He put a hell of a lot of miles on the bike, averaging about 25,000, but one year they made 34,000-that's over twelve times across the country! "Through all those hard miles it only left me afoot twice, both times due to failed aftermarket motor parts that could not handle the miles." Like various people have said for hundreds of years, sometimes the old ways are best. Maybe they really don't make them like they used to.
Three years ago, the Pan was rebuilt from the ground-up. "I figured this'd be the last rebuild, so I spiced up the technology a little," he said. After stroking the motor to 80 inches using S&S flywheels, rods, and pistons, he also tucked in an Andrews "A" grand cam, an auto advance distributor, and an S&S Super E carb. The Pan now sports an H-D Springer frontend and 26-inch apes, attractive accent flames garnishing the black sheetmetal. Breaker's got a couple of bikes set up for trips of varying distance, but for short hops around town and anything under 300 miles, the Nomad Pan gets first call. "Stock Evos can't keep up with it," he said, the pride in his ride evident in his voice. "It's as dependable as ever."
Kim and Breaker own BKRR Enterprises, Inc, and they build a couple of shop bikes every year to showcase the business. The Panhead, however, was not built for that. "It's our daily rider," he said. "In this modern age of motorcycle technology this bike is a dinosaur, but it has proven to me and many others that old iron can still be ridden the way it was intended to be...if you know how to build them!"
