So Jeff posted this over on the Cult, and I just wanted to pass this along for everyone. One, because it's a damn good cause, and two, because the shirt design is just so damn cool. They are selling these shirts to raise some money for his son's therapy and adaptive equipment. Noah has cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus, causing him to be wheelchair bound majority of the time and legally blind. He appears to still try his best to be a active kid, but requires some special gear to do so. So help a  brother out, and order one of these shirts (since you still haven't ordered one of ours, hint hint). The design is cool, and it goes to a righteous cause. Best of luck in raising a ton of money, and I hope you get some killer new equipment to tear up the streets with Noah!!!
Please note this a pre-order sale. Meaning they are only printing what they sale,so get in on it now, they are going to have them printed soon! Jeff asks that you please include your size and address on the paypal, and the shirts are $20 each, but please feel free to give more if you are so inclined.  All profits go right to Noah, and his therapy and equipment.

Keep fightin the good fight Noah, best of luck from all of us at 2 Wheel Fiends! FTW! (Forever three wheels for Noah tearing it up on his trike, ha ha)

As mentioned we are trying to turn around this little ol blog. Just wanted to say thank you to those of you who have been hangin around waitin on us to do something with it.

Picked this thing up from Dan at Old Gold for my Ironhead build. It just doesn't quite flow with the direction I am heading so I am offering it up for sale. Fit's CV carbs and mounts vertically or horizontally, comes with all hardware including a one time use locktite, and gasket for the carb side. Only mocked up, no scratches. He sells them for $80 plus shipping, and I'll do it for $75 shipped, or a little sweeter if your in the Twin Cities area and want to grab it in person. Email me at twowheelfiends@gmail.com

Summer of '99, in my crotch rocket days, a whole group from Tucson rode to PIR for the day to watch the races. I was a whopping 18 years old on my new (new to me anyhow) 96' CBR600F3 in Smokin Joe's purple and yellow, still knew everything, and this was my first ride out of town. My big brothers best friend took me under his wing for the trip, and also scored me a pit pass so we could roam the pits together. It was a day I will never forget. My first time riding in a large pack for a distance further than 30 miles. I think I only had my bike about 2 months at that time. Chad, my brothers friend, and I were just walking up to the Team Muzzy pits, when Aaron Yates comes pulling in, hands off his bike to a tech, and walks around the back of the trailer to the loading door, outside of the barrier ropes that keep us out the tech's area. Chad hands me his helmet, grabs us a both a poster and runs around the back of the Muzzy truck before anyone can stop him and asks Aaron to sign them for us. Aaron peaks around the back of the truck to see me standing there holding our helmets, and flags me over. He was stoked we rode there for the races, offered us both a bottle of water, signed our posters, and gave us a tour of the team trailer and his pit area. Aaron was a hell of a nice guy, and to this day, the autographed poster still hangs right above my tool box in the garage. It was a day I will never forget.

In case you've been living under a rock, this is Kevin "Teach" Bass. He runs an amazing program here in the Twin Cities area (my new home). He actually resurrected shop programs in his school with Chopper Class. What started off as a after school "club" style activity grew to a full accredited class in his school. And it is entirely supported by donations from people like you and me, and from big time sponsors in the industry. If you follow Teach at all, the one thing that you will always hear is, "it's for the kids." This is his number one reason for doing this, day in and day out. He truly loves the kids, and this little slice of the world us moto-enthusiasts call home. He has been invited as a builder for Born Free 5, and will be bringing his project into the classroom, so the kids can help build it. This literally means, that a group of high school kids, get to compete on the same stage as the foremost builders in the country. What an amazing opportunity, for a truly worthwhile group. Could you imagine being in high school and getting to place your build against the likes of Crow Customs, Love Cycles, 4Q, and all the other superstars who have been invited to compete. I have seen some amazing builds come out of Teach's classroom, and can't wait to see what Teach and the kids come up with. Check out the program's facebook page here, and follow them. They could always use more support, and hold some cool fundraisers throughout the year, so show em some love. Go Teach, and Kennedy Chopper Class, best of luck guys!

Dodge City,1920. From left to right are Bill Ottoway, Maldwyn Jones, Ralph Hepburn, Fred Ludlow, Otto Walker, Ray Weishaar, Jim Davis and the guy on the right is mechanic Hank Syvertstein. This was Harley's untouchable race team in the teens and 20's. They held more records than any other team, and won more races than any other team, including almost sweeping this race at Dodge City 5 years prior in 1915, losing only 3rd place to another team, Harley team riders placed 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th. This was the elite team at the head of the Harley/Indian rivalry.

John Harman Products catalog. Some cool Harman history, laid out really well, can be found here. The guy who put this together really put some effort into it, did a ton of research, and did justice to Mr. Harman's legacy.
