    Gander Mtn. & Orange County Choppers Team Up To Help SCI

    Posted by MikeAdams on January 7, 2009

         If you have been watching American Chopper recently you might have noticed a special bike they were building. You ask why is he writing about a motorcycle on a hunting and fishing blog? Well this motorcycle is a special one of a kind bike that is going to be auctioned off at the Safari Club International annual convention on Friday January 24, 2009 in Reno, Nevada.

         The bike was sponsored by Gander Mountain and Three Forks Ranch and built with a custom Gander Mountain theme by Orange County Choppers for the event. OCC has the bike listed on their “ON-AIR THEME CHOPPERS” web page. Just go to page 8 in the list and click on the Gander Mtn. bike, it will give you the option of clicking on 19 different photos of the bike that will show all of the detailed work that carries the theme. . While your visiting OCC’s web site tell Mikey and Vinney I said hello!

         What I especially like is the Mossy Oak Shadow Grass camo pattern on the bike! Below is a complete list of the bikes details:

     

     

    Gander Mountain has proudly donated an enduro-style, moto-cross hybrid motorcycle, custom built by one of the worlds’ premier builders of custom motorcycles, Orange County Choppers. A leading retailer in the outdoor lifestyle industry, Gander Mountain has teamed up with the crew at OCC to create this custom theme bike, built from the ground up with production featured on two, one hour episodes of the hit television series American Chopper. This theme bike incorporates multiple creative elements and concepts resulting in an eye-catching collector’s piece that offers outstanding performance on or off road. Features include a powerful, V-twin engine, chain drive, inverted front end, long-travel suspension, gas shocks in the front, air shocks in the rear and spoke wheels. Theme elements encompass the entire motorcycle including multi-purpose tires, dual KC headlights, a Gander Mountain logo air cleaner and Mossy Oak Shadow Grass fenders and accents by Tarjac, a company that specializes in state of the art hydrographic coating processes. Upon completion, this hybrid chopper was unveiled at the grand opening of Gander Mountain’s retail store in Bowling Green, Kentucky. For more information about this custom collector’s bike, contact Gander Mountain at 651-325-4300.

     

    Three Forks Ranch is one of the places I went by during my recent Colorado mule deer hunt with Up North Journal Pro Staffer Kevin Hutchings.  What a beautiful place!

      I have to say that OCC has built some pretty cool bike over the last few years. I would love to have one but I would rather have a nice fishing boat.
