There's only one SLIM

Spent some time with Slim,of Slim's Fabrication, who is a true friend and brother. He's happy to be working and apprecaites those who keep him busy with builds, fab work and parts. 

You see my friends, NONE of us are rock stars, just a bunch of people working day after day to provide the best for our clients and customers. There's no time to get big headed, count your blessings, stay humble and let your customers know you appreciate them.

I thank you for believing in our dreams, supporting us and our friends. 

Have a great weekend

Look closely

Many try, only few succeed

I had a photo-shoot with a racing legend yesterday, the only and only Wink Eller. He’s a land speed record holder, who has accomplished 67 records with 14 still on the books. We received a very impressive shop tour and watched him work on his latest build for Bonneville, hoping to top 224 mph this year. This man has been chasing his racing dream since 17 and I don’t think he will ever stop. I studied him carefully as he worked on the bike, he always seemed to be in deep thought but once we started talking about Bonneville, his face would light up and his eyes would sparkle like a proud parent.  His life motto is “live life everyday because you never know if there will be a tomorrow.” He was born and raised in the hills of NC, you can tell that manners and values have a purpose with Wink and he cherishes his family and friends. It was very humbling to be in his presence.

I love meeting people like Wink and would like to thank him, Dee and the guys for allowing Duane and I to spend quality time with them.

Do me a favor and follow him on Facebook

Next issue

I shot our good friends Crusty and Fred for the next issue of Cycle Source. They have been riding for over 30 years and built this little machine.

Sunrise Cycles

Be sure to check out my latest feature on Sunrise Cycles in the June issue of Cycle Source. I shot the bike and Mike D. wrote the article. I would like to thank Kosuke for giving me the opportunity to cover the shop and bike.

If you are looking for a vintage build, make sure you give him a shout.

Shop feature

I had the opportunity to visit Classis Cycles in Orange, Ca for Cycle Source.  If you are looking for a shop that can repair vintage British motorcycles , be sure to check them out. These guys are the real deal and I would like to thank them for their time.

                               

Loving the veiw

I did a photo shoot on Saturday with some local boys and used the lake as a back drop. Loving the snow covered mountains!

My best mate

 

I had to tie down a bike that represented the So- cal scene for this month’s issue of Cycle Source. I had one bike in mind but it was in Japan. So as soon as we set up Duane’s booth, I went to talk to Dean. I was honored and so happy that he said yes. So we rolled the bike out to the street and used all of the hotels as a backdrop.

The hotel in the background is the Yokohama Grand, which is where we stayed.

I really want to thank Dean for giving me the opportunity to shoot his bike.

Wicked Pissa!

I have to send out a huge thank you to Zach at Chop Shop Cycles for hooking me up with some of his gear. Zach has been a great friend and he helped Duane dial in Funkenstien before the Smoke Out East many moons ago. 

Be sure to check out the latest issue of Hot Bike as his sweet little Hustler is one of the featured bikes! Way to go! ( The Hustler is for sale if you are interested?)

Zach is a great guy and his shop will take care of all of your motorcycle needs. From ground up builds to any type of modifications to your daily rider. Chop Shop Cycles located in Milford NH and they are wicked pissa!
