Somewhere in Michigan





"The owner of all these parts, pieces, bikes, memorabilia, and just plain cool ass shit passed away less than a month ago.  He rusted out from throat cancer, but was a mean ass son of a bitch with a heart of gold."
These pics dont even scratch the surface of what he has, I was allowed a few shots from by the family and thought I'd share.  I can tell you that there are bikes still in crates, servi-cars, knucks, flatties, and everything you can imagine in this shop. This was one shop...he had three more barn fulls.  I do know, saw, and touched on of the first S&S 110's  sitting under his kitchen table....and a Harley Prototype motor that was 1 of 2 made, the other was destroyed. One of the bikes is a Pikes Peak Special, a couple of matchless  and a couple of BSA's .  Much of this stuff is going to Australia...or at least 6 of the panheads are.
Just thought you would get a kick out of it.

exactly the kind of story and photos that makes me sleepless from thinking and wondering, if i do sleep, then i'd be dreaming about such place...

I sure had a good time with Kevin last year @ Wauseon, I was sad he was too sick to make it this year.
