Carter

This is an old photo of one of our best family friends, from way back - "Killer" Carter. He lived down the street next to the DQ when he was first married. He had a wicked '57 Chevy and a liking for fast ironheads. Here's a pic on his stroker Sportster with disc brakes (Hurst Airheart in '73), S&S stroker flywheels, R&M header, you name it - it probably had it. A very unique custom for the time period. Sometimes he'd have a hard time kick starting it - so, he'd call Noot, who'd walk down the block and start it for him - or Carter would just push it down to Noot's house. Cool. This motorcycle went through a variety of transformations - one of which is shown here. Carter still rides Harleys and has owned XLCRs, a Buell, dressers, stroker superglides - and lately can be seen on an FLHX. He's still in the biz.
