SMOKEOUT WEST REPORT

EDR alumni Kim Boyle joined Chris Collins and Billdozer on their 400-mile ride from SoCal to Cottonwood, AZ, for last week's Smokeout West. Fellow motorcycle fiends Joel and Yuriko from Ito, Japan, also joined the guys for the ride. McGoo did what any self-respecting douchebag would do and trailered his Sportfighter behind Bill's new assault van. The Smokeout was EDR sponsor Biltwell Inc's public debut and everyone in tow helped tremendously with Chris's dog and pony show. '06 ED Runners Caleb Owens, Nick McLean and George Counes from Spartan Frameworks took top-10 honors in the Smokeout's super competitive bike show. Hammer, the esteemed editor of The Horse Backstreet Choppers magazine honored our friend Yuriko with his Editor's Choice Award. Congratulations to everyone who joined us at this year's innaugural Left Coast Smokeout, and thanks to everyone at the Horse for making the event so damned fun.

I'm too stupid to remember the builder of this bike's name, but it was Billdozer's favorite (McGoo, Scott Craig built it. -Bill)
