Born-Free the aftermath

Thanks to everyone and we mean everyone that made the show a huge success!
Here's a little treat from Scott Pommeir from the show. He set up a make shift photo studio in the shop and lined up some bikes to shoot. A full report is yet to come.

downed sister

tommorrow is the big show, and besides the big award honoring one of our best friends, we have a sister of the highway in need, please help if you can and grab some jam at the show too.

Laura Ann Masura is a founding member of the Glitter Kitties M.C. She isknown for her unique process of what she calls "two-wheel jamming" = Sheseeks out organic farms and orchards around California and plans acircuitous route there and back. She then hops on her motorcycle, snappingpics and sometimes video of her trips as she visits her choice destinations.

Once she is at a farm, she selects the best fruit she can and packs hersaddlebags with as much as they'll hold. When she gets home, she turns herhaul into jars of limited edition, "custom-built" Laura Ann's Jam.

On 9/9/09, while on her way to a strawberry farm in Irvine, Laura was hit bya car on PCH. She suffered multiple injuries including a devastatingnear-amputation of her left ankle. She remains hospitalized since theaccident and will require multiple surgeries to rebuild her foot (includinga cow-tendon transplant!). Laura Ann's out-of-pocket medical expenses are expected to exceed $25,000,so please consider picking up a jar of jam for a good cause!

if i had a side valve Harley...

I'd be hard pressed not to build it like this!

purdy

Good friend Dominic has been showing me the ropes of rebuilding 4 speeds, almost done. It's going in the 5th version of my shovel.

Too close for comfort

I always wondered about these two shovels...So many similarities between Big Armon's (RIP)bike and this other one...maybe the little guy got it after Armon was killed? Dunno, but two Speedy SHifts, 19s in the back, real similar paint and stripping, different sissy bars, fenders, and springers, but...

Burt

Miss Becky and her newly painted picture of who else...

Zingers

MANNstyle

I have (ALL GONE!) New Old Stock Frisco Choppers Swazie T's left. Two sided with the bridge logo on the back. Both are XL but fit like a LARGE. I have dated these back to at least 1985. These are my last ones out of the 12 I had, they aren't growing on trees and we certainly aren't making them. SOLD OUT, FOREVER!





Next are my last two New Old Stock Frisco Choppers shirt with the big FRISCO script on the front. One shirt is black with white letters and the other is black with red letters. Both are two sided with the bridge logo on the back. Both are XL, but fit like a large. The one with red ink seems like it might be a little short, so be warned, not sure why. $60 each

wighat in the breeze

Zac from HEAVY just strapped his new FMA hat to the handle bars of his shovel and he an The Nutz rode about 800 miles to davenport and back. Sweet.
