I have seen this more than once. A family at a Iron works company, builds a super theme bike, goes to Florida bike week, get seen by a producer from Discovery, boom, American Chopper. After, a major facility with credit lines up the wahzoo , and well you know the rest. All the major tools and gear, that only a year before would never have happened. Next, while taking nothing away from both, two tow services one in Chicago, one in BC, gets a TV gig, then we see, new modern state of the art rigs, manufacturers want to be seen, so they supply. Again both get new facilities, and tons of credit lines, to buy even more. It’s not just Tow services and bike parts replacers and accessory assemblers, like OCC. They don’t do much in house, including paint and graphics by the way. Sure they do the sketch, but outside firms do the real etching and painting. But even radio people, get this. Example, Howard Stern, sure a raving personality in New York, but here in the restricted Mountain West, few outside the business knew of him. But BOOM, he does a movie(Private-Parts, circa 1994/95) and instant fame. Everyone was tuning into Stern’s show. I near guarantee ya’ll that would not have happened without the movie.
So what’s that got to do with us? What if WE did up a indy(Independent) film, of the club, and radio station/network. Got it into the eye balls of a major studio, can you say , bada bing bada boom, HazzardAyre?
Even the pricks and stuck up broads in Twin Falls would have to regret loosing us. Or at least think about it a second time.
Over the years and I’ll stop here with this tonight since its Christmas and all, but over the years, I have never ever seen a community or an area, that turned its back on, and gave a huge thumbs down to one of its main providers. From the word go, I don’t know of many people, outside of my Mom , my Dad, or me through the Knytes, that has done more to encourage and promote this stinking little town of Twin Falls. Hell even Big Ed, of biker stunts fame got turned down from jumping the frigging canyon, another story another time. But The Knytes have been given the stiff bird salute, over the past 4 years, yet has given more than just about if not all charities, combined. Every good project from the Quick response Unit of Hagerman, to a new firehouse there, many of the improvements in infrastructure, has been because of the Knytes. And or My Mom & Dad. The Montgomery Foundation has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to individuals that claimed one thing but really took Mom & Dad for a ride. A truck person In Wendell, built a major Hog farm operation just outside of Wendell, some $400,000.00 . His son, has yet to come to me and say thanks for what you did for my parents and me, with the loan on that Hog farm , what can I do for you? Even to give me a bay in an old shop next to his out here on Hwy 30. So wonder why the club and myself are saying enough ? The straw that broke the back of the camel, was when after two years of planning the people owning the place across the singing bridge pulled out of the sale to us for their facility that would have made the Reaper Club. I’ll have more in a day or two, but I see TV shows saluting new business’ coming into Twin Falls and the area, maybe, there ought to be a news thing of why companies and groups are moving out.
Again Have a Happy Hazzard Christmas.
See Ya’ll
