There is a lot more to the story below, but this is the basic reason I am proud to have had several of my painted motorcycles featured in National Motorcycle Magazines, and even one in England and another in Hong Kong.

Below is an article from the HSTA Motorcycle Club Newsletter I have been a member of since 1982.  A lot of the information is outdated, but basically the way it is today.

 

I also had built a custom chopper for an Arab Sheik for him to take back to Saudi Arabia.  I have had motorcycles I built & painted on the covers of four National Motorcycle Magazines, and have had five of my creations as features in those magazines.

My most prestigious award was winning the "Best of Show" award and trophy at the 1980 International "Star Trek Convention" held right here in Phoenix, Arizona.  More pictures to follow if anyone is interested. Thank all of you for asking.
