Metal Sculpture "White Noise"

I gotta a little behind this week and was out of town for a few days...and totally blew posting this week's Year of the Chopper. There's only 3 hours left on the auction for White Noise, but if you miss it there, look for it in the Choppers for Charity section of my Etsy store.

Shapeshifter Triumph

The 33rd Year of the Chopper bike is a Triumph, not modeled after a specific bike, just a look I dig. Low, raked out, bobbed, short pipes....nice and clean.

On this bike, my 135th motorcycle sculpture overall, I used fuel lines for the exhaust and allen wrenches for the front forks and handlebars. The engine is made from an old piece of threaded rod with a cleaned up nut making the head.

Bid on this bike here: Tig welded Triumph for Charity

The "Detroit Uprising"

The Detroit Tigers Opening Day is right around the corner, the Red Wings are the hottest team in the NHL heading into the playoffs, and the Detroit Lions are prepping for their traditionally high pick in the 2010 NFL draft pick! No better time than now to bring out a Detroit inspired Year of the Chopper.

And here it is. Check out the inscribed old English D on each side of the gas tank, along with one welded onto the rear fender.

Get in on the action for "Detroit Uprising!"
