Spirit of Liberty Chopper Thunders into Speers

The Spirit of Liberty was the star at the Palms Yacht Club’s RiverFest in Speers, Pennsylvania. With the event held over Fourth of July Weekend, it was the perfect time to celebrate the bike’s message of freedom and its creation from actual materials gathered from the Statue of Liberty during its renovation.

The article quotes bike originator Richard Stocks as saying, “We’ve had offers of up to $1 million for the bike, but you really can’t put a price tag on her. There’s just too much symbolism of freedom and the American way of life represented here. It’s really more than just a motorcycle.”

Christa Statler, a visitor at the event, called the bike “part of our nation’s history on wheels” and added, “Just sitting here makes you feel as though you’re transcending time.”
