About Greg

I grew up on a farm in rural Iowa and picked up a wrench at an early age. Growing up on the farm I learned the value of being able to fix and repair things with limited tools and resources. I’ve always seen the beauty in all things mechanical and the extreme engineering that goes into some of the most simple things we take for granted.

My love for bikes has been there as long as I can remember. At the age of 10 my sister put me on the seat of the family 1972 cb100. I could barely touch the ground, but after that you had to pry my hands off of those grips. I have the fondest memories of going to the local motorcycle dealership with my dad when I was a kid. Oh man, the smell of a new motorcycles on the showroom floor, ahhh. Of course that was the 70′s and I was way too small to ride any of them, but I could dream of one day, owning those big bikes. Seeing a showroom with brand new CB350s, CB500s, XL250s, DT250s, RD350s, Mach 5 Kawis, oh the list goes on. I can still see them parked there begging to be ridden!

I’ve spent the last 11 years at a Harley Dealership. I’ve attained my Master level 5 technician status. I’ve attended pretty much every class Milwaukee’s finest has had to offer. I love Harleys, but when I got off work and went home, I loved working on my XS650s, CX500s, CB100s on and on, it brings me back to the good old days of growing up. I can lace wheels, rebuild carbs, you name it. My bikes are some of the finest quality you will find. I obsess over perfection. Most bikes I build are show quality. I like to take once beautiful bikes and bring them back to their former glory, but I also like taking bikes that weren’t so beautiful to begin with and make them look like art. I’ve had bikes published in books, magazines and on TV shows. Most recently Discovery Channels “Cafe Racer” program. I’ve built a CX500 for one season and an XV750 virago for another.
