WarBikes

The Gunfighter series has accomplished so much in just the pan of a few months. Word has spread quickly about this beautiful motorcycle and the team that built her. We’d celebrate with champagne (ok, beer) but we don’t drink and ride.

Instead we thought we’d celebrate in some other ways…

Stop by the WarBikes facebook page on Monday for a chance to win a t-shirt. There’s going to be a pop-quiz to see just how well you’ve paid attention to the Gunfighter motorcycle build. Don’t worry, it won’t be a hard question, like “What is Kenny’s middle name?” because we don’t even know the answer to that. (That man is a mystery.) It will probably involve questions like “How many propeller blades can be found with both the P-51 Mustang Gunfighter and the Motorcycle Gunfighter?” (6? 12? 20?)

Well, now that I’ve asked it on here, I can’t very well ask it on Monday, now can I? But feel free to count & chime in with your answer here.

In other (beer-related) news, the Commemorative Air Force is holding their 2nd Annual Hops & Props event tomorrow night at the Commemorative Center in Midland, Texas. There are a limited number of tickets left at the door for music by Brian Milson, a silent auction and beer tasting. Come check it out.

In Gunfighter (the lovely P-51d who soars through the air) news, she kicks off her air show tour season this week. More info can be found on her appearance schedule at the Great Plains Wing site.

We’ve relished the feedback and commentary from places like Cyril Huze Blog. If you’re a Colonel, check your next issue of Dispatch to see an article all about WarBikes as well.

Coming up April 30-May 2, we’re sneaking Gunfighter away from her garage just long enough to be on display at the West Texas Motorcycle Show, which conveniently enough will be held in Midland, Texas. No, we won’t let her participate in any of the stunts, we’re opting to keep her polished paint job scratch-free instead.

Stick around and celebrate with us. WarBikes has got so many more projects and ideas shaping up in the studio/garage, that even us keyboard monkeys are getting grease under our fingernails.
