O
hio Bike week was my first big show out of my home area and first stop on the Z
ombie
Apocalypse Tour. As it always seems to go I had a very short time to pull it all together,
I got
the final confirmation on the show only four weeks prior to the event leaving me very little time
to pull it all together. Not only did I need to put together all the ads posters and flyers,
make
tons of phone calls,
email and social media blasts,
I also had to buy a new van!
My old van was having many issues and I j
ust did not trust it to be road worthy,
so I had
to buy a another one,
and I wanted to use as many of the parts as I could from the old van
on the new van,
so I had to find another Dodge van around the same year and model. I
found one two weeks before the event and within one week I cleaned out the new one I j
ust
bought,
stripped the doors off my old one and replaced them on the new van along with the
entire interior set up that I had built in the original van and had it painted by the following
weekend!
I also slapped together my 77 Ironhead proj
ect bike so I could take it with me,
all
making me a week late in getting to O
hio!
Leaving me very little time to go out and drum up
word about the show.
Fortunately for me I ran into the awesome and lovely K
immy K
ruz,
who has been a bartender
at bike rallies across the US for many years and in doing so has built up a lot of friends
across the land in in O
hio!
She hooked me up with a couple of awesome area car guys Gene
