Introducing the new Breed from Australia – SnakeCharmer Motocycle legend from down under, coiled and waiting to strike US market When executives at Xbox needed wildly imaginative theme bikes to promote their video games Gears of War, Grand Theft Auto, and Halo, there was only one call to make -- SnakeCharmer Choppers in Sydney, Australia. Featured in the pages of 14 magazines and on the covers of four, unmatched, out-of-this-world creativity and jaw-dropping detail comes easy for the man known only as SnakeCharmer. That’s because motorcycles run in his blood. Raised in the small country town of Bathhurst, Australia, surrounded by venomous snakes, and adoring girls, he received his first motorcycle at an age when other boys were pedaling their first bicycle. In and out of trouble most of his life, the years that SnakeCharmer spent in prison and as a member of one of Australia’s baddest motorcycle gangs helped fuel his creative flames. Take the “Blade,” for example, an edgy, lighter than air chopper inspired by the blade that nearly took his life in prison. Featured on the cover of the January, 20007 issue of Live To Ride magazine, the Blade has garnered numerous awards including Best Custom Chopper and Best Custom American Paint Airbrush. SnakeCharmer’s second bike, Wet and Wild, boasting stunning photo-realistic water droplets, crafted with a secret technique known to only a few, snared Best Chopper and Best Paint awards at the prestigious Auto Salon in 2007. But it’s SnakeCharmer’s legendary ‘Indigenous Dreamtime’ chopper that has made him an international player. His Mad-Max-meets-the-underworld design “...represents Australia’s rich culture,” he says, pointing out a snake’s head gas tank and an exhaust styled after the aboriginal wind instrument, the didgeridoo. The exquisitely detailed, multi-colored headlight “...symbolizes the different colours of the human race,” smiles the SnakeCharmer. There is a boomerang for the handlebars, and an airbrushed child’s hand on the back guard to call for “...hope and unity for future generations.” “The spears and the warrior shield represent honour, protection, struggle and survival here in Australia,” he adds. Featuring hand-painted aboriginal art by famous aboriginal artist Richard Campbell, the bike’s custom painted wood grain is so realistic admirers lean in to look for termites. Explore the two-wheeled world in the land down under by logging on to SnakeCharmerChoppers. Accessories, merchandise, and orders for custom bikes, hand-crafted by SnakeCharmer are happily accepted.
