Crook/Scammer Alert in New York PLEASE READ!
I've been following this thread over at Chop Cult of a motor swap gone bad. Long story short, Pat in Texas with a Shovel, traded a kid (SEAN D RYAN) in NewYork for an EVO. Here is a copy of the link:
http://www.chopcult.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15022
Once Sean received the Shovel, he stopped all contact with Pat in TX. Finally, after several days of fellow CC'ers and Pat blowing up Sean's phone/e-mail with threatening messages, the kid sent the Evo on it's way to TX with tracking etc. Five days later Pat in TX received an EVO boat anchor! Now again, Sean in NY is not answering the phone, and now trying to sell the shovel motor via Craigslist and several forums.
Here is a portion of the original description for the EVO motor provided by NY Kid:
"nicely rebuilt 93 evo with delkron cases"
Here are pix of said motor:
Here's SEAN D RYAN's face. His contact information is in the original CC post link above.
Whats even more disturbing is this guy is, or was an American solider. If you know Sean D Ryan, or have a connection to any NY LEOs, or have any ideas at all please respond over at Chop Cult, or send me an e-mail at asphalt_squad@yahoo.com and I will forward it on. This ass hat needs to be stopped.

What is a Veteran?
A "Veteran"- weather active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve- is someone who, at one point is his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for a amount of "up to, and including his life." If you are serving, or have served, thank you for your service. Thank you for protecting this great country of ours, and keeping me and my family safe.
Happy 66th Birthday To My Pops...
...the man responsible for my motorcycle addiction, twice cancer survivor, my hero. Yep, he was born on Veterans Day, I missed his birthday by 4 days...guess I couldn't wait to get out and discover bikes.
Me and Pops last week at a surprise party for him, bet cha' can't tell we're related?
On his 2011 Ultra last summer on a x-country trip with his buddies.
Love you Pops, happy birthday!

Jesse vrs Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber?
If you haven't heard about this (click here) you either live under a rock, or are just not a motorcycle enthusiast...which begs the question, how did you get here?
We all have our opinions about the three parties involved, and I'm not going to discuss that here. Lets keep in mind this is about building motorcycles, not ex-wives, and girlfriends. More importantly this is about making money. First and foremost Discovery Channel making money, and the three parties involved making money. If I was in any of their shoes would I do it? In this day in age...Hell yes!
Based solely on the link above (and no surprise to me) it's obvious that this circus has become a popularity contest. A true "build-off" competition would have been to put these three in a large room, full of raw materials, tools, un assembled motors, three bike lifts, and misc parts. Wouldn't that be interesting...sadly "that" would never happen, because the Tweedle Twins would never sign off on it knowing good and well they couldn't actually "build" a ground up motorcycle.
All being said, I have to agree with Jesse...
