Harley Teams With Build Moto So High School Students Can Make Motorcycles

I couldn't even study Spanish in high school. But thanks to Harley-Davidson, the students at Tomahawk Wisconsin can learn how to build motorcycles from scratch. More specifically, the 'Hatchet Choppers' teamed up with Harley to learn about tech skills as a byproduct of assembling motorcycles. 

Speaking about the formation of the Hatchet Choppers, Mentor and Harley-Davidson employee, Jim Brown, said, “I called BuildMoto and I contacted them and said, ‘I noticed all your teams are in Milwaukee, we’re up here in Tomahawk, can we have a team?’”

After this conversation, it wasn't long before the Hatchet Choppers were tasked with turning a street-legal motorcycle into a flat tracker. All of this is done in conjunction with Build Moto, which is a non-profit organization that helps to build trade and life skills through motorcycle fabrication and lays the foundations of the build competition.
