If you are into seeing some of the best bikes in the world and some of the best builders then head out to the Brooklyn Invitational this weekend. Below you will find info on different parties and the builder list which is just out of this world. Happy riding if you are on the road heading out. Have a great weekend and keep the rubber side down #vtwinlife #harleydavidson #brooklyninvitational #indianlarry
It’s getting to be that time again…Spring is here and Summer is around the corner. All invited builders are cutting, sanding, and fabricating the dream bike for one lucky winner. Some of the most fun things are the pre-parties that get things going around this time. This weekend Born-Free and Loser Machine Company is going to be throwing a fun party in LA at the Garage Company shop. This year they are giving away a rebuilt 1952 Panhead motor, something I know I can use for sure. So come drink some Pabst out of a large boob tap and see some cool rides.
Repost: Sad news for the custom motorcycle industry. Daytec,
one of the leading manufacturers of aftermarket frames for American
V-Twin Motorcycles with a state-of- the-art Powder Coating
division, has closed its doors. Phil Day created Daytec back
in 1974, first building high performance exhaust systems for the
boating industry, learning about powder coating and playing around
with all types of off-road vehicles,. 
Then Daytec became the
leading manufacturer of the highest quality custom
American V-Twin motorcycle frames, building them for different
brands like Arlen Ness and West Coast Choppers, and also creating
one-off frames for professional custom builders and individuals. In
its shop of Hesperia, California the Daytec team also performed
repair and restoration of classic and vintage frames. This morning,
Jesse James who confirmed to me the closure of Daytec, advised me
that his 2 signature frames, the CFL 1 (below picture) and CFL 3
(stainless steel) will now be made again at his own facility in
Austin, Texas. The industry just lost its best source for custom
American V-Twin custom motorcycle frames. Added
01/27/2014 at 1.00 p.m. est. Gary Chipp, founder of Fat Baggers,
Inc, also known as FBI located in Chariton, asked me
to announce that Phil Day of Daytec will be joining the Fat
Baggers, Inc. team February 1, 2014. “I am excited
about new product opportunities and the opportunity to have Phil
Day in our facility assisting with manufacturing and production
management” said Gary Chipp. Mr. Day replied, “I am excited
to be here and anxious to continue the tradition of producing
quality frames. With the recent changes in the industry, I feel
there is great opportunity in applying what I have learned to FBI!”
FBI welcomes custom frame
manufacturing and powder coating services for the aftermarket
motorcycle industry. Contact sales at 641-774-7499 or
sales@fatbaggers.com for any of your manufacturing needs. – See

Baggers Inc..
It’s May 1st and Motorcycle Awareness month is kicked off with a loud Mayday to all drivers on the road! Mayday is used to signal a life-threatening emergency primarily by mariners and aviators, but has been used by others transportation organizations as well. Keeping an extra eye out for a motorcyclist can be a life saver not just in the month of May but all year round. I am full agreement that loud pipes save lives and my Thunderheader usually does the trick!
If you live in a place that is not crowded with traffic be thankful. Living in southern California definitely has its perks and the weather allows for more riding year round. That also brings in more people and that means more traffic to deal with. So I again ask all drivers of caged vehicles to put down the cell phone and pay attention to where you are driving as your concentration may save a life!
