American Chopper Helicopter Bike Episode

[Jen]

Hi guys,

My husband just left to attend the unveiling of the Helicopter Bike, for an upcoming American Chopper Episode. He had a VIP pass, given to him by the owners of the company who traded a Helicopter for the motorcycle. He only had one pass, so alas, I could not go.  :-[

Mikey is supposed to be delivering the bike via the helicopter, given in trade. 

David (my husband) took his camera equipment, so I hope to have plenty of photos to post...if not of the bike (could be legal reasons why I can't post them) then of the Tuttles themselves. Dave also has an opportunity to take a ride in a helicopter today. As a non-geek, this unveiling  is the highlight of his weekend...if not his life. :D

I'll post more details soon.  ;)

Here are the first few pics as promised. As I mentioned above, Mikey was supposed to deliver the bike via helicopter. They pulled a practical joke on Paul Senior by dropping a fake bike. It fell to the ground, a guy ran over to it, to "check on it" but he really lit the fake bike on fire...making it look as though it burst into flames. Paul Sr. Is the guy with the mustache, in case anyone doesn't watch this show (American Chopper) on the Discovery Channel. More to follow...

Awesome.....I love this show and watch when I can.  They always come up with some unusual ideas for bikes.
