Copper Chopper

Fayetteville,Ark----
‘‘The ''Copper Chopper’’ is back home after being mistaken for
trash, according to an article by AP.

The motorcycle, innovatively contructed by workers at a Cabot heating
and air company, was reported stolen from the ''Bikes, Blues & BarBQ
festival in Fayetteville this past weekend of Oct. 12thru14th.

Company employees built the motorcycle with copper tubing, tubing
insulation, a refrigerant drum, a blower motor,refrigerant gauges, nut
drivers, squirrel cage blower housings, and of course, some sheet metal.

The Copper Chopper Bike was accidently picked up by the trash folks,
apparantly when it was close to a trash bin area by a lot of other
stuff, for a brief time, said a company spokesman. It is unclear of how
and what happened, she continued.

Earlier, the hand made Copper motorcycle had won the most creatively
built Bike at the Bike contest event at the festival, said the company
people.

''We put out the word and offered a 200 reward, and within hours it was,
returned. I am glad they took it by accident and returned it because
it was cool, rather than keep it for the value of the copper, with so
much copper theft going on these days.''-said the Company spokes lady.!
