A man with great enthusiasm for old skool bikes, Kevin Baas is a full time shop teacher at a High School in Minnesota. Kevin comes to his chopper building abilities through his father, a man who built a Panhead chopper in 1970, when choppers were cool. Kevin applied what he learned from his father and his own bike-building experiences and put together a bike-building shop class at Kennedy High. "I wanted the kids to learn how to build real motorcycles," explains Kevin. "Not kit bikes or cookie-cutter bikes, but bikes that regular people can build and afford." Kevin's Knucklehead is his own version of a real bike. "I brought it to class and let the kids put it together." Ultimately, Kevin Baas is the shop teacher we all wish we had in high school. See less
