Release Summary: Special-Ops Solider Ash Spurlin stationed in
Afghanistan, rewards his hard work by having custom chopper built
by Guilty Customs.

Press
Release Body: The sudden clamor of two inbound HH-60 Blackhawk
helicopters cut short Ash Spurlin and
his squad’s hushed conversations. Spurlin, a Special
Ops Squad Leader with the US Army, ordered his men to start
their final gear check and to form a circle of security around the
landing zone. Once the area was secured, Spurlin marked their position
with an infrared strobe. The Blackhawk’s landed easily. Within
60 seconds, both helicopters and men were airborne.
No lights, no talking, just his own thoughts to deal with for the
next fifteen minutes of flight. With the side doors open, the cool
Afghan air was a nice break from the stifling heat on the ground.
Spurlin positioned himself with his legs hanging out the side door
of the Blackhawk and used his night vision goggles to scan the area
below for possible hostile fire. The wind pushing against his helmet
and moving his pant legs only reminded him of riding his Road King
back home in California. No lights, no talking, just thoughts of
cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway. No sweaty body armor, or
M4 rifle, just a t-shirt, boots and his favorite jeans. Instead
of the heinous helicopter engine, it was a V-Twin roaring. Right
then Spurlin knew that while he couldn’t control when he would
return home, he could still make plans for what he would do once
there. He would ride his newest custom built chopper!
As
his helicopter touched down on the rooftop of a Taliban stronghold,
all six men looked at one another, each knowing what the other was
thinking, but no one saying a word. Within seconds the men are out,
the helicopters are gone, and so are the thoughts of grabbing that
V-twins throttle. Anyway, this is a different type of adrenaline
rush. The mission completed, Spurlin debriefs his superiors, eats
and logs onto his Yahoo account. He is intent on finding from friends
in the industry who they’d recommend for his next build. That’s
how he found Guilty Customs and Errant, his next
and third custom motorcycle.
Errant,
part of Guilty Customs “Last Chance” line,
caught Spurlin’s attention with its 70’s dragster styled
influences. Spurlin comments about his decision to have his next
chopper built by Guilty Customs: “Since
I had two bobber styled bikes that were similar in looks, I wanted
something different, but dependable and affordable. One of my friends
told me about Guilty Customs so I called and spoke
with Cj. We talked for about an hour. I didn’t feel like as
it was a business call, which is when I knew 100 percent, this company
was the kind of business I’d always heard my father and grandfather
talk about. Not cookie cutter $65,000 choppers or assembly line
bikes, but actual one-on-one discussions about my next bike.”
“Having
the opportunity to build a bike for Ash is an honor. We are extremely
proud that he will be riding a Guilty chopper”
says CJ Hanlon, owner of Guilty Customs. “Each
time we speak with Ash, either before or after a mission, it poignantly
reminds us of the sacrifices these soldiers (and their families)
are making to defend our country. Even the companies that supply
our parts have a unique interest in this build. Everyone wants to
make this bike really special for Ash.”
Spurlin
and Hanlon have even started talks about a cross-country ride to
raise monies for the widows and families of soldiers killed in battle.
It gives us one more reason to want to see this soldier return safely
home.
