His first and real passion was custom hand built motorcycles and trikes. Not like these American chopper catalog ordered stuff we see on TV now a days. He once started a chopper shop in the 60's way before this TV craze hit He told me, "I missed the bus on that one, Damon." I would reply, "yeah by decades Dad" But he was right. He did miss it
This trike was known as the "skull". He built it from swap meet and junkyard finds, and an old V.W. Bug rear end and motor, chicken wire, and fiberglass (which a young boy lost his plastic pool on a hot summer, for mixing purposes )
