RIP Arlen NESS..
« on: March 23, 2019, 04:24:07 PM »
 I have to say, if you were ever into choppers , he was a big influence..
Maybe not for everyone, but he certainly brought some cool ideas forth, and it influenced many others. 
 He sure built a lot of very cool stuff. 
 And he was innovative on the marketing and business end of things,  which  provided him with a very cool life..
 All because he loved motorcycles  and loved creating new and exciting stuff. 
 RIP......... I will have to get some Jose Cuervo Gold .......and have a few shots while I think about some ofvthe things he did.
 Glad, I got to meet him .. and visit the old store..

I been thinking about Arlen a lot. 
 It was really nice how easy going he was around people and he always had time to chat a bit. 
And he never ran out of great ideas.,

 Here is a shot of me today

      I never was much into the choppers, but I have to admire his ideas & his work. He was definitely a "Master".  Never met him,  but the times I have seen him on TV, he always seemed outgoing & a friendly sort.

                                                                        R.I.P.  Mr. Arlen Ness.
