Growing up here in the Bay Area, I followed his talents as he has been a big part of the Custom community since I was a young man. His work could always be seen at the Oakland Roadster Show. His new shop was right down the street from were I worked, well not really all that new now, in Pleasanton is a museum upstairs from the parts counter, something to see if you like customs. He would show up at some of the local poker runs from time to time, always very personal when guys/fans would walk up and say hi to him. Back in 2000 I built a 81 Shovel Head, several Ness parts were used on it. I would get paid on Friday, cash my check and swing by his shop and buy another piece. Took awhile since he was about the most expensive for anything billet and chromed, but pure quality. Sadly I sold that bike last year, I never rode it and wanted someone to enjoy it as much as I had. Plus my wife hated sitting on the back, It had what is referred to as a pee pad for her to sit on, it was all about cool looks for that bike, not comfort. She will only ride on my other bike a Roadglide, very comfy. RIP Brotha, you were a Master at what you did,,,Gregg
