From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Shovelhead engine was created as the previous Panhead engine was becoming obsolete, with many Harley-Davidson owners demanding more power to compete with the more modern motorcycles. Throughout the Shovelhead’s run, the engine had many different changes made to it to improve power, cooling and oil consumption. The engines had only 10 fins for cooling, which caused them to run hot. Another problem was that oil would pool in the cylinder heads, causing it to leak into the valves and burn oil. (more…)

Big Dog Motorcycle Ride

Big Dog Motorcycle Ride

The newer Big Dogs come with an S&S 124 engine. With the huge 300mm rear tire and a length over 9′, it takes a few rides to get used to the power & handling.

The head-turning looks and sound of this flagship of the Big Dog line is certinally not for everyone! The bike is NOT hard to ride, but as a factory produced custom chopper, I belive it has no equal! (more…)

Operation Combat Bikesaver

Operation Combat Bikesaver

Operation Combat Bikesaver gives veterans and first responders a chance to build and customize a motorcycle. People of all skill levels are encourage to jump in, lend a hand and pick up a few new skills in the process. But OCB is about more than turning wrenches and hangin’ with your bros. This group finds satisfaction in helping out their brothers and finding the gold that lies beneath the rust.

OCB has grown and developed since the beginning to a scale that initially nobody thought would be achievable in such a short amount of time.  The program has had some amazing folks behind the scenes, all doing their part and adding their personal touch to what it has transformed into today.  I have personally met most of the volunteers and board members and can attest every single one is just as compassionate as Jason himself articulates about his passion.
