Hey Folks,
I have been the lucky one chosen to present the first ever lineman theme bike smilie_daumenpos[1].gif
Matt Demarchi of San Antonio Tx ( CPS Lineman and Bike Builder) and Jim Strickland of Fredricksbug TX (Bike Builder and very funny guy) biggrin.gif

These 2 guys are the ones responsible for bringing the taste of OCC to the lineman Industry. Both of these guys are very talented and as you can see spent a lot of time into this work of art. It is a chopper that will make every lineman proud


Here is a real special treat for the line Industry and fellow biker lineman.

The unveiling of the very first linework tribute bike ever.

This bike was built to give credit and appreciation where justly do.

Two men that know all about the intensity and danger involved in the linework industry,
Teamed up to bring you one of the most awesome theme bikes ever.

We have all seen theme bikes for all type industries but never one for the lineman.
This bike will give OCC a run for there talent So don't miss it!!!!

You will be shocked!!!!

Unveiling at the linemans aprreciation day in Kerville TX June 20th......

The unveiling was a great success and I have a ton of great photos to share with you all. So please be patient and I will size them down and get some of them posted. Here is just a few to get you started........

smilie_daumenpos[1].gif I like it! I like the paint. I am certified to do collision repair, so I get really into good airbrushing and paint. Thanks WP again!

thank you! you should definitely contact those ladies to model for the "chick" calender especially the one in the white wub.gif they don't make 'em like that in Cleveland, not that I've seen at least. I'll buy you a case if I ever meet you in person!

Just a tip or two for taking even better pic's: yes the girls are gorgeous but when the bike's got bits chopped off it doesn't make for a great pic. And if you want to take pic's of cars, trucks, bikes, babe's covered in baby oil, ect... with shiny surfaces invest in a polarizing filter for you're camera. (Photography's a hobby of mine.)

Sorry to inform you, But the International Linemans Museum unveiled a linemans chopper about ten or more years ago. I need to check my files, but I think I have a copy somewhere

Hey Steve,
I have spoken with Andy Price and yes there was another bike but it wasnt at all custom and was strictly a paint job.
I have seen pix of the bike and yes it looked good smilie_daumenpos[1].gif But the paint job was the only thing lineman about it.

Thanks for bringing that up thow. Also if you find a pix of it please let me know. I have been looking everywhere for it.

Thanks

Since some of you don't believe that there really is a bike in those pics with the girls, here are a few more pics that we took at the 2009 Texas Linemans Rodeo.

" You just remember this, I've got a really good friend in San Marcos, Texas who has a special bank account set up only for bail money for me. Now you may call the cops and have me arrested for whipping your ass, but know this, I will make bail and be out of jail that same day, and by 8 p.m., I will be drinking an ice cold Shiner beer while your having reconstructive surgery done to your mouth."
