Art Of The Chopper At The Clinton Library

You won't get too many chances to see an Oval Office replica and a motorcycle exhibit in the same place. The Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas currently offers both. The "Art of the Chopper" exhibit runs through February 8 and shows 30 examples of high-gloss drivable art from around the country. It may not be traditional presidential library fare but it Clinton center director Terri Garner says that the chopper "defines the end of the 20th century" in the same way Bill Clinton does.

The exhibit is inspired by Tom Zimberoff's photo books, Art of the Chopper and Art of the Chopper II, and portraits of the choppers' creators by Zimberoff are displayed with the bikes. The exhibit is included in the museum's regular admission price and tickets are seven dollars for adults.

Thunder Struck Custom Motorcycles

The name of the company is Thunder Struck Customs and I confess to being a little thunderstruck myself looking at them. These are sexy low-slung custom motorcycles. A recent article in Street Chopper magazine recounts the story of the custom bike above which is meant to resemble a Ferrari. It was built with a 147 cubic inch Engenuity engine, baker 6 speed transmission, custom sheet metal, Thunderstruck Hammer exhaust and Thunderstruck Ego tripp wheels. You can't have this beauty but there are a handful of one-of-a-kind choppers for sale on the Thunder Struck website. My favorite is the dangerous looking black bike known as Lethal, which is selling for $35,000.
