Sucks it’s been on and off raining but still decent crowd I’d say. A lot of good people here for sure. I always like BS’n with old bikers. They have the best stories. Lol

I saw brook and BS’d with him for a while. You Should’ve rolled. It drizzled til 11. Sunny and nice now. They’re at about 70% sales from last year because of the rain. 10015ish show bikes instead of the 150 last year. Still good show. Good people.

I took delivery on a Suger 37 over springer 2 years ago that's mocked up on a rigid Hardtail Chopper frame. Best springers on the planet, he's a one man show at his shop.

100% best springier front ends on the planet. He’s a cool mo go! He’s had that black bike FOREVER! Things sick.

I rode up to that show from LA years back. Bitchen show!

I have this original David Mann painting hanging in my bedroom View attachment 823824
When David Mann lived at the Easy rider ranch in Malibu he was buddies with a friend of mine that lived down the street and would roll up and hang out all the time. He and his wife were cool people. Super laid back, chill. I was young (19) and didn’t really realize how cool it was to actually know him. This was like circa ‘94. He was a big influence on me getting into riding harleys and buying my first bike the next year.

Bitchen story! I've dug his paintings for as long as I remember

Danny visited him on Counting Cars one episode to buy front fork set up.....Really cool laid back talented guy for sure:D

Yeah, he's super chill. I hadn't seen him since an easy rider show I was at around 99. Bought a shirt from him back then. I BS'd with him this Sunday a bit. Super cool guy. I dig his builds. Totally my style of lower stance choppers instead of the really radically high head tube style of the 70's.
