My favorite of all the bikes I painted for that guy was 'Van's Shovel'.

The pics on his site really don't express how it looked. The thing was on fire. I have pics of the pieces under incandescent lighting that really bring it to life.

It was the first flake job I ever did and it was perfect...really.

I'll never do any better.

Van's Shovel


Nice.  This is definitely one that I'd like to see up close to fully appreciate.

The bike was being shot for the Wall Street Journal leisure section.

The photog figured the wall street types couldn't handle the flash...

so he dumbed it down.

This is how it looked in incandescent light pre pinstripe...the pics don't show the hand done (not by me) gold stripe...even wilder in the sun.

It was truly alive.

I did some other bikes for him that moved me in the color realm. He's removed it from his site.

Van was the customer of that bike. I actually got to meet him and some of the other people that bought Walt's bikes.

The collaboration coulda been a match made in heaven...just got make the beast with two backsed up.

You can go to waltsiegl.com

I did everything in '08, 9 and '10.

He's redone his site recently and removed a series of bikes modeled after the 'Four Speed'.

Not to drop names...

a certain actor that is known to be a rider has one of them...

I'm not sure where the rest ended up.

He you.
Oh...

I think Van's Shovel is a Harley...

...and The Riviera...the original one

...and the MotoBee...

and the 4 speed series...

I guess he does. ;D
