I strongly believe that America is built and based on a well-organized and structured social system with our educational programs, procedures, and principles leading the way. Teachers and educators are a necessity and requirement for laying the roots for our country to maintain its leading edge in many categories around the world. Sure, there are other countries that may be better at math or science, but it’s hard to beat America’s overall system.

Teachers and educators work hard, and after babysitting (I mean teaching) our nice and sometimes not so nice kids all day for nine or ten months out of the year, they need some time to unwind and to relax. On summer breaks, some educators take a much needed cruise on the high seas, and some pack their bags and head to the nearest beach and lay in the hot sun, while others, like Eric “Ejay” Jordan” hops on his custom H-D Road King and rides off into the sunset.

Eric “Ejay” Jordan is an assistant principal at Bessie Coleman Middle School. He is one of those riders with strong family values, and is able to balance his time between work, spending quality periods with his wife and five-year-old daughter Erica, and riding his custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He is very passionate about his work, and believes that a quality education is one of the essentials for a successful life. His school is located in Cedar Hill, Texas, and its name is filled with pride and an amazing history. Click here to see more.

Out all of my years of riding, I’ve never run across a rider who told me that he/she was born on a motorcycle. We all have our own ways and tales about how we developed the passion for riding. Here’s Ejay’s story: “Seven years ago I got the itch to get a motorcycle and at that time sport bikes were the popular choice around town,” he said. “So I enrolled in a motorcycle safety course and received my license. I later chickened out and tried to get the itch out of my mind. It wasn’t until three years later when my wife came home and told me that her co-worker’s husband bought a Harley. I always considered Harleys as bikes for old men until we visited my wife’s co-worker’s home and I saw her husband’s Road King. After that, I immediately started doing my research on the different types of cruiser bikes. Being a huge fan of whitewall tires, that was one of my major requirements. As a result, I started looking at V Stars and Kawasaki cruisers. Being new to the world of motorcycles, I didn’t really see the big difference in Harleys, Suzukis, and Kawasakis. One day while surfing the net, I saw a beautiful black and white V Star for sale at Strokers’ in Dallas, Texas. All I remember is that it had whitewall tires, which is what caught my attention. When I went to see the bike in person, I had the sales rep. fire up the engine. There was a guy setting on the bench behind the bike and told me that it was a nice bike. After the sales rep walked off the guy went on to ask me, “Why buy something you think will look and sound like a Harley when you can just save up a little more money and get a Harley?” So I followed his advice and a month later I bought my Road King Classic from a guy I met on Cycle Trader. When I bought the bike I had no riding experience, so the guy had to deliver the bike to my house. I let the bike sit in the garage until I finally taught myself how to ride it by going up and down the alley and later around the neighborhood. It wasn’t until I started hanging around the Dallas motorcycle scene that I started coming up with ideas from websites I was driven to customize the bike. Even to this day, I constantly check different sites to get ideas or get new advice from my brothers of Second II None DFW.”

Initial appearances of this bike give the impression of a customized dresser. Somewhat hard to see that it started out as a Road King Classic. “I fell in love with the batwing fairing of the Street Glides, but didn’t want to get rid of my Road King, so I changed the paint scheme, got new wheels, added bags and top case, and a nice stereo system,” said Ejay.

Gary and his staff at OSC did most of the work on the bike, including the paint job, and adding the fairing and installing the Kenwood CD player and Infinity KAPPA series 6×9 speakers (two in batwing fairing and one in each saddlebag). Speakers kick out 110 watts each and an Apple Nano Ipod is also located in the saddlebag, and powered by a 4-channel PDX 4.100 Alpine Amp. The theme continues—loud music save lives.

The guys from Joseph’s Auto Toys installed the Alpine speakers and the Amp inside the saddlebags. Wade from Southern Hoggin, located in Houston, Texas, did the LED lights. The chrome lowers were done by Joe and his staff at Flying Tire, located in Forth Worth, Texas. Tour-pack and helmet were painted by Kirk of ColorWorks.

Ejay’s bike is in a continuing customizing process, as he sees the need to change or add special parts. He has not entered his bike into any custom motorcycle shows, but that will change in the near future. We’ll see you on the road!
