Over the weekend longtime friend and sponsor Mike Halloran from TWT MOTORCYCLE PARTS was in a bad motorcycle accident in W. Virginia. I don’t have details on how it happened but I got a message from mike’s wife, Darlene, that Mike is in critical but stable condition. Keep Mike in your thoughts and be careful out there.

The ass kickers at American Icon are hare at work pulling this years Kris Hendershott designed t-shirt. At the same time Iron Thread is stiching up the patches and sharping the knives! I would like to welcome another NEW SPONSOR! Feltraiger American Made Clothes. We have a few new features on the run this year. Its not the kind of thing you talk about on the internet, so you are just going to have to show up to find out what I’m talking about. HA!
Here is a video of American Icon doing their thing!
The work continues… I have a bit of a website update for you guys. We have tightened up the BASICS, MAP and CALENDAR Sections. We have some new sponsors this year. OLD BIKE BARN and MACH MODIFIED. Support the guys that support you. Kris Hendershott is furiously working on this years T-shirt design, while we continue to knock things off our to do list. More to come. Stay tuned. ~Walter
To quote our buddies at Biltwill, “Have fun. Ride Motorcycles.” This is the have fun part!
For the past few years I have been wanting to get some video footage of the Gypsy Run for promos or a short documentary. Since Dennis Hopper is dead and Martin Scorsese isn’t returning my phone calls. I need your help. Is there any budding directors out there that would be interested in making a short documentary about the run? If you are, or know someone who is please contact me HERE. Thank you motorcycling community! ~ Walter
The dates for the Seventh Annual Gypsy Run are Sept 13, 14 & 15. 2013. That’s right, Friday the 13th.
