Statue of Liberty Bike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Statue of Liberty Bike or Liberty Bike was a motorcycle built by Orange County Choppers on the American reality television show American Chopper. Orange County Choppers was approached by CEO Richard W. Stocks, of Gold Leaf Corp. who also performed restoration work on the Statue of Liberty and maintains artifacts from it, and asked to build a bike dedicated to the statue and freedom. The kicker was they were given a few choice artifacts from the statue itself to incorporate into the bike (the cable that lit the torch became the shifter, for example), and the entire bike was plated in copper from the actual statue itself.
Because of the rarity of the artifacts (and the difficulty in replacing even a mundane part coated in such rare copper) chaos ensues over finding small side parts, but the bike makes the deadline as usual, leaving the OCC with another patriotic tribute bike.
It currently resides in the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL
