Barber Vintage Festival

Birmingham, AL will be covered up in Vintage Motorcycle Awesomeness this weekend!  Looking forward to 2 wheeled Sensory Overload and catching up with friends.

Come visit us in the Swap Meet (N-22 and N-23) Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Dojo Party on Saturday night will be exciting I'm sure!

Project XC9erVG: Getting Close

Ross and I have been working on a foot rest design utilizing the Biltwell, Inc. clevis.  We have dubbed this project: XC9erVG which means absolutely nothing.  This first pre-production prototype set will be going on my Sportster for testing but we will also offer a set to fit modern Triumph motorcycles. 

The rests are machined out of 6061 aluminum and will have a few varieties of grip surfaces on the top.

The Biltwell clevis allows for unlimited mounting positions (helping to eliminate foot "hot spots") and we think they will look good on a wide variety of motorcycle styles.

Pricing will land around $100 shipped per pair.

Come visit our Swap Meet booth at the Barber Vintage Festival next week, October 11-13 and take a look at what we have in the works.

  

Muchas Gracias

The F'n Catalina Wine Mixer! Pow!

I want to thank all of the awesome companies/people that donated raffle items - Biltwell Inc, Lowbrow Customs, Chop Cult, Steve the Machinist, Cone Engineering, Violent Choppers, Lady Hump, Rick's Cycle Parts, The Speed Merchant, Chassis Design Company, Indian Larry Motorcycles, Red Bull, Sunny Delight, Twisted Tea, Sam Adams and Miller Brewing Company!

Big thanks to my partner in crime, Big Boss Ross Lenoir and his better half Lauren for keeping me on track and lending a logistical hand.

Here are just a few shots and IG has a ton more. Keep your eyes out for a full recap in Cycle Source Magazine in the coming months.

Hope everyone got home safely and we will see you all soon!

The Catalina Wine Mixer - Details

Here is the rundown on the "event".  Again, I use the word "event" loosely because this is not your typical HOG parking lot hot dog supper.

Here are some answers to a few questions that have popped up:

Camping is Saturday night only - (Remember that this is private land and be respectful i.e. don't burn it to the ground!) - NO PETS

BYOEverything - Firewood/Firepits/Port-o-let will be provided.  EVERYTHING else is on you.  There are plenty of restaurants in Winfield a few miles away.  Each group will be given some trash bags.  "Leave it like you found it".

Donated Raffle Items - We will raffle off the donated items at sunset.  You must have made a donation to receive a raffle ticket.  $5.00/bike and $10/car with all proceeds benefiting The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.

No bike show = no bullshit - We all are "like minded motorcycle enthusiasts".  If you are looking for a trophy then you are in the wrong place.  There will be a few surprises at the event but again, if you are looking for an "appearance fee" for bringing your sick bobber to a campout, then this is NOT the place for you.
  

To quote my buddy Walt, "Douchebaggery will not be tolerated".  Pretty simple.
