What happens when the builders of the world's fastest lawn mower meet the creators of the world's most unique motorcycles?

The result is the Dixie Chopper Bike -- a unique custom motorcycle that has been a hit at industry shows and at dealership open houses since it was built unveiled in May 2004.

The Dixie Bike is no ordinary motorcycle, but one of an elite few built by the ingenious yet delightfully dysfunctional Teutul family of Orange County Choppers fame. It features components of the world's fastest lawn mower fabricated into one of the world's coolest motorcycles.

It is the only bike OCC has ever made with dual chrome spinners on its front and rear wheels. And here's the kicker: Those spinners look just like lawn mower blades.

The engine is actually a 32-horsepower, air-cooled production variety that is used every day at the Dixie Chopper assembly plant in Greencastle, Ind. The carburetor, however, has been bored out to create a 90-horsepower motorcycle engine.

Millions have watched as the bike was conceived, assembled and unveiled in a two-part episode of "American Chopper" that has been rerun dozens of times since its initial national TV exposure.

Dixie Chopper Vice President Jeff Haltom said building the bike was all about product awareness and helping drive more customers into Dixie Chopper dealerships nationwide.

"We want everybody to sit on a Dixie Chopper before they buy a lawn mower," he said. "We feel that if they sit on ours, they won�t buy anything else. We build -- hands down -- the best and baddest lawn mower in the industry."

"World's fastest lawn mower" is more than a slogan for Dixie Chopper. Some of the Indiana company's mowers can run at 15 mph without sacrificing quality of cut. A Dixie Chopper can cut a football field in less than 10 minutes. Faster mowing, of course, translates into more leisure time for consumers and savings in time and money for commercial cutters.
