OK Now For Some Bike Pictures

Ace Frehley On My Bike in 1990
I rarely if ever loaned this bike to anyone!!!

I still have this bike, I have had it for 39 years.
 

This picture was taken in front of the Briarpatch in Carmel, NY.
I used to drive this bike into the club, down a couple of stairs, onto the dance floor
with Dino Fregosi standing on the back seat to open one of his wild shows.
I remember doing donuts in the Mosh Pit & spinning around like a wildman.
 Just thinking about those days makes me feel younger!!! 

 

  My 1950 Panhead in 1969

Would ya' just look at this picture of me.   I still had a full head of hair and hadn't gotten fat yet.

I sure thought I was Joe Cool, I was 19 in this picture (1969).
I was workin' in a band, riding hogs, womanizing & partying like an animal.

I quit the band, got married started building Custom Choppers for a living. Soon I became the workaholic that I am today. 

In the 70's, I quit the bike business to open up a little music store.
It was called Eastcoast Sound eventually we got so big we had to call it a Mall, Eastcoast Music Mall

My old bike business is still alive & well. It was called SMC Choppers Today it's called V Twin Cycles & It's located in Newburgh NY.
The next thing I knew I was building guitars  working 14 hours a day!!!

Where did I go wrong ???
