V-Twin TV – Oklahoma City, OK

24-26 Aug – Another pushpin goes on the map for places I’ve visited this year.  We’re in Oklahoma City visiting, get this… Brass Balls Bobber & Choppers (is that a company name or what!?).  It’s a relatively new company, but with a long and successful pedigree.  The co-owner and builder is Sam Wills – world champion racer and builder.  His business partner and company creative designer and marketer is Dar Holdsworth – a successful businessman and avid bike enthusiast.  Together, they’re positioning themselves on what might very well be the next big craze in the two-wheel market.

Ever wonder what happens when a motorcycle tire gets too close to a bumper.  Opps.  For what it’s worth, the shots were great.

Nothing a little spray paint can’t fix.

A motley crew if ever there was.  From L to R.  Dar (co-owner, Brass Balls) / DK (our sound mixer) / John (Segment Producer) / Sam (co-owner, Brass Balls) / the rouge himself (me)

The featured bike – Dar’s baby.  That’s one hell of a nice bike!

Our producer can best be described as “inventive”.  He found what I think is the best use of the “Hoodman”.  We have two for our DVX100 cameras but they don’t usually see much use until now.  He attached one to his PDA to reduce glare and thereby making his movie watching more enjoyable.  The method is that he rips movies to reasonably small movie files and uploads them to removable media that he can watch from his PDA.  I wonder if you’ll be seeing their product now marketed to travelers?

A very happy man.
