But will it fly? 3/30/2005 - TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Col. Brian Dickerson sits astride the Air Force Chopper. The motorcycle made its Air Force debut here recently. The 10-foot-long bike was modeled after the F/A-22 Raptor, complete with Air Force symbol rims, riveted gas tank, Raptor exhausts and rear view mirrors in the shape of jets. It will be used at recruiting venues to draw awareness to special events displays and aid in recruiting efforts, said Air Force Recruiting Service officials at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas. Colonel Dickerson is vice commander of the 325th Fighter Wing here. The motorcycle was built by Orange County Choppers Inc., in Rock Tavern, N.Y.

OCC is a great show! I still prefer my 4 Wheeled toys, but that chopper really does look good! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> "Courage is knowing what not to fear." ~Plato~ |

I love that show too. My dad and me have the exact same relationship as Pauly and his pop. Gas and matches.

The Fire Bike that they did for the NY FireFighters at 9/11 was my favorite. The choppers they build are like works of art. I've never ridden on a chopper (but have been on the back of a Harley many times) but in my opinion....they just don't look comfortable to ride on. "Courage is knowing what not to fear." ~Plato~ |

Nice to see they paid homage to the Hawg on that ride...the 30MM hanging under the fuel tank. Very cool bike. "Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together...." - Carl Zwanzig |

Actually the New Cannons are 25MM (JSF/RAPTOR) "The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see their near and dear bathed in tears, to ride their horses and sleep on the white bellies of their wives and daughters." -Genghis Khan |

You were right 30mm, that is a 30mm under the tank. "face it....perhaps your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others!" |

They should've made the headlight look like the muzzle of a rotary cannon...but beyond that the bike rocks.
