Lou Falcigno. In the june 1979 issue of Easyriders magazine I stumbled across Lou Falcigno for the first time. In the article we learned that Lou moved from Connecticut to Florida to open op a shop; yep, C&L Hog shop! That's his bike on the photo's, it was featured like that in the '79 article. The article also featured the bike of his bro Casey Maas that was built in the same style. Cool article! Stuff I later used for my own bikes are the big SU carb with velocity stack, the tough-leather seat and the Frisco mounted gastank.

Good post man, glad you mentioned Casey. My ol' man and Casey were friends for a long time and rode a lot of hard miles together. A lot of people know about Lou, but not too many know about Casey. Casey lived in NJ before moving to FL and started building that black bike you mentioned even before he moved. Unfortunately Casey is no longer around, he is missed. Enclosed in a link is on of my own personal picture of Casey and his radical panhead. This picture he had the girder up instead of the springer like the one Lou has. Enjoy the photo, thanks for the post man.

Capt. Cal, thanks. I will post the photos of Casey as well.
Do you or anybody else know what Lou is doing nowadays?
