Dano Shovelhead Showbike

Sitting at the table eating, looking up parts behind the counter, or right here in the back working on a bike. after my dad called and woke him up..that's the places to find Dano in '86.

That finger puppet seems to come out quite a bit with him, eh? Cool pic, neat focal point, and a big FU from Dano. Is that a retro Pepsi can? Maybe it has "real sugar" in it to go with the "real tobacco" in the cigarettes and the "real silica gel" in the bead blaster. REALLY.

And there you have it...although some of the details of the assembly have been unaccounted for on this blog....no pretensions, no apologies..just a vision of what someone wanted, and nicely executed by the right guy.

Choppers

Happy Mother's Day!!

Big Jim + Shovel

Big Jim had a Sportster, which I later owned for a short time. One time, when it broke down somewhere, he picked it up and stuck it in the back of a pickup truck.
This is his Shovel, which replaced the Sporty. He's still a big guy, but I don't think he coulda picked this up.

Pan/Shovel

This must be from after they started using the front door...I'm sitting in a puddle right now. Dano's El Camino daily is in the background.
