Bomshel’s Charity Chopper Now Available At CMTAuctions.com

Bidding has begun at www.CMTAuctions.com for Bomshel’s "Wicked Women Of Tequila Rose" Chopper. The custom built motorcycle was commissioned by McCormick Distilling’s Tequila Rose Brand and has been on display at Bomshel tour stops since September. The bike, built by Wicked Women Choppers, dons the signatures of over 50 of today’s hottest country music stars. Bomshel will announce the winner on March 24 during their show in Grand Rapids, MI. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.

While on display at the 38th annual Country Radio Seminar held in Nashville, TN last week, many of country music’s top artists took time to sign the motorcycle. Big & Rich, Carrie Underwood, Clint Black, Gretchen Wilson, Jeff Cook of Alabama, John Anderson, Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd, LeAnn Rimes, Little Big Town, Sugarland and even Little Richard were among the nearly 50 entertainers to autograph the chopper.

"It was unbelievable to have so many artists sign the bike!" says Bomshel’s Kristy O. "We’re so grateful that they took the time to add their names to such a worthy cause as the Karmanos Institute."
