Kevin comes to his chopper building abilities through his father, a man who built a Panhead chopper in 1970 - the first time choppers were cool. Kevin applied what he learned from his father and his own bike-building experiences and put together a bike-building shop class at Kennedy High. \"I wanted the kids to learn how to build real motorcycles,\" explains Kevin. \"Not kit bikes or cookie-cutter bikes, but bikes that regular people can build and afford.\" Kevin's Knucklehead is his own version of a real bike. \"I brought it to class and let the kids put it together.\" Ultimately, Kevin Baas is the shop teacher we all wish we had in high school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 10.9 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67959676108952,"sku":"9781935828006","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/tuj2uPsxB_9781935828006.webp?v=1794289879","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobookstore.com\/products\/how-to-build-an-old-skool-bobber-2nd-ed-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
