Happy New Years!

I don’t drink so here is some sparkling cider for you. All the fizz without the buzz!

1959 Pan/Shovel for Sale

Mike D. is responsible for bringing Wayne his first bike to build and can find the sweetest bikes to sell. The man is an honest dude! Here is his latest scoot for sale. I have see the bike in person , it is nice and clean.

Big thanks to Cicero!

Received the best Christmas present this year. Cicero Deguzman Jr. came by the house a few months back to shoot both of my bikes and the shop for his second book, GODSPEED 45/06 DOCUMENT NO. 2. I was stoked on Christmas Eve to get my official copy from him. The book is amazing and has some great guys in it, like Kutty Noteboom, Rico Fodrey, John Copeland, Jeffrey Schad, Nelson Kanno, Josh Mills, Lock Baker, and Yoshi Kosaka. I am honored to be in this line up of talented people! You can get your copy here

Working on a new website

Well finally after a few years with the same old look, I am upgrading the DB Custom Leather website. I would like to create a page featuring my finished products on your bikes or enjoying that custom wallet. I would need a quality shot, like the one above sent in by Wes D. of Trevelen. If you are down for this, please send me a email. Thanks!

DRI and the boy

Went to see DRI with Wayne, Mike and Jason at the House of Blues. DRI killed it! We never seen so many white hi tops in our lives. DRI is heading back this way and I know we will be there yet again

Merry Christmas

Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

I am happy

The talented Wes D. took this shot while I was waiting for the announcements of the winners at the David Mann Chopperfest.

Got this from Rick Fairless

 

In my book, Duane’s the best!

What a crazy week

Three shows last weekend has put me a little behind. Been busting long hour days to get the seat orders and special gifts done for the holidays. I want to thank everyone that has supported me through out the year.

Shige’s new ride for MOONEYES

Shige sent me over a email so I could check out his new CB500. Us Honda guys have to stick together.

Thanks Wes D.

Here is the panels at the event. Big thanks to Wes D. for helping us out with the shots, our camera didn’t take very good shots in here.

You were missed

We are waiting to see Paul Cox at the Art Show but that never happened. He broke down in Ohio and couldn’t make it. Paul’s painting were amazing to look at. He is a true artist. Paul helped me with my business when he decided to step away from the scene for awhile. He told his clients to go with me and I don’t think I could ever thank him enough. See you soon buddy, you were missed.

What a great weekend

I don’t think Lisa and I have ever done a weekend like this. Three days of events with a lot of fun times throw into the mix. We started by setting up at the Thy Will Be Done art show. I have never done a gallery showing but after this I really want to do more. The leather panels looked awesome in the frames and Dad’s piece  received a lot of attention. We met some of the coolest people and it was great to be able to hang out with Jeff Cochran, Lisa and Kurt Taylor, Hot Dog, Tarrera, Buckwild and Big Iron Joe. Trevelen couldn’t make it but his work was amazing. I was honored to be attached to that caliber of talent in the room. It was really cool to see SugarBear and Fuji the next night, along with Irish Rich and so many more, not to mention we finally got to meet Jesse James. Big thanks to all of our friends that came out in the pouring rain to support us, it means a lot!

Wall Panels for the Art Show

It took me awhile to get them done but I am happy with the outcome. The six panels will be on display Saturday night @ The BlackSmith Gallery, 1014 N. Parker Street, Orange, Ca.

 

Dad will be there is spirit as I am using one his drawings for the centerpiece but this item is not for sale. Hope to see you there.

We will give you a update on the show next week.

One crazy weekend ahead

We will be walking the Mooneyes event, setting up at the gallery and working the booth for the David Mann event, one busy weekend ahead. Be sure to stop by

Completed seat

Now is the time for the New Limpnickie Builders Manual

We are getting ready to throw down the Second Builders Manual. If you are interested on advertizing, please let me know. It will be available for the V-Twin Expo in February and passed out at all of the national rallies.  Click here to view Volume 1

It was bound to happen

Our friend Mike D called us the other day and gave Wayne the deal of the century. He hooked him up with an old 1973 cb750 powered chopper in an Amen rigid frame for free. So it is back to the grinding and welding but the boy will be doing most of the work. 

Once Courtney saw the frame he offered up a sweet tank to donate to the build. Thanks a lot!





So it is now time to move the gym outside so we can work on this little gem.

I will keep you updated with the ongoing progress.

Mike D. , you are a ruler!

David Mann Chopperfest

I will be set up by the Biltwell guys again this year. This is by far one of the best events in So Cal. Killer bikes, a laid back atmosphere and cool bike show. I am entering the Pink Taco this year, hopefully they get it.
