Before the ridiculous manufactured drama of so-called reality show motorcycle customizers, there was Arlen Ness. An Icon in the motorcycle world.

He was almost the Ed Roth of the custom motorcycle world for a while - - I REALLY Hated some of his creations - but he WAS talented

I saw him and his beautiful shorty fram Harleys in the 70's or 80's at the Oakland Coluseum at a car show. Beautiful...

RIP. An artist who used the bike as a canvas, he did some beautiful work.

That's too bad. Always thought his stuff was interesting and of higher quality than some of the later (and more famous) customizers.
