Hey Kevin Bass here, vintage bike addiction. We're here at Bass Acres looking at uh my 1957 Panhead and it's actually my son's 57 Panhead now. And there's a cool story of that. This bike I built back in about 2004 5 era. I was working on uh bikes with my students in class. First big Twin Panhead. This bike bike is uh been all across the country and it's changed hands a few times. Most recently uh actor Jason Momoa Aquaman uh was here doing some Harley videos and he bought the bike and once he got the bike and he started talking about the history with my, my family. He decided he wanted to give the bike back and have it in my family and he gave it to my son. So pretty cool. This bike has a lot of soul. A lot of memories for me as a young builder, as a young guy getting out there trying to pound the pavement, talk about what I do with the class and get some traction and now that it belongs to my son and has that cool story of being in California for a couple of years. Uh my good friend Josh, her man, a little monkey tattoo, owned it for a few years but that it came back around full circle. It's in the family again for hopefully forever is pretty cool. So this 57 pan is actually gonna be heading to Milwaukee for mama tried bike show. Uh What's cool is that this bike was picked by the founders Warren and Scott as one of their invite builders for this year. The show is an amazing, amazing collection of all kinds of cool bikes. Uh, new ones, old ones, ratty ones, shiny ones. You name it. You go there, you're gonna see some cool stuff. Yeah. One thing really cool about the mama tried bike show is that they hand pick all these bikes. They all have a cool story just like this one does and I'm gonna look forward to be there seeing all you there and you can go out and meet all the builders. Hear about those stories. Look at the bikes up close, um, and have a great time and make memories. So we'll see you there.
