Jason "Timmy" Ball earns a living and respect as the man behind the machines at S&M BMX's fab shop in Santa Ana, California. Two machines currently reside in Ball's stable: an ironhead work-in-progress and this Revtech-powered death trap. Timmy's economical chopper boasts the same no-frills appearance and road-tested toughness as its owner, a fact that becomes obvious to anyone in Orange Country who tries to drink or ride with the man.

Jason is a regular on the SoCal chopper scene, and he's never shy about riding the piss out of either one of his motorcycles when opportunity strikes. Both man and machine were in full effect at last month's Slab City Riot, and Jason's neatly sodded campsite made a set for this week's Daily.
