something the Horse magazine would be proud of.

Should be a homebrew category.

We've been trying.  Maybe if more people requested it they might give it to us?

We actually won BEST OF SHOW and our class at last years ride in bike show.Our shop is called PRIMER INC.We build traditional two wheel hot rods (BOBBERS).We use only shovelhead motors and rigid frames.We only build two or three bikes a year the way we like them, hand built motors and lots of one off fabricated parts.We hope to have our latest tooth rattler ready by this years rally.We were pretty disappointed with last years buildoff, with a couple of real nice bikes , but most being built with too much off the shelf parts (HMMM).When was the last time some of those guys split the cases on an engine and rebuilt it .Anyone can decorate a christmas tree.

Exactly!  That's what I'm talkin about.  Anybody can buy bolt on parts but what about the little guys that actually KNOW about their bikes and what it took to BUILD it.  The ones who actually put heart into the project.
 
Sorry if I sound a little preachy but I've had a few drinks tonight.

Bolting on chrome parts to a stocker doesn't make a bike builder! I'm always happy to see bikes that people build from scratch. I've been at this for 30 years and have made a name for myself in the industry but theres always more to learn, Trust me!!   Cut , Weld, hammer ,beat ,bend and paint. Then build a kickass engine and drive train and blast off! Now you've done something!!! Stop by and see us in the Thunderdome!!! Lightning

I haven't heard anything on Billy lately.  His court date hasn't come up yet has it?  I didn't know what they finally decided to charge him with.  His accident got a lot of news coverage - then it got so quite I didn't know what ever happened with the case.
 
He took a really hard fall  and its such a shame.  Drinking and driving are never a good combination.
