Custom E-Choppers

Step aside Orange County Choppers... Michael "Hollywood" Raines, out in Venice, California, of "the SHOP", is pulling in on his custom electric chopper... slick, powerfull, and burns no gasoline. Only burns rubber!(see video promo for "the SHOP" below)

It is editinh for this promo clip is slightly corny in parts and the bike could use a little styling detail to give it more competetive pizzazz to the bikes coming out of Orange County Choppers, but the concept of "the SHOP" and the electric bike do have alot of potential.

The bike can be spruced up and made to look alot more sexy. Perhaps it can have some chrome or bras finish lightning bolts. Perhaps a Jacob's ladder that can be fired up behind the driver that looks like a seat rest. Or perhaps a tesla coil up front tha looks like a headlight and an eyball, that doubles as a headlight. Probably add something that makes sparks fly out of the rear end, like an exhaust. This is a few ideas to start.

The script probably could be modified a little bit to slloe yhr story to flow more smoothly and maintain the interest of the viewer. But even without modifications, the story is interesting, especially for those into electric vehicles and bikes and has lots of potential as a subject for a TV show.

If anyone has more info on this show, let me know.

Thanks!

    A few years ago, it was difficult to find synthetic motor oils, and equally difficult to find someone who admitted to

    using them. Nowadays, however, you can find synthetic motor oils on the shelves of Wal-Mart, and other retailers, and the

    number of people turning to synthetic motor oils, particularly in light of the recent events affecting fuel prices, has

    risen greatly.

    So why do people use synthetic motor oils rather than sticking with the old petroleum based stand-bys which are

    admittedly cheaper?

    1. Let's start with the cost per quart issue. Synthetic motor oils ARE more expensive at purchase. However, these oils

    last longer, requiring fewer oil changes. As a synthetic motor oil outlasts several changes of petroleum based

    lubricants, the ultimate out-of-pocket cost of the lubricant is less. This cost savings becomes even greater if you have

    someone else change your oil for you rather than doing it yourself!
