Airgas Chopper

plainvanilla · March 24, 2006

I got to see the Airgas Chopper built by OCC this week. Boy it was sweeet..

They had two built. One was an old school style and it is traveling in the east and the other, the one I saw, is a long stretched out chopper.

Funny story. It was in Dallas over the last week. They pull it in a plain white, F250 4X4 Offroad crew cab with a plain, black, wells cargo motorcycle trailer. While it was parked inside the Dallas Airgas yard overnite, the night before the scheduled show, it was stolen.

Some knuckle dragging morons thought the trailer was full of welders or something and broke into the truck and drove the whole rig through the chain link fence.

As soon as it was discovered gone, a massive recovery was launched including the Ft Worth/Dallas police helicopters.

About 4 hours later it was spotted in a Home Depot parking lot. The trailer lock was broken but the bike was fine. All they took was some small hand tools out of the trailer.

The poeleece suspect that when they realized what was there that they could not fence a one of a kind $100,000 chopper too easy so they abandoned everything, but not before the HD security cameras got a picture of them. They think they will be able to track them down shortly.

It was on the other night, but I didn't catch it. I think it was a new one. I also like Biker Build-off.

I like all three of those shows. There was one that I caught late at night once on discovery which was basically a redneck version of American Chopper. I don't remember the name, but it was pretty good.

I think it was Southern Chopper with the guys at Milwaukee Iron. Can't say I liked a single one of their bikes at all. If you guys get the Speed Channel there was a show on called Texas Hardtails that was pretty funny. It's a real shop out of Dallas called Strokers. They're not going to be on Speed Channel anymore, but they're shopping around. It's a great show, if you can find it.

yeah, that show was called Southern Steel about the shop Milwaukee Iron.

The guys were alot calmer than the Teutels, but there work really did not stand out that much to me.

Southern Steel! Yeah, I agree on their work. It looked really amateur compared to anything else I've seen, but I guess it appeals to some. I'm not saying the more elaborate, the better. I just like stuff that captures the eye and theirs didn't do a thing for me.
