I would like to thank all of the people that work hard to get this run done every year. Everyone that pitches in, helps out and kicks ass. Our sponsors are the fucking cream of the crop. They support this event for the best reason, they love it as much as you do. So thats it. Hope to see you this weekend. ~ Walter

P.S. Remember… NO CRASHING!

People don’t suck.

Just as I am about to loose all faith in the human race, I get a package from Gypsy Run sponsor and all around good guy Steve B with a note that read… “Here are a few things from my store I would like to donate for TWT Mike’s recovery.” Nice. Faith restored. So during the run i’ll be taking bids on this package. (Valued at $225.00) Highest bid wins. You can do it in person or you can email bids to me HERE. Wining bid will be announced Sat evening when we give out the awards. ~ Walter

Summer Pocket Wallet 1 – Black & Suede series
Made from veg-tan leather and lined with a nice heavy gauge mocha suede, these are tough and good looking. Of all of the things I make, this is probably the most handy and useful. I carry mine everyday. The pocket wallet hold 6 credit cards, your license a few business cards and the money clip (removable) can take $400 in 20’s

the Hulu buckle
this is a great buckle, fits a 1.5″ belt, is a super kooky brown color… with a contrasting white “doubled up” thread the leather is heavy duty veg tan, the back of the buckle is natural, lined and protects your belt.

The Iron Knee
This is a unique, one of a kind belt/key fob. You can attach wallet chains, key rings or other stuff to it, it’s a nice change from the “norm”. The solid brass forged “D” ring is 1.5″ wide…

A few more things

DSCN0066

  • There will be a FOOD TRUCK at the campsites. Dennis from Plan Bistro is coming back for seconds.
  • Mike 47 INDUSTRIES can not bring his shop on wheels this year. We will have a CHASE TRUCK, just not as cool as Mike’s.
  • MAPS are in the works. You will have them before you need them. So STOP ASKING!
  • CAMPSITE FEES will be around $15 a night. (more on this later)
  • The FUEL STOPS will be no more than 60 miles apart, so plan accordingly.
  • YOU can come to as MUCH or as LITTLE of the run as you want to. If you can’t do the whole weekend don’t let that stop ya.
  • We couldn’t care less what type of BIKE you ride. I still get asked “I ride a 2006 Hella-Yeah super-awesome chopper. Can I come?”
  • We will have a PRE RUN to BROOKLYN on Thur. Night. (sept. 12th) Bobby and the crew at INDIAN LARRY’S are gonna cook us dinner.

Thats it for today. More to come. ~ Walter

Mike Halloran (TWT)

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.
