Lineman Forum: First ever Lineman Chopper - Lineman Forum

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

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........

Here is a few more at the unveiling

Sorry folks that they are not all in order but if you know me your not surprised

Here is some pix of Matt giving a speech about the Bike also in the pix is Jim, Matts son and Gary Sedlacek.

SWEEEET RIDE!!!

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!

That gas tank is something else! Nice bike. Thanks for the pix WP. Couldn't you get someone to take a picture of you on it? Did you get to take it for a spin? I guess you haven't had time to post those yet.

ewww that tank is awful but that picture of the chicks on the bike better wind up on the "lady's" calender for next year

wow thats a nice looking bike but i do have to say that tank is "unique" . the paint is awesome and i like the transformer air intake is a nice touch. That tank is just a hard thing to overlook.

that is a bads$$ bike i wish i could have made it but my wife was in the hospital with her tounge sweeling and we dont know what is cause it but we are trying to find out i would love to see it up close to see the details it looks alsom

As Promised folks here are some more pix of this awesome machine
I personally love the Tank but I have always been a lil

Next pics I post will be with some ladies so all of you lil boys better stay out
J/K

OK guys here is just a few more with the girls in it

You can thank me with Buzz payable at any lineman event you catch me at

WP

thank you! you should definitely contact those ladies to model for the "chick" calender especially the one in the white 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 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
WP

You mean there were bikes in those last pics posted? I want one of those!!!

I didn't notice that the gas tank was lighting bolt shaped.

I didn't know "bits" of the bike were chopped off either.
Sorry Trh87, I couldnt resist. D

Bump

good point D, good point

It was years ago and I think I even posted the link. This doesn't matter either way. I just remember seeing it. Thing is any birthday went by and my mine is melting.

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.
