I had the honor to be with this man on Cape Cod during much of his 'earlier days' and experienced his unrivaled work ethic, professionalism, and passion for bikes. I have always maintained that Bill is far more than a Master Technician or a Motorcycle Mechanic.....he is a true artist in every sense of the word. He is the Michelangelo of Motorcycles and if anyone in the World wants to create their own custom work of art.......this is the MAN!! Although this video gives you the history of his incredible skills as a "Master of the Motorcycle" it leaves out the fact that Bill is an incredible person who will help anyone if possible. Back in the day when we were 're-starting' the Motorcycle Unit for the Massachusetts State Police and had ancient Harley's and no budget Bill would use he personal time and expertise to bring our motorcycles back to life and keep us safely on the road......he never charged us for the labor....we just had to get the parts. His is a great guy, a true American Icon, and I am proud to call him my friend!

Wow Dan, I don’t know how to respond to such kind words. Thank you! I really loved working with such a fine organization the Massachusetts State Police. I still remember the day you showed up with an unmarked car with the rear practically dragging on the ground because of all the ammo in the trunk so we could go shooting. I think you were in what’s called the stop team. Anyway a great memory for me. Take care buddy.
