But before heading back to Chicago in my ‘60 Plymouth, I reached a deal with the son: his beat-to-crap Bultaco and a really nice three-bike trailer for the logo.

When I presented the logo that I had designed to the father and son, I bumped my price up to $500. That’s when phase three of the molding process was done, and I had to prepare another set of molds for the oven. Or learn to ride a motorcycle–that the owner’s son owned–on the company’s back lot, twenty minutes at a time. I had a weekend job at the firm in which I would fill molds with resin, hit a switch, set the casting process in motion, and then twiddle my thumbs.

Nice fiberglass tank and fenders, no cracks, but the paint is chipped some.
