| This is a pen & ink line drawing of me, on the '65 Harley, that was done by Lorraine Turner Tranter. She didn't know me when I owned the bike and drew this years later - thus the difference between the photo above, showing me with my 70's sideburns and mustache, and her depiction with my 80's beard. |
| 1965 HARLEY CREDITS All Fabrication, Constuction, Engine Building and Paint by Stu Segal |
| Raked, stretched, mandrelbent exhaust, cut/sectioned gas tank, girder fork (and, ok, I couldn't get away from the silver on gray paint). NOTE: I was really proud of the paintjob (which I did in the bathtub - Kathy was pissed). |
| This was roughly 20 years before the Swedish Longbikes/30 years before the Jesse James choppers. In the early 70's there really wasn't much of a bike culture, so I just built what I liked (everyone thought I was nuts at the time, but 30 yrs later they were paying 30, 40, 50 grand for bikes like this). |

| I only built one bike in the 70s, a '65 Harley. |
