Never been a cruiser kinda guy, but he was a huge influence in the industry.

Not my cup of tea but there is no denying his talent and influence on the industry.  He was a giant at what he did for sure.

He signed his business card and bought me a beer once at the Dime Horseshoe Bar in Sundance, WY, during the 50th Annual Sturgis Rally back in 1990. 

I shook his hand several other times after that at his shop in Dublin, CA (I lived in Pleasanton, CA for 5 years.).  He was a real gentleman and an innovator to the industry.

Short tribute ride Sunday on my 2014 Victory Vision...aka "Moby Dick - The Great White Whale"

Nothing he did ever moved me, but there's no denying his impact and he got to do what he loved...no better validation for a life than that!  :thumb:

I’m sure that’ll be the general consensus around here. I get that. But he did appeal to more people that the weird shit we ride  :laugh:
