    Default RIP Arlen Ness...

    Passed at age 79.

    Iconic American motorcycle customiser Arlen Ness has died, aged 79, surrounded by his family in California.Arlen was known for his wild paintwork as well as his outlandish custom choppers, baggers and cruisers.As well as producing his own customs, he worked with several motorcycle companies, including the axed Victory Motorcycles, to produce limited-edition production models.He also branched out into riding apparel and merchandise featuring his wild designs.

    His company’s

    Facebook page
    has published this eulogy:


    It is with heavy hearts that we announce Arlen Ness the visionary, loving husband, father, grandfather and leader of our family passed away last night March 22, 2019. Arlen passed away comfortably in his home surrounded by loved ones after the most creative and inspirational life anyone could imagine.The most important things in Arlen’s life were his wife of 59 years Beverly, his children, grandchildren, friends and motorcycles. Arlen once said that “Motorcycling has been a great ride…my whole life since I’ve been motorcycling has been wonderful. I’ve met so many nice people. Friends all over the world…. We can go almost anyplace and stay with friends. It’s been great.” With few words Arlen conveyed his priorities every day, family and friends.Everyone who knew Arlen respects him for his achievements and for who he was as a person, both of which are superlatives. The respect is how Arlen came to deserve the commonly spoken nickname “The King of Custom Motorcycles”.


    Not sure why links aren't working here any more, but the full story is here:

    Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body,
    but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t
    What a ride!
