Wishing this awesome wife of mine, @miss_mundy a very happy birthday! I’ll never forget the moment on our first date we discovered we shared birthdays a day apart. It’s a small thing we bonded over at the start (also Death Proof ☠️) and who could have thought many years later we’d share and bond over so much more together! Love you!

Surprise! @miss_mundy and I made a last minute decision to make a run to @fuelcleveland. Great show as always, awesome collection of bikes! We got to see @pedro_and_bettys_big_revival Charity Chop in progress in person! It was great hanging with Frank and Mike, thanks for the shade and water at your vendor spot! Here’s a few quick photos from the day. Kate and I even took a train ride in the afternoon. Back to Jersey in the AM!

Hey gang! It’s been a while since I last shared any updates on shop work. I haven’t been able to work on much since selling my dad’s place last November. However, I’ve been slowly working on getting all my equipment back up and running and creating a somewhat functional workspace for now. That said, I’m excited to announce that I’ve made the first sissybar in the new spot, and it’s all for a good cause! A little background... Kate and I met Frank of @pedro_and_bettys_big_revival last year @fuelcleveland and we instantly connected over Honda Shadow choppers. Frank and Mike are real grassroots garage chopper buildin’ dudes out of West Virginia and throw down the miles on their Shadows. These guys have class and character. In a world drowned in chopped Harley’s, it’s cool to meet people that “get it” with building metric bikes. They may be cheap and easy to acquire, but to be built right and look good, is not for the faint of heart. So! Frank and Mike have a new chopper build underway! They have been working tirelessly on a wild VT600 Honda Shadow chopper that will be raffled off in October to benefit the @sweetjuliagrace foundation. This foundation’s mission is to provide support with day-to-day needs for families with children who are seriously ill, have special needs, or are currently facing a medical crisis. If any of you know my brother Ray, you know this kinda thing is close to my heart. So, we had a quick chat with the guys and they sent us their design and a mock-up bar to pull measurements from. We then turned their dream bar into an all-polished stainless reality. I thank Frank and Mike for the opportunity for Kate and I to make a contribution towards this. Within the next week or so I’ll be posting a video of how this sissybar was built start to finish. We wish these guys safe travels to Fuel Cleveland this weekend! If ya’ll are out there be sure to pay a visit to their booth and check out what they’ve been building and their own chops, “Pedro” and “Betty”! #stainlesssissybar #pedroandbettysbigrevival #fuelcleveland #retrofitcycleworks #choppers #vt600chopper #hondashadow #charitychop
