Ronnie Coleman, one of the greatest bodybuilders ever, believes in giving his heart and soul to live in his dreams. He won the coveted title of Mr. Olympia 8 times in a row. If there’s one thing that drives him, it is the zeal to become the best at what he does, and to possess unique things. That being said, like other athletes, Coleman has something amazing in his collections that, though now worth $115,000 was bought at half that price.
The King recently shared a video where he detailed every nook and cranny of his customized American Chopper. Moreover, he talked about how passionate he was when he bought it.

In a recent video from his official YouTube channel, the former Mr. O showed his custom-made bike that he bought a few years back. The video started on a funny note, where Coleman’s face was pasted on some biker while he was showing off his skills. This was followed by some snaps of the bodybuilder with his friends.
Then The King showed his Orange County Chopper which had a bright blue color, coordinated with a silver shade. The legend then described the massive bike saying, “So, they had different types of bike that you could select from the catalog, and I selected the spider, this is spider collection bike…I went with blue and silver, those are my favorite color in the whole world, so I had them painted in blue and silver.” He further revealed how the chopper has “Ronnie Coleman, 8 Time Mr. Olympia” written on it.
Evidently, he bought it for $65,000 in 2009 and now its worth has reached a whopping $115,000. There are ample customizations that the IFBB pro made. He added some loud DND pipes and attached some vibrant blue lights that put a light show, while he enjoys the ride. Of course, the legend is very passionate about his toy. However, Coleman is not the only athlete with a penchant for new wheels.
Michael Phelps possessed the same passion
Just before becoming a pro swimmer, Michael Phelps was an ardent car lover and bought his first car – Cadillac Escalade. After getting his share from his deal with Speedo, Phelps invested it in his passion. He was so passionate about it that he even made a deal with his mother that if he could break records, he would have the permission to customize his car.
