Dirico Motorcycles And AEROSMITH Hit The Lottery
February 16, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Bryan Harley from Motorcycle-usa.com, New Hampshire-based Dirico Motorcycles has been contracted by GTECH to build three of its Pro-Street motorcycles with an AEROSMITH 'Dream On' theme for the Ohio Lottery who has an Aerosmith promotion in the works. The motorcycles will be decked out with the Aerosmith logo and each of the band’s signatures to add to its collectible motorcycle status.
Dirico’s Pro-Street muscle cruiser is powered by a Screamin’ Eagle 103 cubic-inch Twin Cam B engine mated to a Baker RSD 6-speed transmission. The frame is a custom design from the mind of Dirico’s co-owner and chief engineer, Mark Dirico and is hand-built for them by Rowe Machine. A 21-inch tall custom billet wheel leads the way while a 240mm Metzeler keeps the rubber side down on the rear.
Getting Aerosmith onboard for the promotion was easy. Dirico Motorcycles happens to be partly owned by none other than Steven Tyler, the Aerosmith frontman himself. Tyler started up the venture a couple of years ago along with longtime friends Dirico and Stephen Talarico.
