Thanks to the generosity of Neil Mazzella and Hudson Scenic Studio, The ESTA Foundation will raffle the one of a kind ‘Broadway Chopper’ to raise funds for Behind the Scenes at LDI 2007. This award-winning show bike will capture the attention of everyone that sees it cruise by.
The Broadway Chopper is a custom street chopper built and painted by the talented craftspeople at Hudson Scenic. It comes equipped with a 1992 1200cc Harley Davidson engine and transmission. They are mounted on an Atlas rigid frame with matching gas and oil tanks. The custom wheels are from Performance Machine with an 18” wheel holding a180 Avon tire on the rear and a 21” wheel holding a matched Avon tire on the front. All the handle bar kits are from Arlen Ness. With the bike comes a complete bible itemizing every part used to assemble this bike.
Neil Mazzella, chief executive officer of Hudson Scenic, stated: "Hudson is proud to contribute this extraordinary motorcycle that was built by craftspeople that work behind the scenes. Now this bike will benefit those craftspeople that need the help of Behind the Scenes."
Tickets for the raffle will be available throughout the show at the Behind the Scenes booth and in the evenings at the ESTA Annual Dinner, the Rose Brand Party, and the special LDI Behind the Scenes benefit event on Saturday evening. LDI 2007 takes place from November 16-18 in Orlando, FL.
Behind the Scenes provides financial assistance to entertainment technology professionals who are seriously ill or injured. Funds may be used for medical expenses, funeral expenses, or basic living expenses such as mortgage, rent, utilities, food, transportation, and childcare. Funds are available to anyone who has worked at least five years full time in the entertainment technology industry—whether they're on the road or in a rental shop; they're a TD or the head of R&D; they work in a theatre or on a cruise ship.
Behind the Scenes is an initiative of The ESTA Foundation created so industry members could support each other in times of crisis.
