American Performance
Cycle and Big John –
remakes, repairs and
representative for BACA

This is not anyone’s favorite time of year,
but what would you say if we told you that
we had something that could turn your
winter blahs into winter WOO-HOO’s?
Well, we found it. And it’s right close in
Oklahoma. It’s American Performance
Cycle in McAlester and they can get your
American ride ready to sing this spring.
APC has parts, they do custom bikes and
upgrades as well as everyday repairs.
It’s worth a trip to see what they can do
for your American-made ride. Check
under couch cushions for loose change,
return those new clothes your partner
said you needed, sell a kidney if you have
to, then get your ride to Big John and
let him make your bike into your dream
machine for the warmer months ahead. If
you got the DIY bug, buy a kit from John
and BAM! Instant winter project! Makes
you smile just thinking about it, don’t it?
(If you don’t know the difference between
a flathead and a Phillips’ screwdriver,
we’re gonna suggest you leave the DIY
thing to the pros for a while).
Even if your job is small, APC has the
goods to get you started, or if you need
them to come get your bike, they can do
that too. Check out the teaser photos on
their Facebook page to get you motivated
to make your sickle special.
Now, we can’t stop there, cuz Big John

also has another very important gig; a
gig that trumps all bike business. John is
an International Ambassador for BACA
and has been a part of Bikers Against
Child Abuse for quite some time. Unlike
many other “charities” out there, no one
who works for BACA gets paid anything
for their efforts. It is all volunteer and
they have 501c3 status, so if you need
to get in a tax deduction for 2015, check
out www.bacaworld.org, but get ready to
shed a tear or two.
We have more to tell you about the
wonderful things Big John, APC
and BACA do, so check in with
oklahomabikernet to find out more. And
wear your mittens! Frostbite sucks!
