Happy Birthday Jamie!

I love you!

Shop is busy

Now that the Hoedown is done , we are back in the shop working some really long days. A few builds are in works and orders are heading out the door. Being busy is a good thing.

Been spotted in Phoenix

Our buddy Jason sent this in. This guy is wearing the new HK shirt and didn’t know who or what HK was but liked the design.

Very Cool!

Thanks for the awards

Big thanks to Dan Collins, Sara Ray, Adrian Lopez, 805 Customs, Chopper Dave, Bones, Freddy Hernandez, Sonny Boy, Duane Ballard, Emily Frye and the Lords of Riverside Car Club . The awards were a big hit with the crowd . The creativity that went into each trophy was truly amazing. Thanks again for your valuable time to make this possible for the winners.

Poster are still available

We still have some of the event posters available. They are $10.00 each plus S&H  and you can buy them HERE.

It was bound to happen

After a great day for the Hoedown, a bunch of us were breaking down the Wild West Arena, when I decided to get the bikes home. We are going over to the Bum Steer for a small get together afterwards.

Well I hopped on the Plum Smuggler, gave it a few kicks and the damn bike kicked back. The brass kicker pedal smashed into my leg and proceeded to gash it open. Thanks to Firefighter Dave  and all my buddies for jumping in and helping me out.

Never made it to the Bum Steer but did spend two and half hours of quality time in the hospital

Good times!

Thanks to the VENDORS!

Hippy Killer Hoedown

Jamie and I would like to thank EVERYONE for a great event. It wouldn’t of been possible without the vendors, the bands, the sound guys, Danny G and all our friends, who donated their time to make the day run smoothly.

The amount of free product that we received was overwhelming. Big Thanks to Vans, Loser Machine, Born Loser, Licks, Limpnickie Lot, Sucker Punch Sally, La Speed Shop, Cycle Source, Nash Motorcycles, Iron Fist Clothing, OBEY, 70 Moto, Benchmark, Technical and Lowbrow Customs for sending in so much product, that the free giveaways lasted all day long.

The artist helped us greatly, all of the trophies came out killer.

The Lords of Riverside car club always have a home at any of our upcoming events. Excellent job on the parking and with the gate.

To my Sinner brothers, thanks for representing

We would also like to thank the media for your coverage of the Hoedown.

Thanks to Mom and Dad for all of their support and help.

We will have pictures soon but right now it is time for a nap.

For you

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

KUTTY

P.S. …….there’s more to come

Thanks Spectro Oil

 
We have these bitchin posters to hand out from our friends at Spectro Oil. Duane and I liked this shot that Wes D. took for the Street Chopper article that we asked Rollin if he could help us with the posters. They are thick as hell and you can find them at the Eternal Combustion booth. Thanks Rollin and Dave for all of you help. If possible one per person would be cool so more guys can get one.
We use Spectro Oil, do you?

Attention Custom Car and Bike owners………….

The Custom cars and bikes will be going thru the LEFT side of the main gate, you will be paying the 10 entrance fee and if there are any passengers they will be doing the same. The Lords of Riverside Car Club will be helping us park your cars. We will have some of our guys help the bikes parking. There is no advance registration needed but hopefully one day the Hoedown will become that big that you have to, we all can dream. We have a total of six car and six motorcycle awards to be handed out, they are all Best of Show but all one off awards that we know you will be stoked to get. All winners must be present to win. We will have the award ceremony at 5pm and have invited a lot of our media friends to join us. Get ready to be famous and thanks for coming out!

For anyone that is coming in cars, there is a field adjacent to the Arena that you will be parking in. Please pull forward and park in rows as we need to fill it to the maximum capacity. We will have guys helping in that field, please follow their direction. They will create the needed space for the traffic to flow. Keep your speeds down as there will be a lot of movement in that field. We need everyone's cooperation so we can get you off the road as quickly as possible but in an orderly fashion.

You will be entering thru this side gate. It is $10 per person.

We all know the Noteboom’s , heck most of Kutty and Jamie's friends and family are working together on Saturday to make this event possible. Please don’t expect to get into this event for free because you know someone. There has been numerous fees paid out and massive amount of hours to get it to this point.

See you Saturday!~ Lisa

70 Moto bars are in the grab bag

Big thanks to Chris Collins, proud owner and operator of 70 Moto, for hooking us up with a sweet set of bars for the Hoedown. He will either be bringing the 9" rise or 7" rise.

Thanks Chris, you rule!

We have our wings for the VIP Area

Big thanks to Mike D for letting me use his truck to go to the Red Bull headquarters in Corona this am to meet with Dan. Dan hooked us up with  this tasty Red Bull that we will have on hand for the VIP area! Now if we could only get a few of these cars for the rodeo, that my friend would be sweet!

Don’t forget about Red Bull Flugtag USA that’s happening on August 21st in Long Beach!

Thanks to Adrian for making this all happen

Well folks, the time has come

by Lisa Ballard

Kutty and I have walked the land and all of the vendors have made it very easy to be placed. Every vendor is bringing something unique to the Hoedown, they are all very talented.

We would like to thank every person that has made this years event blow up. To see the HK flyers being rocked on so many sites and pages, has been truly overwhelming. We are more than ready for the 17th , please support our vendors- Thanks

Eternal Combustion is heading to the Hoedown

What do a bunch of loser, ex-wannabe porn star, derelicts, and dirt bags do when the world looks grim and says "you'll never amount to anything"?
Well, most go to the welfare line to collect Government Cheese, but not us. Nope. We go out and make plans for world domination! Witness the illegitimate love-child of Duane Ballard, Jason Craze, and Mike Deutsch - EternalCombustion.Where else can you go to get all the leather whips, gimp masks, and ball gags you need? How about polished aluminum butt plugs? Oh yeah, we got those too! And if that's a little too risque for ya, we also happen to have some of the bitchinest leather seats for your scoot, belts for your ass, wallets for your cash, bags for your stash and keychains for your, well... keys. Not enough? How about being the only source for the TT&Co. Troop helmets and cycle parts in North America? Still not good enough? Damn people, what's a drop-out gotta do to impress around here? Well, we also got clothing and hats and sticky crap to paste on every cop car within sprinting distance, and even bigger plans for the future. Check us out and bring us a pizza. The store's at www.eternalcombustion.com and the blog antics are over at -www.eternallycombusting.blogspot.com

From my family to yours

Have a great Easter!
