Firehouse Racer By Hosier Daddy Choppers

4 Alarm Fire Ringing in Milwaukee

What this bike was built for other than showcasing Hoosier Daddy Choppers’ work was as simple as can be ─ winning shows.

Asked how the Firehouse Bobber idea came together, Jon Shipley, Owner of Hoosier Daddy Choppers said, “I wanted to use a fire extinguisher for the oil tank and that is where the Fire Bike idea originated from.”

So far the bike has proven itself with Bike of the Year at Easyriders in Columbus, first place in the over-1000cc class at the Rat’s Hole Show during the recent Daytona Bike Week and 1st Place in MOD Harley class at the Muskegon Bike Time Extreme Custom Bike Show.
