The Broadway Chopper was the grand prize in a $50,000 charity raffle held by the ESTA Foundation in 2007 to benefit theatre's 'Behind The Scenes' workers who become injured on the job. There were actually over $80,000 in tickets available for sale.

The Broadway Chopper is so-named because it is a show bike that was made to be used--and was used--in Broadway Theater Shows. It was built to the specifications of the Hudson Scenic Design Studio. Needless to say, it was not built by Harley-Davidson but has a Harley-Davidson engine. It runs well and looks even better!

"Because this year's bike is so special, The ESTA Foundation wanted everyone to have a chance to participate in the raffle, including those unable to attend LDI 2007. ...Raffle tickets also include the chance to win the second place prize of a $2,500 VISA gift card or the third place prize of a $1,000 VISA gift card."

This collectible motorcycle has not been painted, touched up, or altered in any way since it was received by the Grand Prize Winner (that would be me!). For verification, one of the announcements about the winners can be found here (or Google my name and The Broadway Chopper to find more):

The Broadway Chopper has spent most of its life in temperature-controlled vehicle storage. I have been unable to ride so it has been properly stored. It recently received maintenance from Badger (formerly Capitol) Harley Davidson, an authorized Harley Davidson Dealer in Madison Wisconsin so it is ready to ride again. 

This completely chromed-out hard-tail custom-built motorcycle features a 1997 Atlas "The Coyote" rigid frame 1A9HS74A2VA329152 (was new with papers when built) made by Atlas Precision/Pro Magnum and a Harley Davidson engine 1HD1CAP10NY122039 of 1992 vintage. (FYI Atlas updated their manufacturing process for producing this frame with the latest technology in 1996, built to the same specs as the original Atlas Coyote frame). 

There is no odometer but it has had VERY little use during the time that I have owned it as I have been unable to ride.

The bike features a beautiful and subtle two-toned red checkered flag paint job (difficult to appreciate from photos) plus $2000 (cost) worth of murals painted on it such as chains that appear to bust through the side of the gas tank, Janus (aka Happy and Sad / Comedie Tragedie / Shakespearean / Greek) masks on the side, Harley Davidson logo, etc. 

"The traditional "Comedy Tragedy" masks are used now as a universal symbol for drama, and also represent the two sides of Dionysus, as well as the two effects of wine: joyous, Bacchic revelry, and a dark, sorrowful harvest."--angelfire

"The custom wheels are from Performance Machine, with an 18" wheel holding a 180 Avon tire on the rear and a 21" wheel holding a matched Avon tire on the front. All the handle bar kits are from Arlen Ness. With the bike comes a complete bible itemizing every part used in its assembly"

I have paperwork for all of this in a binder that came with The Broadway Chopper. No changes have been made to the motorcycle since I won it, so this is all current info. I also have the original Raffle ticket. Needless to say, it has a clear title. All of this will be included.

I am moving across the country and I need to sell off excess items such as this bike. This is your chance to own a beautiful and collectible Custom Harley-Davidson Chopper that was the grand prize in a $50,000 raffle--and you can own it at a substantial discount!! Click 'Buy It Now' for a great price, or take your chances at auction and hope that it won't be bid up even higher!

Ariel Chopper on eBay

Mon, 24 Nov 2008

Normally when I think of a custom chopper, I envision something like Wyatt’s Captain America bike or even retro re-creations like the Harley Davidson Cross Bones. After all the act of chopping normally referred to forks and frames, not chopping wood. A unique ride recently added to eBay breaks from this tradition with a wooden hot rod built around the engine and transmission from a 1952 Ariel Square 4 motorcycle.
