come out to check out the bikes. I knew I had to build a 70's "gang bike", so when it is seen from a distance they have to come out and check it out up close. Like an old fisherman once told me, "You have to chum the waters to get the fish near the boat." I love the fact that we can give them a few hours to let them hang out, check out the bikes and help them to get grounded in the Lord. A er 6 months I got the bike to a place where I could bring it to my friend Brian Dady, who has worked on my bikes since 1973 and is the owner of the Motorcycle Clinic in Kissimmee, Fl. He performed his magic on her and sent out the parts to get painted, powder coated and chromed. Brian spent many late nights making my dream come true. I remember the moment we heard her come alive for the very first me. It was quite a sound. She came out great. This bike has handcuff rear struts, a bullet shell covering the allen head bolts, razor wire on the shi linkage, a jail ta oo gun for the horn bu on, a nights ck for the suicide shi er. Oh yea, the jail cell door I made is welded on the fuel tank with an inmate looking out the door. I knew that God really wanted me to build this bike when we brought her in that first prison. About 300 inmates came out in the morning to a end the program and we passed out the 'Doin Time' chopper cards to bring back to the dorms. In the a ernoon the rest of the prison came out just to see the bike. For the past five years we have been going in with R.O.O.T. (Running Out Of Time) Motorcycle and Prison Ministry. Debbie and Tom lead around 30 bikes into Florida prisons monthly. We spend the en re day out on the yard with the bikes. It gives us plenty of me to speak and witness to the inmates. They have a table with plenty of free Bible studies and books. It is very special that all the inmates and volunteers hold hands in a large circle and pray at the end of each day. Rain, shine, freezing or steaming hot R.O.O.T. goes in. Up to date Doin' Time Chopper has been in 125 prisons, has won over 30 bike shows and is s ll turning heads when we bring her out in public. When we bring her in a prison I believe the officers love her just as much as the inmates. I am always ge ng some kind of contraband to install on her. I know God is all over this bike. Who gets to bring a bike that has 2 shanks, a ta oo gun, a mace gun, 3 brass knuckles, 4 jail keys and razor wires all over it into prisons? Only God can. Some mes we need to listen to God even when we don't understand the outcome. 32 WheelsOfGrace.com Issue 35
