A cool press release...
Flex Wheeler, world champion bodybuilder and, has teamed up with Coast 2 Coast Choppers of Orlando, Florida to design and build the “Flex Wheeler Chopper” or FWC, a new series of custom motorcycles to bring the same show-quality muscle to the bike world. Two styles of bike will be offered: the Signature Series and the Pro Series. The Signature Series will be a high-end custom bike with sleek hand-fabricated metal work. This bike will also offer the best components on the market, such as: a Patrick Racing 128” billet motor, Baker six-speed, Billet 4-U 4” chromed belt drive, a monster 330 rear tire and much more. The Pro Series will be a more affordable model still using top-notch components.
Flex’s lifetime passion for riding brought him to several bike shows at the beginning of 2005 where he started exploring the idea of a custom bike that was an affordable, top-of-the-line bike that aspires to be a show bike but rides like a street bike. The idea generated a lot of interest among the bike enthusiasts that Flex spoke to, from the hardcore bikers, to law enforcement officers, to weekend warriors.
Flex considered several different cycle designers, both large and small, before selecting Coast 2 Coast Choppers. When asked why Coast 2 Coast was his choice for this venture, Flex replied “I met with a rep of Coast 2 Coast at a major bodybuilding event in early 2005. I was very impressed with the sexy lines and muscular stance of their bikes and also their level of professionalism. The decision for me to team up with them was a no-brainer.”
Coast 2 Coast is a hungry young company that has won several shows and gained a lot of respect in the industry over the last two years. The company motto is “More for Less”. They saw Flex’s vision of the FWC as a quality custom bike that is affordable to anyone from a cop to the high-end, but is very street worthy. Jeremy Rogers, President of Coast 2 Coast Choppers, states “We are very excited to be involved with such a huge superstar and look forward to a very bright future with Flex.” Flex Wheeler’s worldwide notoriety brings a great growth opportunity to this partnership and a chance to share his passion for motorcycles with a global audience.
Both the FWC Signature Series and the Pro Series bikes will be unveiled for the first time at the Road to the Pros booth at the 2006 Arnold Classic and Fitness Weekend in Columbus, OH, March 3-5, 2006
