Do you consider the bike done?

Marv: No (laughing). There will always be more to do… The next step is turning it into a trike so that I can ride it more often.

How was the process of building the bike?

Marv: It all started with Scott, he knew I didn’t have the money at the time but for 2 years I stopped by Bakersfield Harley-Davidson to look at bikes. Even though he knew I couldn’t afford it, he always took the time to show me the bikes.

Of course, we could not have done this without the Bakersfield Harley-Davidson service department. Mike, the technician on the bike has spent countless hours on the project and did a great job on the along with Anthony’s help. And don’t forget the great Service Manager Rob.

Susan: Bakersfield Harley-Davidson is like family. The MotorClothes personnel are incredible. Stephanie, Rochelle and Lisa are the best and more than once kept a surprise gift from Marv a secret from me.

Marv: I’m not mechanically inclined but I’m real particular and picky and I know what I want and I want everyone to know that Bakersfield Harley-Davidson can build an incredible custom bike just how you want it.

My interview with Marv and Susan was a real pleasure. I have barely scratched the surface of their story and their bike. We at Bakersfield Harley-Davidson are thankful to Marv and Susan for choosing us to put together their dream bike. We would also like to thank the Rolling Thunder Organization for honoring us with the POW/MIA display.

Thanks Marv and Susan!
