as we walk in, fellow rider Kevin Thompson is there to give us the nickel tour whilst the two who run the shop tend to the business at hand...in this pic, Kevin sits astride a custom chopper that won a biker build off...

replete with no left hand front brake lever, this bike is stopped by actuating a left foot dual clutch and brake lever ~ half way down the clutch is actuated whilst fully down the rear and front brakes are applied...the shifter is a suicide left hand shifter which terminates in an ivory like ball at the end of the shaft that snakes down to the crankcase side...if you ever want to see the most meticulous job of clean frame and fork welds as well as glass smooth black powder coating, this would be it...unfrigginbelievable indeed...
