I'm not real crazy about his stuff either. I've read in a couple of diff places he did do some designing at moco.
But you guys are prob right.....was prob minor stuff and concepts

I'm not real excited about most Ness stuff, but some is OK. The only company I can think of that just makes me want to throw up is Kuryakyn. Holy crap, is that company run by a 12-year-old metal head?

I'm pretty sure this guy designs Kuryakyn's stuff on the backs of his notebooks between classes.



(BTW: No way that *** is a Motorhead fan - he just thinks the shirt makes him look less gay)

Never heard Ness working for H-D. He did some nice looking rides and some really radical customs. I believe he didn't have a lot of money back then.
I wonder when he would have worked for H-D. Possibly on the V-rod?
