David Mann. A true Blessing to the MC and Art Culture!! Always loved his work!!

[@montewolf3570]

#GHOSTIN! Happy New year and thanks for your work and keep it up on two's ride safe Brother

Tom, Jerry Rhodes and Skip Taylor were the quessentential 1%. They were much more biker than Don Chambers.

[@whatthetruckwithfuckingeorge]

I was very fortunate to have known Tom Fugle. I ALWAYS called him Mr. Fugle, and he would correct me every time telling me to just call him Tom. I told him that he is (at the time) a living legend, and I don't feel comfortable calling a living legend by their first name. He would just laugh and say that he wasn't a legend. He was super nice and very humble. I think that says something too. He was world renowned for his choppers and for being the co-founder of the EFMC, but he never acted like he was better than anyone. I showed him a Kawasaki chopper that I was building, and instead of dogging it, he gave me pointers. He was a helluva cool guy and he will continue to be missed. R.I.P. Mr. Fugle.

[@DemonsRow]

thats awesome i could see how humble he is

[@Calvinmob681]

GGMC and EFMC have so much chopper history. Awesome video.

[@SoseTheGhost]

Men like Tom are a dying breed! They had pride and a drive to accomplish what they set out to do. Men like Tom were taught by their Fathers a lot things that are not passed on from generation to generation anymore.

[@DemonsRow]

That is so true

[@Timberbeartrail]

They pretty much all died except sonny and nobody else and I can remember maybe Jesse Ventura

[@IrishZombieNation]

Great video man. Do Sugar Bear next. History of the chopper with Jesse James, the same video where he featured Tom Fugile, he featured Sugar Bear as well. He was one of the creators of the Easyrider bikes from the movie and never got credit for it because he was black and it was 1969. He's also the Mastermind behind the Sugar Bear front end which you can't mistake when you see one. His shop is in Compton, California which is only a few miles away from where I grew up in Pico Rivera.

Much respect

[@michaelspicer1236]

#GHOSTIN My childhood hero (one of them) waa Evilknevil, brought to me in awareness by my father. He put me up in the seat of his full dresser FLH back in 66 and another one in 68. He had to duck out of the hobby of riding. But then when he retired as a lifer in the Navy I was sixteen and he got himself another Harley. He got to training me to learn about riding and having complete control of the bike by putting me on a bike with bald tires on a grass knowle in our backyard. And when I was meeting the requirements he tossed me the keys. I quickly learned to love being in the wind and bought my own basket case Triumph 650 Tiger , 1971. Within a year and a half I had fully restored this bike and put countless miles on her. The rest is history but , like you said my happiness is from within in the memories my father gave me and the way I keep my wheels going. I appreciate the legendary Tom Fugal and I wish him eternal rest and respect. Great video and tribute, Sose! Keep the shiny side upnand the greasy side down!

[@georgiapeach1100]

Proudly one of your Ghost ~ this was an incredible episode... so many points about life, feeding your creativity, surrounding yourself with people that lift you up, reminding you of who you are... how negative people, circumstances only draw away from your life.. I am very much like you where I need to keep creative or it affects me. Your vibe surely attracts your tribe! keep being real, absolutely inspired and love your content, wisdom openness to giving flowers to others and shedding a light on them! awesome truly.

grew up with David Mann posters all over my house in the 80's, bikers living in my garage, they always dug my art as a kid i would eventually draw tattoos for a lot of em and still draw n paint.. David Mann is a legend kinda like the norman rockwell of 1%ers illustrating the lifestyle n capturing something really unique, looking at his art made ya feel like a fukin a warrior on 2 wheels #ghostin

Good video! I think where a lot of us somewhat fail in life is just not sticking to things we love! This video reminded me of out of my high school days lowering trucks shaving door handles so much fun. What a legend would love to have one of his bikes in the shop on display!!

[@mrnobodz1]

people (true riders) need to know who are the true motorcycle heavyweights. we tend to forget when they are gone, and the young bikers don't seem to want to learn were they are today because of these bikers and builders of the past. one of my favorited was Indian Larry who I got to meet, many years ago. RIDE FREE AND SAFE IN 2022 to all

I am the new generation so they will know. Im from the bronx we pay homage to the OGs and we did a indian larry episode and we went to his block party

[@JohnDoe-qy8vr]

@@SoseTheGhost Tiny Bower was originally from Sioux city, Iowa, He moved to the SFV in cali and became a member of the slaves , He went back home to Iowa, Their original idea was to found a SatansSlaves chapter, But the idea got voted down by the Slaves who stayed a 1 chapter club Until they patched over to the H A in 1977,and the other guys became El Forestero, Tiny returned to the SFV and was A SatansSlave until he became H A , he died About the same time Tom did and they were life long friends and brothers, I don't know much about El Forestero but know they are now and have been brother clubs with the goose and share club houses in the mid west and New Orleans, They like to ride and party, your bike has to be built by you and has to be a chopper, you should probably get clearance if you do a show on all that ?I just now watched about Tom would have liked to meet him he was a few years older than me Im 70 last August, But still riding apehangers, I now have an 2018 heritage m8 114 Ive put 25,000 mi in the last couple years, I also still have an evo and just sold 2 twin cams, so like he said it gets in your blood and stays, "I'll ride till I die" SFVmc

I do believe we were all put on this earth for something we as our selfs have to just go and do what we love but the sad part is that alot of people fear failure or that their not good enough and by them doing that they tend to forget what they loved in the beginning and then they end up just settling with what is safe and that's why the ones that are legends are what they are because they made the sacrifice and looked fear in the face and laughed and they didn't worry about what people thought or said they just kept working hard at what they loved to do and never forget what that was #legendary #ghostin #soseislegend
