“Ripped“ was built by Hardcore Choppers of Sterling, VA for Jeff R of Fenton, MO. Jeff is stationed in Afghanistan fighting for our freedom. Jeff’s hard work paid off and it enabled him to commission Hardcore Choppers to build the chopper of his dreams.

The chopper is a 0 up, 6 back, Right side drive softail “Shank” model. It’s powered by a 125 cubic inch, 135 horsepower all polished and chrome motor that carries a 3 year industry leading warranty. The transmission is a hydraulic 6 speed unit. The primary is a 3 inch open belt drive with a hydraulic clutch for the extra horsepower. Final drive a 530 o-ring sealed chain.

The chopper rides on a massive 330 millimeter rear tire and a beefy 120 millimeter front tire. The front end is an all chrome Inverted unit made by American Suspension. The rear brake is a rotor caliper system made by Hardcore Choppers. Both the hand controls and the forward controls are all chrome to match the rest of the bike. All of the sheet metal work such as the gas tank and fenders were specially fabricated for the chopper . The paint is done in-house with a mind blowing shredded metal and living flesh wounds underneath to reveal the “ripped” effect. The beautiful seat is American Bison skin made by the motorcycle seat King himself….Mr. Johnie Longo. Last but not least are the Hardcore Chopper wheels to finish things up.

PS Charities’ OCC Raffle Chopper to be Displayed at Hardcore Choppers’ Sterling Facility, Raising Funds for Triple-Amputee MSgt Eden Pearl

As part of Professionals Supporting Charities’ ‘Building a House, Helping a Hero’ project, a custom-built OCC Chopper will be raffled off to aid in a disability-friendly housing project for the wounded veteran. Eden is said to be the most wounded man ever to survive in the history of the US Military.

Sterling, VA (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

Hardcore Choppers is always eager to support our troops, and in collaboration with Professionals Supporting Charities (PS Charities) are proud to announce that the Sterling, VA custom chopper manufacturing facility will be displaying a unique custom chopper to be raffled off in support of a wounded soldier.

On the morning of August 16, 2009; while on his fourth combat tour, conducting operations in the Herat Province of Afghanistan, Eden’s vehicle was struck by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). He was thrown nearly 30’ from the vehicle and his body became engulfed in flames. Eden suffered a traumatic brain injury and 3rd degree burns on over 90% of his body.

As a result of his injuries, Eden had both of his legs and one of his arms amputated. Some doctors and surgeons have said that Eden is the most wounded man ever to survive in the history of the United States Military.

In the wake of his injuries, Eden is now faced with a difficult road to recovery. After two years of hospital treatment, Eden, his wife, and their six year old daughter hope to settle down after years of moving in and out of apartments while seeking the required medical expertise that his injuries called for.

PS Charities realizes the unique circumstances that come along with Eden’s injuries, and has launched a fund-raising project to help build the family a disability-friendly home to accommodate these special needs – a home which would allow the family to return to life outside the walls of countless hospitals and physical therapy centers.

Hardcore Choppers is excited about this joint-effort with PS Charities, and looks forward to assisting in similar projects moving forward.
