Anybody know how I can get a message to Kid Rock?
Slam some Jack, grow out your mullet, walk up to Romeo, wave a confederate flag, blast some crappy music...and hope he strolls by?
Rust Belt Studios might be a good start.
Paint the message on your barn. :cool: http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/K...f/-/index.html
You can go to his house and bang on his front door.
He actually is a very sweet personality.Quote:

If word got out that he's really just some lucky, punk-ass kid from the 'Burbs it'll crush that important persona.
I shouldn't be laughing, but I am.Quote:

I wasn't looking to start a negative thread and believe me I'm no stranger to Forums I own my own Trike forum that has world-wide membership. I was serious about trying to reach him in regard to my new motorcycle Trike project here in Detroit.
This city needs all the jobs and positive world-wide attention it can get and we [[as in Detroit) have never been globally known as a motorcycle town. But we could be if I can get this new one off the ground with Roush.
I was born and raised in Brightmoor into a family of [[20) Ford workers. I love this city and region. I've been self employed for 30 years in another business here so I know how good it was and how tough it's been. If you think "hey this guy’s just trying to get rich" you'd be wrong that doesn't make ya' happy helping others be happy makes you happy.
Kid Rock is a motorcyclist and loves Detroit and I thought he might be interested in hearing about my idea.
BTW I've got long hair no more mullet jokes...... LOL :-)
You could message him on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/kidrock [[verified page its his)
He used to be managed locally by Punch Andrews, you might get a message to him that way. His current management is in Nashville I believe. Could also try Made In Detroit. Local entertainment attorney Howard Hertz might work too. Your project sounds really cool, good luck.
Thanks for the suggestions. I know in this day and age it's hard to believe something like I'm attempting to do isn't just a self-centred enterprise. But this could put a few folks back to work and bring some very nice excitement to the world of motorcyclists. Motorcycle Trike kits for Harleys and Hondas "Made in Detroit" !!! Trikes are very popular with the older bikers for safety reasons and with those who have phsyical issues like bad knees, hips, etc.
I only met him once personally, my niece was engaged to his road manager. She had a big yard party and he came. He volunteered to do the grilling. My mom stood behind him the whole time bitching he was doing it wrong. He stayed calm and collected. One of my sisters had a huge crush on him, my husband asked to go sit with his dinner next to her and he did. I have a great shot of my Mom sitting on his custom motorcyle. He didn't mind at all.
I owe Detroit a lot and I have an opportunity to give back.
Does anybody know how to contact Vincent Furnier? Years ago he promised to build an Alice Cooperstown in Detroit and it hasn't happened. Step up, Alice!
I was JUST in a fellow's place in Sterling Heights who might be the greatest collector of Alice Cooper memorabilia ever. I'm sure he'd be up for helping any Cooperstown happen.
Good luck on your quest MCTrikes.
Thanks ...... when it comes to pass remember you heard about it here first. We may even start a Trike racing circuit. How cool would a Detroit Trike Grand Prix be?
Supermarket message board? Floodlight like Batman?
Have you checked the above-ground pool in the back yard of the Warren Mayor's Mansion?
Maybe check some big recording company office. You'll find him under the desk of some big recording executive, sucking corporate cock and gagging on millions of dollars.
Are you speaking from experience? Or are you still unemployed?
My favorite ever review of Kid Rock went like this:
One of the greatest d’bags in the history of pop music, to be sure. Here’s a rich white kid who stepped into inner-city Detroit, copped its music wholesale from its rappers — without proper credit — made DJ shtick [[oh, the irony!) of it, and then later paraded around, hair-tossing and burping up song-after-gratuitous-song of self-congratulatory horseshit. I mean, it’s perfectly fine to like yourself — God bless you if you actually do — but to be completely in love with yourself? Now that’s fucking scary. It’s as if everything in Kid Rock’s life and songs has been designed specifically to show others just how sweet Kid Rock is. ... The rich kid from rural Michigan got all trailer on us and then we saw him on stage in front of a Confederate flag, like he’s all down with Skynyrd now. After Rock ditched the lame rock-rap and slipped into white trashin’, we knew it was an easy route to big bank deposits. I saw this and went, "Oh. My. God. Why isn’t everyone pointing to this guy and screeching, ‘We’re being conned and manipulated and this guy blows!'"
Well no matter what you like or don't like I'm here to do something positive for Detroit and I would like his help.
Maybe make FIRE TRIKE for DFD.http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...psde79df95.jpg
That's quite a vehicle. Where's that from and what era? Here's a little sample of what we do now but this is NOT the new one I speak of. Attachment 21999

Somebody? Anybody?
I come to sites like this for ruin porn, not this trike porn! And I guess we got bored talking about Kid Rock, huh? I like the trikes with the 2 wheels in the front. They're safer.
KJ5 your answer falls into the "what are you talking about category". And 'NO' the reverse Trike [[or Spyder) you mention is"NOT' safer that the ones shown. They are sportier yes, but are not well suited for long distance travel [[i.e. seat and sitting position) they are underpowered and have had a history of various mechanical issues.
They are just designed for a different riding style and rider. Kind of like the difference between a crotch rocket and a touring bike like the Goldwing 1800.
You mentioned Roush as in Roush racing ? Are they showing any interest ? I know they modify Mustangs . If I were a bike fan and at my age and the shape my knee's etc. are in , this would be perfect for me . If you get Roush's attention , I'm sure they could point you in the right direction as who's best to promote your product whether it be Kid Rock or not .
The BOSS HOSS dealer closed up 94 and 9 mile.
They had nice trikes.
What makes you think there is a market here .
Yes Roush is on board to design and engineer the newTrike kit for me. I just need a little more investment capital for the actualPrototype to be built up on a new GL1800 and I'm hoping to entice someone whois a well known Detroiter to help us promote this.......................
Black Gold Man.......... the type of Trike kits we have been installing and now hopefully will manufacturer right here in Detroit are popular the world over. A lot of different motorcycles can be converted into full blown three wheelers at a price that is affordable, Harleys, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki & BMW.Quote:

Also ......and this is key lady riders can actually ride the larger bikes like Goldwings and Ultra Classic's because you don't have to hold a Trike up or put your feet down.
People who never rode before can join the fun and get a CY endorsement on their Trike. I was never a biker but 11 years ago I joined a large Christian biker group, built myself a Trike on a 2003 Yellow GL 1800 and then because I had been a car guy with years of mechanical background decided to go in the business of becoming an installer for the major U.S. manufacturers of Trike kits.
I have never ridden a two-wheeler but have over 200,000 miles on my Trikes and have ridden in all 48 states and Canada. And there is nothing more fun than toolin' around town or seeing the country on a Bike/Trike. gary
Anybody out there ever own a Trike?
Well, then my question is why would you want Robert involved?Quote:

I will assure you that if your product becomes associated with Robert, your product will be associated with shit you don't wanna be involved with.
I suggest that if your product is really a winner, you don't need a D-Bag whose on the cusp of the downside of his career as an investor.
Robert is all about the money; his last name is Richie, after all. Richie Rich. And he only gives a shit about Detroit when that money can buy him some "good guy capital" so folks like you think he's cool, something to be associated with and so that you'll over look the trash he facilitates.
I'm sure he's the bees knees and so kind to butterflies in person; however, if this DB can't see the damage he's doing by perpetuating the negative stereotype of folks around here, then he's not worth interacting or being associated with.
Personally, I think a name more fitting for him should be "Leather-Face Rock". Or perhaps, "Rode Hard and Put Up Wet Rock" . . . .
I've never met the man or know of the things you're speaking of. So I can't judge. I'm certainly not a racist you'll have to believe on that point. MY goal is to get this motorcycle trike project off the ground and put another feather in Detroit's Comeback Cap!! What does Detroit need a lot of? Jobs? Self Esteem? A feeling that we're a world class city again? Yes, Yes & Yes. I need help I'm not rich nor famous. I would welcome any and all help from every Detroiter who would offer it. I love this city I grew up here. At least I'm trying to do something..............
I've never ridden a trike but I've been lead to believe that it's more difficult to roll a reverse trike than a traditional, 2 wheels in the back trike. Quickly googling this confirmed it. Do you have an argument to the contrary?Quote:

I hope what I'm going to suggest is ok ................ visit my Trike Forum and I will post a new thread "How safe in cornering are traditional Trikes and how safe are Spyders or "Reverse Trikes?" Google "Americas Trike Forum" let's see what others say from their experience. gary
Trikes, never mind the nay-sayers around these parts. The mere mention of Ritchie is more than enough to bring out them hatesters. But whatever, good business advice never hurt anyone, so.... you'd have to go thru to many steeples to get in touch with that local celebrity known as "kid rock". In other words, if you don't have any contacts, then you're pretty much like a dog barking up the wrong tree. Said previously, Kid is on the low swing of his career. In fact, he is going to go back to his signature hip-hop/sreet-rap thing probably not too very distant into the future. In short - he don't need you and would have absolutely no incentive to get involved with being a spokesman for a bike-builder, such as you are. You might stand a better chance at trying to get in touch with Marshal Mathers, who live's local, has exhibited a very good business model, has a proven track-record or promoting things that are cool. Unfortunately, I have no contact info other than the fact that him and Kim just got back together, so maybe with some clever public records searches, you might be able to find a link. Good luck!
Alice has stepped up in the past... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov5nbZTFxpg
Well I'm sure you know the importance of having a well-known "Detroiter" as a spokesman for a boost into the public eye. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The best way now a days to come in contact in my opinion would be go on his cruise. He go's around the ship and greets some fans.He did say that he doesn't like taking pictures anymore on Howard Stern.Just like I said don't be aggressive around him,Dont act like you just saw god.He dont like that it makes him nervous. Wouldn't it you? So good luck and remember if you need me I will be KID ROCK'N UP AND DOWN THE BLOCK......https://www.detroityes.com/mb/images/attach/jpg.gif 22815453_10155618947895049_7329778770042149888_n.j pgz.jpg [[179.3 KB)Quote:

You are just one in a sea of fans who are asking for his time, money, or attention.
Donate >$10k to his senate political campaign like the rest, just make sure you write your correct phone# on the donation check & wait patiently for the call.....
I was going to say "be a trashy white 20-something female" and he'll find you.Quote:
