Lance Armstrong Bike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lance Armstrong Bike was a motorcycle built by Orange County Choppers on the American reality television show American Chopper. After a visit to Nike headquarters, the American Chopper crew sets out to build a bike honoring (then) five-time winner of the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong, and his Lance Armstrong Foundation. Numerous custom parts were fabricated Remincluding a prominent cover plate with 5 stars to symbolize Lance's 5 victories, which had to be altered when he won his 6th. The bike is designed to resemble an actual bicycle, the fuel tank following the lines of Lance's riding helmet, and its paint scheme is the yellow and black of the Livestrong Foundation.
Despite a serious injury for Rick on a drill press and the usual squabbling between Junior and Senior, the bike was finished on time and presented to Lance on The Tonight Show.
Lance has come back to do a commercial for future seasons of American Chopper. In the commercial he races back to his hotel room, hears the whirring of buzzing metalwork behind the door, and finds the Teutuls (Mikey, Junior, and Senior) with his newly Chopper'ed bike (featuring sharp spokes, a fuel tank-like protrusion for some reason, etc).
