You Go GirlsThe Chopper Chick Crew, a dedicated, all-female team of bike builders, built a chopper in seven hours and 13 minutes on March 8th and 9th at the Daytona International Speedway and donated it to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The build was a complete success and the Crew couldn't be happier about the results. The bike was shipped, courtesy of Harley-Davidson, to the foundation after it was finished. The Pink Ribbon Chopper will be used for fundraising, or any other medium that raises awareness and funding to help the foundation toward its goals. The Pink Ribbon Chopper is the second bike the crew has built for breast cancer, but the first for the foundation.
Built in front of a live audience, the Pink Ribbon Chopper is a long, lean hardtail in white with a pink ribbon painted on the gas tank and a pink rear fender in the shape of a ribbon. The chopper also has wheels with huge pink ribbons as spokes. Crew member Athena Ransom said, "We are just so excited that the build went off as well as it did, but we couldn't have done it without our sponsors. So many people gave their time and energy to this amazing project. We are very grateful. I was surrounded with the best crew any builder could have and I am blessed to have so many wonderful friends who are passionate about what we as bikers represent."
