Johnny Cash Highlights

We had a great time at the Johnny Cash show at the Ventura Fairgrounds. Lots of beautiful cars, bikes and great music!
Thanks Tory for hosting us at the show!
Check out Tory's site at: handsomedevilclothingstore.com

The day started a bit foggy but by the time the sun peeked out the beer was kicking in and we didn't care anymore.

Current project for a customer.

The proper way to check out a bike IS with a beer in your hand.

Eye candy for gearheads...

As promised the Triumph parts are back from Verne's Chrome Plating in Gardena, CA.
Check him out at: www.verneschromeplating.com

We were told that customers at the chrome shop couldn't keep their hands off the parts and from the photos I'm sure you can see why.

NICKEL PLATED TRIUMPH PARTS

Frame Neck
Rigid Frame Detail
Triumph Badges
All the Goodies
Hand Carved Sissy Bar

Triumph P-clamps

Badges

Rear brake pedal, custom kickstand and seat springs.

Gas cap and highly modified original foot peg mounts.

Fabricated from flat bar, gas tank and top motor mounting brackets.
These parts represent hundreds of man hours and attention to detail. This is what it takes to build a real custom bike.

Ultimate Motorcycling Feature

The new website went live today! Go check it out at:

Ultimate MotorCycling did a feature on Kurt and a few of his bikes in the 2012 April edition. The review was unique because it was from the perspective of a test ride not just the usual "how did you build this bike" article. He also touched on Kurt's style and his build process and created a more personal segment. Arthur did a great job and thank you to the magazine for the support!

April 2012 Issue of Ultimate MotorCycling
Check out the article at the link below:

Here are a few of our photos of the feature bikes.

The Triumph is coming..


Work on this amazing bike is nearing the finish. The platers called and all the parts will be back in our hands on Monday. The nickel plating and customs paint job is going to be the icing on the proverbial cake although I do love the look of the bare metal...

So many hours of custom fabrication went into this bike we lost track but it was worth every second when you end up with results like these. Just wait to see this bike after final assembly, it's going to be simply phenomenal.

This is just a sneak peek but I'll have more soon.
