In 2018 when the Greasy Dozen had announced they were looking for 12 builders to complete half-finished motorcycle projects, I didn’t really even consider it. Running my shop has kept me so busy that I figured I would never have time to build this bike and keep up with the work load I already had. After all, this was why the bike wasn’t finished in the first place. I saw people entering pictures of their half-finished projects daily on Instagram. Then one day, I was just looking to post something up on Instagram, so I posted a picture of my half-finished bike. Now I was officially entered into the Greasy Dozen, pool of hopefuls. I had no intention of building a bike for the Greasy Dozen and never even thought I would be picked. Next thing I know I see a post up of the 12 bikes picked and lo and behold I was one of them! My first thought was what the hell did I get myself into. It was an honor to be picked but I wasn’t sure I could handle the stress of building this bike and keep up with part orders. Also, my bike was put into the café classification, and I was intending on going with a more board tracker look. I contacted Bear from @oldbikebarn and explained this to him, surely I would have to bow out of this and all my worries would be gone. No such luck, Bear tells me they liked my entry so much that they just threw it into the café class just to get it in.
