ABOUT WESTSIDE TWINS MOTORCYLE COMPANY:

Westside Twins Motorcycle Company was just an idea in Spring of 2023. After recent career changes, the plan was established.

ABOUT THE WALL OF DEATH: The Wall of Death is a vintage live action thrill show featuring a silo-shaped wooden cylinder 30 feet in diameter. Inside the drome motorcycle daredevils travel along the vertical wall performing trick, fancy, and acrobatic riding. Nothing compares to seeing the show in person at the top of the 14-foot board wall, where you can smell the rubber burn and feel the wind as the motorcycles race just inches from you!
