Redneck Engineering Choppers Reps Ride

May 30, 2012 Leave a comment

Redneck Choppers, you probably have heard of them or at least seen one of those choppers at a show.  They’re a brand known for his or her reasonable prices, duct-tape engineering and a whole with a heap of humor! This Chopper is owned by Mike Marquart of South Dakota as Reps Ride and is built using Redneck Engineering’s GettinHigh frame.
The famous or not so Famous GettinHigh Chopper from Redneck Engineering. THis GettinHigh frames are common frames for the past few years currently, they are cheap, sturdy and most importantly they give the impression of being dangerous as hell!

Reps Ride is built on a Standard Gettinhigh Frame with a forty eight degree Rake, eight? up and 5? out stretch. The Front Finish may be a Redneck Mid Duece (not positive if that is miscalculation or intentional) Front finish with ten over. The Handle Bars are Redneck Billy handle bars.
Reps Ride features a Redneck King gas tank, and a custom built Redneck fender on the rear. This is sitting on a Weld Smoothie 18?eight.5 rear wheel with a 250 tire and a CCI/West Coast 2?a pair of.5 front wheel. The wheels have HHI 4 back and front brakes for stopping power.

All of this hardware is powered by a one hundred Revtec motor with a Andrews EV38 Cam and for delivery Mikuni HSR 42 Carb. The power is hooked up to a Revtec half-dozen speed transmission with a BDL three in. primary. The exhaust is a Grumpys One Off.
The Flame and Silver Paint is done by Billy Hudson.

Mike’s Reps Ride is simply a classic trying chopper, it very demonstrates what can be done with the Redneck Engineering Frame. Its High, its long and its overall a nice looker!

David “Boomer” Wells’ Chopper

April 13, 2012 Leave a comment

The 1998 Yankees, Jeter was making a name for himself as a rookie shortstop, Jorge and Joe Girardi were catching, Tino Martinez was playing first base, Paul O’Neil was hitting hom runs, Joe Torre was manager and a crazy pitcher named David Wells was making Torre’s life miserable (he did things such as blast metal music in the locker room to annoy Torre, wore Babe Ruth’s hat on the field, showed up to practice drunk, showed up late, the list goes on and on)! In 1998 David “Boomer” Wells was a starter pitcher for the New York Yankees and he had the best season of his life! Pitched 18-4 record, had an ERA of 3.49 and pitched a Perfect Game “half drunk”.

What does this have to do with Choppers? Well other than the fact that todays Chopper is owned by the above mentioned former pitcher. Nothing! Boomer actually brought this chopper in 2003 in San Diego when he went to pitch for the San Diego Padres! I am just mentioning it since today is the New York Yankees Home Opener and I am a Yankee Fan.

So here is  Boomer’s Chopper:

It looks like David Wells got himself a nice gift for going to the Padres after the 2003 season. Boomer was known for his wild, rock n roll aggressive personality both on and off the mound and I think this chopper really represents that! Its big, full of dark detail and its probably loud but its still well done and has some class.
