Bourget's Limited Edition Lady Low Blow ChopperBourget's Bike Works Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona, announced their unique partnership with the 1 in 8 Motorsports Series Against Breast Cancer to create 25 limited edition custom Lady Low Blow motorcycles bearing the 1 in 8 badge and marks. The 1 in 8, recently called the fastest-growing motorsports charity in the United States, was created by its CEO, Ken Vrana, while working with the breast cancer charity that was founded to honor the life of the late Linda Eastman McCartney, first wife of Sir Paul McCartney.
The bike, a slightly downsized model of the popular Low Blow, is being built for women who want the power and styling of a Bourget custom motorcycle. The bike will be available with a vast array of options to make each machine a one-of-a-kind creation. The first 25 produced will receive a special limited edition pearl white paint with Celtic pink ribbons and custom 1 in 8 Motorsports billet wheels.
"We had been searching for three years for a partnership like this, and the people at Bourget have really stepped up," Vrana said. "We've already received over 30 inquiries from potential buyers interested in the bike. We're really looking forward to introducing this bike, not only to the domestic market but overseas as well."
When asked about the importance of this limited edition bike, Roger Bourget, President and CEO of Bourget's Bike Works, said, "On behalf of my wife Brigitte, and the entire Bourget's Bike Works family, I am thrilled to be associated with this organization to help promote breast cancer awareness to the motorcycle community. These 25 bikes are designed to make a statement on the road and hopefully for the lives of women around the world."
With a MSRP of $40,900.00, the 1 in 8 Motorsports Series will receive a portion of the sale price of each bike sold. For more information about 1 in 8 and how you can get involved, please contact Ken Vrana at kvrana@caitlinproductions.com or visit their website at www.1in8.org
BMC Choppers Chooses HackerPipes for its Exhaust NeedsBMC Choppers, a manufacturer of custom American-made V-Twins, has chosen HackerPipes exhaust systems to become a permanent fixture in their bike production process. While BMC builds most of their components-from frames to tanks-they have traditionally used Kerker exhaust systems. These systems have been frequently available and have served the company well. However, the old exhausts were an "off the shelf" unit that had to be slightly modified to fit, and the style did not work well with the aggressive appearance of the BMC Choppers. In addition, the Kerker pipes were far too loud for exportation into other countries-Canada in particular, which is one of BMC's main markets. By working with HackerPipes, BMC now has header systems that fit the bikes to a tee.
BMC now has options for ceramic finishes combined with chrome, and has different tips and heat shields to really make the pipes one-of-a-kind. The HackerPipes' exhaust also has a quiet option that allows the BMC Choppers to pass Customs inspections, which allows them to cross into other countries and markets. Dealers will have the option of installing racing mufflers to take the place of the quiet units so their BMCs perform and sound as good as they look.
