The Man with Everything

Another 8x10 picture my mentor had in his stash. The Knuck pictured here was one Fox threw together for his protege of the day. Apparently the kid cleaned parts and hung around the shop. Fox built him this knuck (88") and gave it to him when he was a senior in high school.


When they were building the motor after they had the cylinders bored they were in the trunk of a car that was impounded as evidence, apparently they towed and impounded several cars for evidence.... A little birdie told them where all of the cars were being kept in an old warehouse. Later that night they went over a retrieved the cylinders along with several items of "evidence" from other cars which were impounded. The cops ended up with alot of cars, but no evidence. The knuck build was completed shortly after this chain of events with only an evening of delay.

Can you imagine a VW bus for the rainy days and a sweet knuck the rest of the time?

Road trip

After a haul to my mentors, a trip that has been planned for over two years, I was finally able to scan over 200 pictures of pure vintage choppers. Uncle Pie and Wally were in tow and helped make an excellent trip - some good stories at Foxes, and on the road.

Fox (one of three mentors) was, and is, an icon of sorts. He is pictured below in the Georgia correctional facility pants circa 1970, these pants are the real deal before they were cool Japan 40 years later.

Anyhow enjoy....

Christmas is only 11 days away....

With Christmas rapidly approaching Graylon has been putting together a substantial list. Items included a Panhead, 48 international pickup, roundtrip spring break tickets to South Padre in March … and the list goes on. Well the mall Santa told him he may want to narrow his list and set more reasonable expectations. Graylon formally wrote him a nice short letter explaining his position.
