The Military Bobber was Raffled Off @ Broken Spoke Saloon During Biketoberfest

Gary Zorn purchased his winning raffle ticket at Rick Fairless’ Strokers Dallas motorcycle dealership to support the Intrepid Fallen Heros Fund and won the bike during Biketoberfest on Friday, October 16th at the Broken Spoke Saloon.

Earlier in the year, Gary was in Dallas visiting family and decided to checkout Strokers. He is a big supporter of the military and purchased three tickets, one for him, one for his son and one for his son-in-law.

Gary currently rides a 1995 Fat Boy and is looking forward with great expectations in adding this Digger Bobber to his stable.

“I’m getting calls from family and friends saying that they want to help me out by riding the bike for me,” said a laughing Zorn. “And since this bike represents so much, from supporting the troops to American ingenuity, I will be sharing it with my buddies.”

Award Winning Military Bobber

“There are so many individuals that I would like to thank in contributing time and effort in this project,” said Dar Holdsworth, Brass Ball Bossman. “They include Howard Kestenberg for getting the project rolling, Keith Ball of Bikernet, Chris Callen of Cycle Source, Ray Wheeler, Wacko, Bob Kay of A Bikers Garage, Rick Fairless of Strokers Dallas, Saddleman, Jay Allen of the Broken Spoke Saloon, my wife, our Brass Balls’ team and Sal Digiacomo.”

The Brass Balls’ Digger Bobber features an army green paint scheme and the logo of each branch of the service etched into the open primary, dramatically highlighting all five branches. The frame is clear coated to show off the welds and construction… a no nonsense military style.

Manufacturers that contributed to the original build of the Digger includes John White of Crazy Horse for his stunning V-Plus powerplant, Jeral Tidwell on his creative paint theme, Hawg Halters for controls, Crime Scene Choppers for their headlight and air cleaner, Tauer Machine LLC. for the open primary, Scott Webster of Leroy Thompson for the hammered brass signature series grips, and Rich Phillips with Bikersaddles.com for the hand tooled leather seat.

The award winning motorcycle won the Military Bike Build-Off in Branson, Missouri held on May 15-18, 2008. Howard Kestenberg purchased the bike for the Intrepid Fallen Heros Fund and Brass Balls spearheaded the raffle program.
