HOT WHEELS CHOPPER

     Hot Wheels had an amazing time at Thunder on the Strip 2025 in Geneva-on-the-Lake!! Bike Week 2024 was uneventful, there was even a little snow on the ground, and the Bike Show was cancelled, or so we thought. 2025 showed up BIG TIME! Hot Wheels entered in the "Reasons to Ride" bike show, and was an absolute head turner!       Hot Wheels has a special ability to appeal to everyone in a crowd- from moms and kids and grandparents to even the most hardcore bikers! Sometimes, life doesn't need to be so serious. Evidently, the judges agreed! Hot Wheels took home the prize! This could not have been a better weekend for Hot Wheels, even though we forgot the final coat of turtle wax before the show! Oops!     Special thanks to  Reasons To Ride for putting on this incredible show! Be sure to check out their page to see if there are any upcoming shows near you!

       Hot Wheels' original seat was designed so that all types of riders can use the bike. However, that isn't the most comfortable option for people who are proportional to the bike. The new seat much more closely resembles a typical seat for a cruiser or chopper motorcycle.       After much careful measuring, planning, and shopping for the best option for the seat, it was time to make a move and remove!      And now, the big reveal!       It's much better than the old one! This seat was done over a longer period of time than typical projects for this bike, so the photos are not as in-depth as is typical of this blog. Apologies!
