I found this old Custom Chrome box the other day in a pile of parts. That company wasn't bad back in the day - now, I don't know what to think of them - a bunch of junk mostly.
Coming soon: Peoria, Indy, Davenport and Springfield !
They never really did do much with bicycles . . . but, their motorcycles aren't too bad (at least the old ones).

My new buddy Jason, from the great state of Texas, built(and restored) this totally rad ironhead. Many of the parts were from his dad - who bought the stuff back-in-the-day from Arlen himself. Nice job !
She gave me a free, cold one . . .
This guy is one very cool Canadian. He's also quite the horseman - and his kid Daniel builds bitchin' knuckles.I hope to see him again next year . . .
I just heard Billy Lane got sentenced today - Aug. 14th, 2009.
I had almost forgot Samantha Morgan was gone - until I saw this tribute last week. I met her once with Goth Girl in Sturgis at Lavallee & Spina's paint booth, and saw her ride many times. The first time I saw her ride the "Wall of Death", I just couldn't believe her skill. She could ride a motorcycle. We talked for a minute or so . . . but, we kept getting interrupted because everyone knew her, they were friends from all over - a true VIP. When I heard she was sick and had passed - I was taken aback a little - 'cause she seemed so invincible. I saw the "Wall" crew in Davenport this spring - and said hello to Jay . . . (who's had his own bout with health problems). It's a rough life on the road riding the wall - but, they will always be our true heros - in life and in death.
Spina checks out the pool situation at County Line . . . quite refreshing. Just have a seat and a busty babe will swing by and take your drink order - damn !

Stopped in to see Cole and the boys - what a place ! Pre-1929 Harleys, Indians, Popes, Cyclones - totally cool. A very professionally run operation. Museum and collectibles up front - and high end restorations and machine shop in the back. I saw the "Wheels Through Time" rig parked out back and realized - Hey, this is the place they told me about. I could work here !?!?
