Default Spent some time with Donny Petersen today

What a great guy.

For somebody who is an absolute icon in the biker world he sure is down to earth and accommodating.

Stay tuned for a front page feature article on Donny, his new book and a contest to win a signed hard cover copy.

I concur completely I don't "know" Donny per se, but I have had my bike in his shop, and shot the breeze with him a few times....he's the genuine article, and his shop is second to none...they get it right the first time.

I will add, that I made a call to him while broken down on the side of the road, and he stayed on the phone with me for quite some time trying to troubleshhot with me...I was a nobody, but as I said he;s a genuine guy who makes a positive difference in our community.

Is that first book just on the Twin Cam? or is it a complete history? The dates on the cover are throwing me off?

Volume 1 is about the TC, but it includes a lot of anecdotes from DP. It's a good read. The other 11 volumes are still forth coming.
