Here are a few shots of the truly one of a kind bike created for the Discovery Channel’s #Bikerlive TV show. A gorgeous bike built with the help of family, friends, and our sponsors. Doing the TV show was an amazing experience. Thanks to everyone who pitched in.
Come join us Monday night as we watch the Porky’s episode of #BikerLive at the Villa Tavern at 6303 Rip Rap Rd, Huber Heights, OH 45424. If you would like to ride in with the Porky’s group, we will be meeting up at Sugar Mellon’s ( 330 East Dayton Drive, Fairborn, Ohio 45324) and riding out at 7:00. Come be part of the action as we face off two other builders to see who’s created the best bike. Make sure you have a twitter account so you can vote for #BikerLivePorkys

Andy McCaslin stopped building bikes professionally in 2007 when it began to diminish his enjoyment of the hobby he loved – motorcycles. Now, every bike built at Porky’s Choppers is built for him, his buddies and the occasional show. After one win in Daytona, Andy was offered $150,000.00 cash for his bike but he turned it down. Every single bike built at Porky’s is made completely from scratch, and he prides himself on fabricating frames from nothing. Other builders say he’s all washed up, but Andy doesn’t suffer fools and plans on proving that he’s still the best builder out there.

• Porky’s Choppers is based out of Andy’s 1800-square-foot barn next to his house
