59 Panhead
John Edwards flawless 59 Pan.I have been watching this bike come together for several months and talked to John daily about his build. The bike is incredible just like his 52.John built the entire bike and obviously did the paint and body.Understated paint & a list of rare parts...NOS XA to Nos 2.75 John is a stickler for creating a bike in a certain time period and he has nailed this one.Doing something this correctly with no shortcuts takes patience& skill and even though he busted it out for the show no comprises were made and it really shows.I hope to get over to his place and take some of my own photos but these will have to do.
Builder Bikes
Here are just a few of the Builder Invite bikes. I will do a complete post about all of them once I locate some pictures and details.Put these 25 bikes in a building and it could have been it's own show..
1960 Panhead w/ Mags
Eric writes> This is a friend of mine from the bar, Rich's bike. He's letting it go. Email eric.powers@mac.com if interested.He doesn't spend a lot of time on the internet, so I offered my help spreading the word about this bike for him.This is his first bike. He bought it in the 60's and has ridden it ever since. It's his daily driver for many, many years. He's re-done the bike several times over the years, rigid frame/springer/girder/etc.Pics are pretty much how it stands now. He finished re-building the transmission today. Fresh as a daisy.

One Week Until BF3
It's hard to believe it's a week away! We have promoting this show since last September at the Brooklyn Invitational. We have been to alot of bike shows,races and gatherings... several art and car shows & every local swap meet since December talking to people ( all of you) about Born Free... not to mention 100's if not 1000's of emails about it too..When you completely do your own show(all of it) and get out and meet people you really get a true sense of how and what they feel about what you are doing...and it has been really cool to meet so many folks that are excited about the show and willing to come from such great distances...with their bikes to be a part of this. We have always had an open door policy on the show...if you want to be involved.. you can ! and you did! I think it shows with the number of sponsors,vendors and builders we have. We are a couple of regular guys who like old bikes and wanted to put on the best show that we possibly can. We can't wait to see all of you next Saturday June 25 th ...Oh yeah there is a 46 Knucklehead that one of you will take home.
