AEROSMITH Frontman To Help Auction Motorcycles For Charity

April 5, 2005

The Associated Press is reporting that AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler will help auction two custom-made motorcycles, with proceeds going to the families of troops who have been seriously wounded or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The auction will be conducted by Guernsey's auction house May 6 at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Proceeds will be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and the Fisher House Foundation.

"I guess it's just something that I wanted to do because I see all these young guys missing limbs, head damage and that kind of thing, and we're in a position where we can help out different organizations and people," said Paul Teutul Sr., whose Orange County Choppers shop is featured on the Discovery Channel's "American Chopper".

Built from scratch, the motorcycles are proclaimed "truly customized to some of the baddest steel that's ever roared down the road on two wheels." Teutul expects the bikes and other items to raise a "substantial amount of money" for the families.

NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno and pro golfer Davis Love III will also participate, Teutul said.

Construction of the two bikes will be shown in upcoming episodes of "American Chopper", now in its second season.
