Before the show first aired it was common for me to have some with me. I would meet up with other bike riders at events and a good time was always had.. As the show has reached this level of popularity, I don't take the chances anymore.. I'm on the road. I don't have 8 days at home to make a batch.
I will say this.. If you want moonshine,,, make your own. there is plenty of good information on the web about making it in your own kitchen. I get asked for my recipe all the time. I liken it more to a "Moonshine cocktail". I just add pure apple juice to the 'shine. add an apple slice for looks and a cinnamon stick for taste.. mix to taste. I started mixing it this way because straight shine is not for everybody.. I would mix depending on what kind of drinkers I would be around.. and yes. you can do the same with any alcohol. Its just not the same..
what is the difference between Moonshine and what they are selling at the likker store... TAXES. Moonshine is untaxed white likker. If Moonshine is taxed then it's just white likker that is being marketed as moonshine.
People ask me all the time about the other people on the show... I have never met them. Through the magic of editing I was able to do my own thing. With my own camera crew I was able to keep my own filming schedule. This year I filmed in NC, Utah and Colorado. I had no control over how they edited it all together. Some of what they did didn't make sense to me. They included some of the film from last year into season two.. As for the bikes I was riding.. I rode my CB750 chopper to the Iowa Grand Rally where I worked with Jay Allen in organizing the event. I was the Road Captain and the Director of Fun. From Iowa I went straight to Sturgis to Work that rally with Jay as well. I left Sturgis heading to Bonneville for filming. It was my plan to do the filming on the chopper but fate said no. My motor blew up 75 miles from Bonneville and I had to borrow a chopper from a friend for filming.. My chopper got hauled to L.A. and I hopped a train to get back east. Thats why you saw the different bikes. All counted we did around 28hrs of film for about 13 minutes of TV. Yes I got paid. Not what I was promised but I did get paid. I also got paid for mileage. I had 7800miles involved and I got paid to ride my motorcycles. Last year I put a little over 52,000 miles on the road. 11,000 of that was on the chopper in 4 months. My 2002 Honda VTX 1800r now has 148k on it and its still rolling strong. I think I need to retire it for a while. It has become quite popular with Law Enforcement.. lol
Below is a list of questions that I'm often asked..
Paul Livewire Bedgood How many miles do you put on in a year? How many miles does your scoot have on it?
Shannon AndBob Mlsna I noticed lead soldier was heavily used. Is that OK? I'd think silver soldier and acetylene would be the way to go.
Also, when the younger guys had the ball valve blow on the stainless rig, why didn't they have a threaded valve & just screw a plug in?
And finally, would the guys like to know how millivolt gas valves and pilots work (no elect needed) to add a bit of safety into the burners?
Mike Heyletsgosledding how is it you aren't in jail? as a matter of fact how is it that more people dont get busted?
- Shawn Graham If you play your cards right shooter .....you can probably get whiskey dick any time you want it. hahahaha
Jeff Parks are u gonig to get. A full face helmet for the next season, cause the local law ain't the only ones with your picture on their sun visor Bro.
you gonna be in Daytona next month ? Hit me up Ill meet ya for a beer somewhere.
Victoria Vallone Warning label for MSC's....Please do not operate heavy machinery after eating 3 or more... LOL
Richard Anthony Hobsin what kind of leagel liquor can be used besides moonshin yo make apple cinnonmin- Matt Jackson I use everclear to mix a batch so the quantities & tastes are good but I mix apple brandy too.
Tracy Trujillo How would I go about purchasing some Moonshine from you? Can you please post your cell phone number on here so we can all call you? Lastly.....is that really your motorcycle sir??? Thank you in advance for your quick response.
Wild Bill Ruthless Why on TV were we made to belive the Vtx broke down, the borrowed a bike, and your chopper was at the salt flats?
James Whistleman I agree with Rick. Tell them to order it from Discovery Channel/Moonshiners. I think they take PayPal.
There is a reason I am not in Jail. I have not been caught. I do not consent to the unconstitutional search of my person or vehicle. Now if a cop were to collect a quart from me as evidence then the prosecutor could use the TV footage as proof of an illegal enterprise. RICO sucks. Because of those facts, some of the filming is season two was done with water in a jug.. There have been legal issues but I am glad to say that all my time behind bars has been on a motorcycle.
I hope you enjoyed.
until we meet again.
PEACE&GREASE
