Meshal flew in from the country of Kuwait in the Middle East for our October 2009 workshops. That's about 15 hours spent on the airplane EACH WAY and 13,442 total miles of flying! The dude knew more about jockey shifters than I could imagine! |

Brad flew in from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for our September 2009 workshops. He is from Australia and works on 20,000 horsepower compressor engines that pump natural gas back into Middle East oil wells. Hey, what's with all these guys flying in from the Middle East lately? He said a lot of the Shieks ride Harleys! That is 14,410 total miles of flying to the workshops. Woah! |

Ben, Baxter and Phillip installing the flywheel assembly. Ben, on the left, flew in from Toronto. He already had some custom bike experience and has a few high performance cars that are jaw dropping! (I won't elaborate too much on the cars!) |

Phillip, in the center, flew in from New Zealand for the workshops. Yes, I said NEW ZEALAND! That is 8,359 miles of flying ONE WAY! That is 16,718 miles round trip! He won the award for the student coming the furthest! He had a lot of stories about the Harley and custom bike scene in New Zealand. He is now the resident custom bike guru in New Zealand as custom bike knowledge there is hard to get. Amazing dude! |

| Mark, on the right from Wash DC, has his finger pointed to the wire on the schematic and is telling the guys to "wire it right here where I am pointing like it says on the schematic"! He works around the world for Uncle Sam when not riding. |
| Ok, this is Baxter from Utah. Bad to the bone. Has ridden more miles than I could believe on a Fat Boy, Electra Glide, BMW, Ducati...with more war stories than we could believe. He climbed Mount Everest (honest... we saw the pics)! He also teaches base jumping ( go to You Tube if you want to know what that is all about), and the stories just go on and on. Man, this November class had the most intense dudes on the planet! From New Zealand to Mount Everest - these guys had the planet covered! It was like doing a class with a bunch of Navy Seals! |
