And it begins...

Started on the Iron, this is our first build so we are taking it realllll slow.

We got our build bikes..

So I found this 73 Ironhead in a barn in the middle of nowhere, after haggling with the dude i picked ip up for 2 grand. Runs ok but has all the same issues any 73 Iron would have, clutch leaks and general little quirks.
The plan for this bad boy is chop it up, pretty much rebuild the whole engine and make it rad.


And Kristen scored this XS for 2200. Other than a carb issue this bike is ready to roll. We will be taking this apart as well changing a bunch of stuff and make it to the "show parking" lot at BF4.

So we got a garage...

So after the born free show, Kristen and I were so inspired by what we saw we set out to find a little shop and build our own bikes to ride down next year.
Turned out Whitey has a hook up with this space right in the city and wanted next to nothing for it..
Let the fun begin...

Our Born Free ride video is here!!

So we took about 800 pictures and around 3 hours of video and condensed a 9 day, 3200 mile ride into a sweet little 3 minute video... hope you enjoy :-)

It was only 42 degrees... The ride to Vegas

Awesome day running from Tonopah to Vegas, Kristen has a fuel filter crap out in the middle of nowhere, it was about 42 with no sign of shade.

Coaldale Nevada...

Came across this "town" in the middle of nowhere in between Reno and Tonopah Nevada, amazing that as much of it still survives, I was bummed the arcade the clearly closed.
