Donnie Allison of stock racing's famed "Alabama Gang" was on hand to tour the Strutmasters.com facility in North Carolina on July 18th. He was in town to have a complete EZ Rider motorcycle air suspension system installed on his personal Harley Davidson motorcycle. "I am retired from driving race cars, but I still really enjoy getting on my motorcycle," the 79-year-old Allison said. He is a Miami native who resided most of his career in Hueytown, AL. "I have heard a lot of good things about the EZ Rider air system from a friend of mine that had it installed," Allison said. "I really look forward to a more comfortable ride and the ability to raise and lower the bike. That should make it much easier to get on and off."

Donnie Allison and his amazing career

Allison was a 10-time winner in the premier NASCAR Cup Series. He was also the sport's "Rookie of the Year" award winner in 1967. He and his brother Bobby Allison were anchor members of the "Alabama Gang." The brothers got this name from their domination of stock car racing in the South for part of three decades. The Allison Brothers frequently teamed up with lifelong family friend Red Farmer. In later years they joined up with Neil Bonnett. Donnie Allison was the 1970 Rookie of the Year award winner in the Indianapolis 500. That year he finished fourth driving a Greer Eagle 67 Offenhauser for Ansted-Thompson Racing. Allison is a member of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. Strutmasters.com designs and assembles the EZ Rider air suspension systems right here in the USA. The family-owned company has been handling luxury vehicle suspension conversions for more than 20 years. An EZ Rider motorcycle air suspension is offered for most major brands of bikes and can be found on the Motorcycle page of Strutmasters.com. Installation is available by appointment at the Strutmasters facility in Roxboro, NC. However, the product comes with detailed instructions and can be installed by consumers with proper tools.
