That first bike was absolutely amazing.  Just... Wow!

It really is a shame that someone with that much talent cant get the work to keep doing it.

Doug is an artist, and a real standup guy.  I bought a set of his megaphones and if I ever sell the bike, the buyer will get the fat fugly stock exhaust.  I'll hang the megaphones on the wall in my living room.

I saw an arc fab exhaust that I wanted bad.  It was kind of like the exbox but I like the shape of the can better.  I would have bought one in an instant but he needed my bike for a while...  no off the shelf production line system :(  I just couldn't afford to ship my bike across the country and wait for a custom built system, but he does do great things.  Beautiful bikes.

I know allot of people (including myself) who wanted to purchase parts/exhausts from ARC Fabrication but their emails and phone calls were never returned.
I myself emailed and called around 10 different times and never got ahod of anyone, so I gave up (like allot of others did)..
This was all still while he was in business, and before he moved...

The red one is real familiar.

Doug built it in my barn.



Do you know if the guy that claims to have paid to have that bike built ever received it?

Last I read the bike disappeared along with Doug.

I heard that he has and he's happy, but it was not FH.

Coal mine??  WTF?

Doug is an experienced welder, and I believe trained in underwater welding as well.  I find it hard to believe someone with that experience is in a coal mine.

That being said, I have been waiting to pull the trigger on a biz effort which could use that kind of welding skill.  I had a kit done by him for a Pantah, and it turned out that was while he was falling apart.

Pisses me off to no end.  Whatever shit he got into can be gotten out of.  He has skills.  I mean, unless he sold his spleen to the Russian mafia...

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Lots of things are difficult to explain.

You have to know him.
