s
o, winter is nearly covering most of our beautiful riding states in the north and projects abound. Even the holidays can’t slow down the wild dreams of the obsessive builder and the madness they live with waiting for the chance to chase down the next project bike. In an effort to bring more of the knowledge of our friends and associates from the custom industry to those ready to embark on new builds this season, we struck a deal with the Progressive I n t e r n a t i o n a l Motorcycle Shows to bring our Grease & Gears Garage to all seven of their shows across the country.
Article and Photos By:Chris Callen As I write this, we have just pulled out of the third show, in Minneapolis, and I feel like the work we are doing here is
good. Looking back at the past month we’ve already has so much great talent on the stage, and we aren’t even to the halfway
point. Names like Chris Richardson and Michael Barragan at the Long Beach Show, who brought this thing to a new level. We kicked off our War Pony project with a GSXR front end we scored right in the same neighborhood just days earlier. We had a handful of parts, including a neat little fairing from LAFCO and some shocks from Legends. It was exciting to get it going, but I was also a little freaked out since this was the first of seven shows and by the last one we have to ride the bike off stage. We did the long haul back across the country to get to the Jacob Javits Center for round two of the CYCLE SOURCE MAGAZINE - February ‘18
