Danny Yannone is a custom painter that has been painting bikes for almost a decade. After a legit apprenticeship under the tutelage of Justin Barnes of American Chopper fame Danny set out o his own. He and I have had our differences but through it all we remained the best of friends. I hope you find him entertaining.

So its been a minute but Cody and I talked some about Sturgis, the new Harley models (we still haven't formed clear opinions) and we chat about some basic bike shop shit. There is a sponsor now too: Boosted Brad's Death Metal Racing Parts is offering 10% off with promo code: "HOW" at check out! Enjoy!

It has been a weird two weeks since we posted last. Since Cody was on vacation I tool the opportunity to sit down with my wife and get her incite on the motorcycle biz, tell a few old stories and share a laugh or two. Cody will be back for episode 14 but in the meantime enjoy!

We met Jeff in 2016 at the FXR show. We have been friends ever since. In January of this year Jeff left Hot Bike magazine to pursue his new project that was launched July 4th called "V-Twin Visionary", a multi media online hub full of new product, hot builds and trending builders. We bent his ear for a few minutes to see how the launch was, we talk a little BMX and Cody and I finish the episode with a bullsh!t session. The audio was a little "HOT" at times but what do you expect...I'm still a little rusty. Thanks and enjoy!

Okay...so it has been five long years. A lot has changed in the marketplace and in the podcast world. I was going to spend some time and preface the episode with a verbal intro but fuck it...I left it a bit raw. We clowned on ourselves, we clowned on our friends and gave some shout outs to those that we felt deserved one. We also solidified NEVER being able to get a sponsor. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it!

This is where my biased opinion will get me into trouble, I am going out on a limb here to say that Darren Williams is one of the top 5 painters (that I know of) in the M/C industry. Darren's shop - Liquid Illusions in St. Louis, Missouri is where it goes down. Darren is a multi-talented; painter, fabricator, graphic artist, film maker and the list goes on. Originally from Beantown (Mass) this mid-west transplant operates in the shadow of the great arch in the great city of St. Louis only a stone's throw away from the mighty Mississippi river. He has launched a new website and new product line called Paint Skinz at: www.paintyourowndamnbike.com go there, check it out, paint your own damn bike and make sure you leave me a comment on I-tunes so that other people can find me. Thanks!-Jason

So I am going out on a limb here. I assume we all love Garage-Built customs and this guys garage has a CNC in it. He uses his CNC to make some bitchin' V-Twin parts. I found the Racedyne SHEVOL rocker boxes poking around online and I had to have a set for a project at the shop. Not expecting the world from a reasonably priced set of 100% American-made rocker boxes, (my last set were $1400) I was blown away and I just had to talk to the proprietor; Paul Chirayath. It turns out that this guy has quite an interesting story to tell and I was honored that I got to talk to him about Racedyne and how these parts came to be. We are all gearheads and Paul is no different. He is a master at building SOHC Ford engines and knows his way around a Top Alcohol Dragster too. Paul took time from his busy schedule while in the orient on business to chat me up and talk about this and (possible) future products under the Racedyne banner. Not wanting to be a sell out...give a listen and if you wanna see the parts go here: www.racedyne.com

Who the f__k is Roadside Marty you ask? Well click "download" and find out. Roadside and I have been friends for 7 years now and in that time we have both found ourselves in some amazing places. The "Un-official" official M.C. of almost every (worthwhile) wet T-shirt, chopper show, and rally in the motorcycle industry, Roadside is the mouth of the south and a friend when in need. The kind of guy you keep on speed dial. Like the old saying goes: "friends will help you move but real friends will help you move a body", that is the kind of guy Roadside is. If you don't already know who Roadside Marty is...you will by the end of this podcast. I am proud to call him a brother and a friend and I cannot wait for Daytona this spring. Roadside is one of judges for the greatest Chopper show in the world, Willie's Tropical Tattoo, so grab you a cold one and find out the answer to the age old question, and if you stick around until the end you will even find out where the question "Who the f__k is Roadside Marty?" came from. Thanks for listening!

I was stoked when Jeff Cochran agreed to do the HOW Garage-Built Podcast. Jeff is the owner (and sole employee) of Speed King USA www.speedkingusa.com and the founder of the Sucker Punch Sally motorcycle company. We talked about building bikes, spending cash, and surviving a shitty economy. Jeff let us in on a few things he is doing and I got to learn a few things that I didn't already know about the guy. (Did you know Jeff is a Cartier-trained watch maker?) Grab a few cold ones, download this into your IPod, get your ass into the garage and build something (or relax like a lazy bastard) and listen to Jeff and I break it down on this episode of the Hell On Wheels Garage-Built Podcast. Please remember...WE NEED YOU TO COMMENT AND RATE US ON ITUNES!

I was blown away when Irish Rich agreed to be on the HOW Garage Built Podcast. Lets face it, Rich is legendary. Rich is a Sinner (Nomad), has been in and on almost every legitimate motorcycle publication and has been building bikes and hot rods for decades. I have only known Rich for 5-years and it had been that long since we had spoke. Denver is in the throws of Old Man Winter's snowy grip and while Irish Rich is still busy forging his craft in his small but ample workshop he took time to sit down with me. Truly the "King" of garage builders, Rich talks about all that is Shamrock Fabrication. The only thing that could have been any better is if we could have gone two-hours instead of just over one! Note: Rich assured me there was plenty more to talk about, so there will be future episodes! Thanks again for your subscription and if you really like the episode please rat and comment on ITunes...Jason
