The two builders and their teams met in Two Harbors Minnesota on Tuesday (6/13/2006) in preparation for the ride that started at the Split Rock Lighthouse just north of the rock, on Wednesday morning at sunup. The lighthouse is approximately 100 miles south of Canada on Lake Superior and very scenic. Oh YEAH! It was Leather and or Thermal weather.


 

The motorcycles were first viewed by each contestant and the crews at that time. They were beautiful, well built and as different as night and day, as was the builders. Gypsy the small blond female and Kim the tall large male. The motorcycles were reflective of each builder.

Gypsy’s bike was a rigid. She designed the frame. Berry Wardlaw, of Accurate Engineering, built the 80- Cubic-Inch Knucklehead Engine with two Rear Heads and Dual Mikuni Carbs. The fire engine bobber hosted a myriad of hand made parts.
