00:00We are so back, baby!
00:07It's crazy to believe that we're about to start on the 5th Call Sam Chopper.
00:11That's five years of fun, but most importantly, five years of helping homeless veterans right here in Michigan.
00:17And you know, coming off the Lions bike last season, we knew we had to do something new and unique.
00:21Darren, you want to tell people what we're doing?
00:23Absolutely. This year's winner will have total say over the final paint job of the motorcycle.
00:28Whether you want a totally tubular two-tone or some classic pinstripes, maybe even my face.
00:34The decision is all yours.
00:36Let's see what we're working with to start off bike number five.
00:39We once again find ourselves at the corner of Nine Mile and De Quinder.
00:44With the mortar oil carpet rolled out, we check in with the boys of Bad Pig to see what's in store for bike number five.
00:52With handshakes and hellos out of the way, let's see what we're working with.
00:56This year we got a 14 Street Clyde. We're going to do a little performance upgrade to it.
01:02Make a run. Sound better. Perform better.
01:05What are you going to do with the engine? Anything?
01:08We're going to do a cam kit, oil pump, and cam plate upgrade with the new lifters and adjustable push rods.
01:15And then we're going to end up slapping a new exhaust on to go along with it.
01:20This year the emphasis will be put on performance.
01:24We want to make sure that whoever gets this bike will be ready to hit the road in style and cruise with power.
01:31Want to hear it? Yeah.
01:33Of course, we got to give her a few test revs.
01:43This 2014 Street Glide came to us as a blinged out beauty with red pinstripes and bold embellishments.
01:51This beast sure did stand out on the road.
01:55But it is time for an upgrade.
01:57And it is all about performance.
01:59The powers that be have settled in on adding new upgraded cam shafts, oil pump, and cam plate.
02:05Giving this pony some giddy up.
02:08In addition to the internal engine upgrades, this Street Glide is also getting some new pipes.
02:14So it can bark down the pavement.
02:18For the first time ever on the Call Sam Chopper Shop, we get to meet up with the seller.
02:23Who is hoping her bike can get a second chance on the road while helping veterans along the way.
02:31My name is Diana Moses.
02:33And I was in the process of trying to sell my bike.
02:37I can't tell you how exciting it is that my bike, like I just feel like so honored to be able to be a part of this.
02:47My son-in-law is in the military.
02:50And so even sharing with him what we were doing, he was really excited about it too.
02:57I was afraid of it.
02:58I ended up purchasing my motorcycle before I actually learned how to ride it.
03:02So it sat in the garage while I took my class.
03:05A lot of my friends would say, you know, aren't you afraid to ride?
03:08And I would say, no.
03:09Actually, I would describe it as, I wanted it more than I feared it.
03:17So how she got her name was on that big trip that we took and I went across the Mackinac Bridge.
03:22And I remember going over that bridge and that bridge is a long bridge.
03:25And once I got to the other side, I said, you know what?
03:28She just earned her name.
03:29Her name is called Courage.
03:31Because it took a lot, first for me to ride it in the first place.
03:35But after that one trip over the Mackinac Bridge, I actually had an opportunity to ride over it five more times.
03:41And I never feared bridges again.
03:43So she earned her name of Courage, which even makes it more special to me that this is going to be going on to our vets.
03:51Next time on the Call Sam Chopper Shop, it's time to hang up on this hotline bling.
03:58The team does a factory reset to get ready for the performance engine rebuild.
04:03I can see that this bike is once again in the very good hands of the Bad Pig team.
04:09No doubt about that.
04:10And as always, you can win by purchasing raffle tickets.
04:12All the proceeds, as always, support vets at Volunteers of America Michigan.
04:17They help homeless vets right here in Michigan by providing shelter, hot meals, and support services.

04:26Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time on the Call Sam Chopper Shop.
