Easy Rider and Chopperguy

Tom Gordon and his son Jason of Motorcycle Specialties offer head porting services for all V-twins. Why should you send your heads to them?

During (Tom's) drag racing years (1987-2001) he proved his abilities in the area of engine performance. He won many events in the Midwest including races at Sturgis, South Dakota; Grove Creek, Minnesota; Havana, Illinois, and the Harley Drags in Humboldt, Iowa. At the Harley Drags in Humbolt, Iowa he set two national records, one in Elapsed Time, and one in Miles Per Hour.

For you Ironhead owners, Tom is a huge Ironhead fan. He is definitely a guy worth knowing if you own an old Sportster. Those records mentioned above were set on an Ironhead drag bike. They can do miracles on any V-twin head.

What? You don't like more horsepower? You don't want to leave the sport bikes eating your dust? Then never mind.

While watching the neighbor kids play I was reminded of the kids from my generation. I now have a theory as to the roots of the return of the chopper.

So I called out to the kid's dad. "Be careful. It leads to harder stuff."
