No Good Deed Goes Unrewarded Contest! <br />
A Vanson / Kickstart Leather Revolver Vest.<br />
A Biltwell Gen 2 Helmet and Mako Tail Light!<br />
A $150.00 Gift certificate from S&S Cycle<br />
A Hi Bond Modified Kick Pedal<br />
Speed Bars and Pegs from The Speed Merchant!<br />
A bunch of T-Shirts & Stickers<br />
and... something else!<br />
That is OVER $1000.00 worth of stuff!<br />
<br />
Now I know you don't need an incentive to do something nice, that would defeat the entire purpose, now wouldn't it. Think of this as a tangible reward for getting in the ring.<br />
All you have to do is email your pictures, a short story and your contact info to info@kickstartcycle. Everything counts, if you have been volunteering in already or are just finding the time now. The Contest will be open till NEW YEARS EVE 2012 We will pick a name out of the hat on NEW YEARS DAY. <br />

It is un touched in all its 70s glory. It runs perfect, I'll send a video of it running. It starts first few kicks. The clutch drags just a bit, probably time for new clutch plates. Super easy standard maintenance. Everything is in great shape. It's a magneto bike so there is no battery. Ignition and light switches are hidden under the seat. I don't think there is a single tear in the seat. Nice chrome on the springer with a 17" mini drum brake wheel out front. The bike rides great and is a lot of fun. Clear title. Matching belly numbers, titled as a 69 Harley Davidson. No repairs on the cases. I wish I could keep it but I need to fund my born free 5 build. Email pinheaddrums@yahoo.com<br />

Dave built the pan for the seat and we sent it down to them to get covered and holy fuckin balls it came back even better than i expected. They totally crushed it so the whole point of this post is, thanks guys!!!! and if you or anyone you know needs a seat done, these are the guys to do it. Thanks again, the seat is perfect!!<br />

I heard a bunch of voices and saw what seemed to be a bunch of flashlights. I walked over to see a gang of dudes with headlamps checking out Jeff's bike. Then in the background I hear "Oh no way maan. It's a wiizzzard (refering to Jeff's highway bar with wizard heads on either side)." </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />At our first gas stop Josh and Patty had stopped right before the turn into the gas station. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were all laughing because Josh kept running out of gas less than a mile from each gas station and this was the closest yet. I saw Jeff run up to investigate and start rolling the bike toward the gas station. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Turns out the oil cap had flown off of Josh's bike and covered the bike ( and Patty) in oil.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to find something to plug the oil tank whether it was getting loaded onto Adam's truck or it was getting back on the road.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After several of us went in seperately looking for something that might work to plug the tank to no avail, Jeff came out with something in his hand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well.... it wasn't just "something". It was a replacement oil cap, exactly the right size and we were all idiots.</div>

I haven't been able to take a single picture of this machine that gives you the same feeling you get when you see it in person...<br />
<br />
Anyway, Dave & Justin worked their asses off to get the bike done for the show and did an incredible job. After they finished we packed up and headed out west to Joshua Tree to shoot the bike for a magazine feature. There couldn't have been a more amazing place to shoot this bike for a bunch of Gram Parsons nerds like us - this was sacred ground...<br />
<br />
We checked into the Joshua Tree Inn, a small roadside motel where Gram's life ended in September 1973. Outside room number eight there's a beautiful shrine to Gram...<br />

<br />
The whole place is filled with awesome Gram memorabilia, including a room in the main building filled with old news clipping and original vinyl...<br />

As the day wore on and the sun began to set we loaded up the bike and took it to Joshua Tree National Park. I can't show you the best shots from that day (you'll see them soon enough) but here are some good outtakes...<br />

When dave asked me if i wanted to do my bike for his invited builder bike for born free i had no idea what i was getting myself into. The last few months have been fuckin crazy and i wasnt even the one doing all the work. Dave has an insane amount of hours into this bike, he made fuckin everything besides the motor/trans and the wheels. Its the most amazing bike ive ever seen and its really gnarly to have something that ive dreamed about in my head for so long, actually exist in real life. Its a feeling that i cant really explain and theres nothing i can say or do to thank dave enough, that bike is perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The born free trip was epic, we took the bike out to joshua tree and smoked it for the first time out there and i like to think gram was there with us. and it was the perfect spot to shoot the photos for the bike. Kris will probably post some of the out takes soon. I just want to say thanks to the whole crew for an epic time and thanks again dave for building my dream motorcycle. i dont have any pics from the trip so heres one that <span class="st"></span><a href="http://aproposfoto.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Michael Schmidt</a> posted on his page.</div>

Day 1:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited about the ride to Born Free this year after last year's ride with Kris, Justin and others along with the occasional meeting with the Speedmetal trailer gang attempting to help us with the many "Shit, I ran out of gas" moments and the "Hey, come hang out with us for 3 hours while we figure out where to find an inner tube for this blown out tire in the middle of nowhere" situations that arise when you ride 1000 miles across country on a 2 wheeled machine. The show itself is amazing, and was even more so this year, but the ride from Colorado to California is absolutely breath taking!You are surrounded by views of some of the most beautiful parts of the country while constantly waiting and wondering what the journey has in store for you along the way. This year it didn't work out for the whole group to ride out together so these are some photos from the adventures of the </div>
