The Countdown Begins....


Ryan L. Allen and Kirk W. MacGillivray will be "greenhorns" participating in the 2014 Motorcycle Cannonball along with 65 other riders. This historical event is a grueling 3956 mile ride across the country on classic motorcycles built in 1936 and earlier. 

They have been working tirelessly through late evenings and weekends over the past several months collecting the parts needed for each bike, organizing those parts by specific categories and spending hours upon hours restoring each part by hand. The payoff has been worth it, as the bikes are coming together, being assembled with great care and craftsmanship. Ryan and Kirk are getting ready for the ride (or punishment) of their lives. 

Kirk's bike is a 1928 Indian short frame police Scout. This bike has been affectionately named "Pandora." 

Ryan's bike is a 1929 Indian 101 Scout and was used as a Wall of Death bike. This bike has been appropriately named "Morticia."
