Dixie Chopper Bike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dixie Chopper Bike was a motorcycle built by Orange County Choppers on the American reality television show American Chopper.
The lawn mower company Dixie Chopper (which bills itself as manufacturing the world's "fastest" lawn mower) hired OCC to build a bike as a promo for their own line of lawnmowers, thinking the humor of the word "chopper" (which is both a well-known slang term for motorcycle, as well as related to its lawn mowers – which, of course, chop up grass) would be humorous enough to move product and promote company recognition.
The episode is a pretty standard American Chopper episode, with some fun bits as the boys visit the Dixie Chopper factory and incorporate lawnmower bits into their bike—from the mower blades all the way up to the engine itself, a lawn mower engine which, after modification, provides enough power to be suitable for a motorcycle engine. Problems ensue with the carburetor not fitting and the rear fender bending out of shape, but in the end the bike comes out a success.
