TAILGUNNER® EXHAUST SPECIAL PROJECT BIKES

SPECIAL PROJECT BIKE:
O.C.C. PATRIOT CHOPPER:
The "Patriot Chopper," is the first of three bikes built by Orange County Choppers for the National Guard. The Teutuls have a history of building patriotic bikes, and they have produced multiple theme bikes for several branches of the military. The finished bike showcases a Tailgunner Exhaust, Rotary Cannon "FIGHTER" model that has spinning barrels, the blade spokes of the wheels feature 3-D inlaid spearheads, representing the seven Army values and an ammunition belt lines the handlebars. Chromed M-4 magazines serve as the struts, and an M-4 carbine is mounted on the side of the rear wheel. The "Patriot Chopper" is the first of three bikes commissioned by the Army National Guard. The purpose is two-fold. First, the bikes are intended to be a recruiting tool. Second, the bikes can also convey important messages about safety. Army Guard recruiters will display them at rallies across the country to entice potential Soldiers to talk with them. "They're very willing to help us out in terms of safety awareness and wearing the proper gear for our Soldiers," said Maj. Gen. Nuttall. "The bike is one part of it - the build. But the safety is really what we're trying to get after."


SPECIAL PROJECT BIKE:
Hell's Tailgunner

Street-fighters are one of the hottest new segments of the motorcycle industry. They are considered by many to be the new outlaw motorcycles. To create the “Hell's Tailgunner” special project bike, two of America’s leading streetfighter builders joined forces, Jim "Hawks" Haucke of Angry Guy Streetfighters and Dave Begotka of Motocyco.

Mr. Haucke is responsible for the original concept and says that the Tailgunner™ Exhaust was the driving motivation behind the bike. “When I saw the new Tailgunners, the bike just screamed to be built. Basically, we wanted to build a bike around the exhaust. And our new tail section just begged for it. Streetfighters are about new, aggressive styling and functionality and the machine gun look is just perfect.”

Dave Begotka was the chief fabricator and assembler of the bike and responsible for a lot of the custom accessories including the Psycho tail section and brass knuckle reservoir. “We don't build bikes just for looks. Our custom streetfighters are designed with focus not only on design, but performance as well. We love to ride, and our bikes love to be ridden.” A Motocyco built streetfighter will attract attention wherever it is. Underneath its unique appearance is a machine that handles as good as it looks. And it will be as fun to ride on the streets as it is on the track.

As luck would have it, Dave’s wife Sandra is a respected fine artist and responsible for the bikes wicked paint. The central figure is a Reaper, straight from the the under world, brandishing none other than a stealthed out Tailgunner model TOS-103.

The Hell’s Tailgunner bike will be featured in the October issue of Super Streetbike magazine and other European publications. Lets all hope Jim, Dave and Sandra keep doing that voodoo they do so well for a long time to come.

SPECIAL PROJECT BIKE:
POW-MIA Vietnam War Memorial Bike
Some custom motorcycles are built on a whim, over a short period of time, and with very large financial resources at the builder's disposal. Others are oftentimes the result of years of planning, collaboration, conceptualization and working a second job. When Lewis Colon decided to build this beautiful POW-MIA Vietnam memorial bike, he did it using the latter. He also did it with purpose. Mr. Colon, who spent eight years in the U.S. Navy and was involved in the 1975 evacuation of Saigon, wanted to help give closure to the folks who are unable to attend the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Mr. Colon says that his bike "allows many people who have been unable to cope with the prospect of facing The Wall to begin the healing process. And eventually, hopefully, find closure." Mr. Colon offers his time and presence at various fundraisers, benefits and reunions across the Southeast and Florida.

Tailgunner Exhaust is grateful to be part of such a meaningful project bike and thanks Mr. Colon for his effort.
