chevysoldier Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Earlier today, a special Blue Jackets fan, who is also a member of the U.S. military currently stationed in North Carolina, made a special trip to Columbus to preview his completely refurbished, hand painted custom Blue Jackets Chopper. The original 2003 Vengeance Raider Chopper was completely rebuilt and redesigned with the help of several other U.S. servicemen who volunteered their time for the project. The Blue Jackets design elements are highlighted by the team’s primary and 10th season logos; a carburetor cover that is a custom carbon fiber air filter cover featuring an image of team mascot Stinger holding a 24-carat gold hockey stick; an engraved autograph by #71 Chris Clark on the primary inspection cover; and a pair of official Blue Jacket hockey pucks fabricated into rear view mirrors. Check out this custom Blue Jackets Chopper at CycleFest USA at the Ohio Expo Center this Saturday, Jan. 21 (10 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and Sunday, Jan. 22 (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) For more information about the show, visit www.cyclefestusa.com/columbus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
