Dave Mann Story
During the 1970's if you were a biker or even thought about being one, you knew Dave Mann.Wherever there were bikers there was Mann's work gracing the walls,tables,or clubhouse's across the world.
Dave Mann blessed the centerfold of Easy Riders Magazine for years and remains as The Greatest Biker Airbrush Artist that ever lived.

I along with countless others looked forward each month to the New addition of Easyriders,and upon opening it,like Playboy,Dave's Centerfold was the first stop,and would be revisited again and again for inspiration,desperation,or plain admiration and conversation.
Here is a small tribute to Dave.Thank you Dave for the decades of inspiration and comfort you have given to myself and others.You are truly missed

Easy Rider - Smith - The Weight
Looking back this movie was a far greater influence on me than I had imagined.Later on I also became an incredible fan and admirer of the late Dennis Hopper and his circle of friends.
It may not seem such a fantastic thing in this day of instant communication and easy media access ,but in 1969 at the age of 13 this movie (watched at a Drive In Theater) was the my saving grace,and a hope for escape in the future.Two years later I owned my first chopper to be a 1959 XLH Sportster purchased for $500.00. and Yes It was road worthy..:)
