I was born in Freeport, Long Island, New York and at the age of 12, saw my first motorcycle club ride and that’s all it took. By the time I was 20, I had saved enough money to buy my first motorcycle, a 1961 Harley-Davidson Panhead, paid $2000.00 for it. Over the years I had rebuilt the engine, transmission and rewired and refined every part on that bike. I’m retired now and the enjoyment I get from people looking at the workmanship and detail in this machine is just amazing. In 1999 I moved to Florida and decided to make it a show bike. The award’s and trophy’s I’ve won makes the expense and building time all worth it. The frame and the tins were painted by my son at H.G.H. Custom Cycle in New York. The chrome was done by Classic Chrome in Florida. My parts and accessories are from Rolling Thunder Cycles in Hempstead New York and I want to thank everyone for the time and help they have given me.
