35 year old Welding Engineer/ Professional Fabricator residing in Patterson CA,  Married with a now 6 month old little Boy Eythan.  I am a total metal maverick.  I am in to Hot Rods and Motorcycles.  I cam across the Hard Knock over a year ago and seen a huge need for aftermarket parts.  So I dove in head first and established Deldovacycle.com to display, educate and sell my one off parts for the Hard Knock. I have ridden every year Hard Knock produced since 2006 and I am a full time Knockelhead. I own a 06 and a 07 Iron Rog Flint Bike. I am also a active Mountain Biker when I am not wrenching on Hard Knocks. Dave cam up this PCKO idea several months ago and has consumed our life’s to make this 1000 mile run on Hard Knocks happen. Stay tune more to come in the coming months.

 cvbChris McCammon (a.k.a chromeVSblack)

37 year old IT communication specialist, but a Hardknocker and all around outgoing guy in life.  I fell in love with these Hardknocks over 2 yrs ago.  I love custom bikes, the more it looks handmade the better. I can’t leave things alone I always have to change and modify even when I say it’s done, it’s not really done.  I’m very excited and honored to be part of this event, riding with a great group of people from Seattle to San Fransisco is going to be a great adventure.  I’m really excited that we have teamed up with such a great organization as ADA.  The work they do deserves our support and donations. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington  riding hand built 200cc Kikker Hardknock. “Keep on Knock’n in the free world”

 Fast loving, hard knocking, cinnamon sprinkler (aka Cinnamon Luv) from the Nor Cal. Been bad for the past 33 yrs and the Knock is just another chapter in my bad ass life. When I’m not knockin I’m wrenching for my next ride. I came across the knock in June of 08 and not only found a cool bike but new found friends across the states. I will be riding the “Cherry Bomb” powered by 125cc of raw power.
