Peter (Goose) Kies our Chief Pilot doesnt only have a passion for choppers that fly…
Before helicopters, in his spare time away from the family vineyard, Goose used to build motor bikes in his parents back shed WAY back in the 70′s!!
One of the bikes built by Goose in his parents shed!
With this in mind, the years went by and he went on to fly helicopters but the love of bikes was still there, just on the back burner for a few years!!
His last bike, a soft tail Harley, was sold in the early 90′s to fund spare parts in the Bell 47J2A helicopter!!
Since then he has been bugging his wife Sandra to let him have another bike, but this time it had to be a Custom Chopper.
He couldnt find exactly what he liked “off the shelf”, so he did some research and stumbled across motor cycle building legend Bill Holland, who owns Executive Choppers in Roseville, California, USA!!

So… the life of the bike started in October 2010 and is almost finished.
This is where YOU come in:
We need help with the paint scheme for the bike…
