire Bike's tank, featuring a piece of steel
from the World Trade Center

The POW Bike

Others that are sure to impress include the Shuttle Tribute Bike, and Junior's Dream Bike (the green webbed one next to the Black Widow in the picture above). The photos can't possibly do these beautiful bikes justice. If you're ever in the area of Montgomery, NY, I highly recommend stopping in to see them. You can also see views of these and other bikes, with close-ups, at the
OCC Website.
Hey, Patti...close your eyes for a minute, and just envision it....the
Soldiers' Angels Bike.... : )
