Happy Camper

Getting hot by a car on a motorcycle will change you in many ways. It also usually means you can't ride a bike for a good amount of time while you heal. Well, Caleb is happy for many reasons, he survived a nasty accident, blood clots, broken bones, the birth of his first kid, and the beginning and end of his Born-Free 5 build. There's lots in life to be happy about and today Caleb is celebrating all of them. Something to think about!<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/69089664" style="height: 347px; width: 618px;" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe> <br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/69089664">Franken Pan Lives!</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user4626803">cro customs</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.

Born-Free 5 Invited Builder Series-Larry Pierce of Garage Company Customs

We met Larry Pierce and his girlfriend Ashley last year at Born-Free 4 behind their box van where they had been selling moonshine to help pay for gas money for the big trip out west to Born-Free. We had seen some of his stuff in a few of the magazines, but were taken by the bike he built and brought to the show just for fun. Larry seemed to have more than just talent, he was a down to earth dude that embodied the kind of spirit we look for in our invited builders. They have to be more than a pretty face!<br />Anyway, we are pleased to have Larry join us and our builders for Born-Free 5!
