Ted and Dots, Moms and Pops Brunswick
Not sure if this is the right place or not so if the mods want, my knuckles are ready for rapping.
I alluded to a place in Georgia in a couple threads (Georgia shops and American Pickers) so I decided to dig out the shirt and get the address. It's Ted and Dots in Brunswick Georgia. If you are ever within 50 miles make it a stop. About a year and a half back I spotted this little sign about "Harley parts" and made a hard u-turn to get there. Looking at the front and being a Yankee I started hearing banjos in my head and kids with shaved heads playing them. But on opening the door I found something that was a cross between a museum and an old-school dealership.
Ted himself led me around and showed me the lay of the land; beards of a feather flock together. Part is set up like a diner, part like a showroom - some is display and some is just merchandise. Lots of good leather and the dude can make you any part you need. My 30 minute stop turned into six hours and got me the one-of-a-kind kickstand I always wanted for my 66. He made it right there and then from my description and only charged me 50 bucks for it. I took a shine to a 1958 he had on display and he said "If the price was right ----------" I got him to the point he almost said yes but couldn't quite close the deal.
Don't know how locals feel about him but I loved it. Unlike Bill's they don't have a website that I know of but there are some pictures in various Photobucket and other dump sites. Search on both names to find them.

I got hopes of making it back down that way this summer. I really didn't get a chance to see everything and he struck me as the kind who keeps adding and changing. There aren't too many places I come across that really make an impression on me anymore but this was one that sure did.

Went here yesterday. 38 when we started out, but warmed up to every bit of 55. Me, Jay, and Randy. Great day of riding. Here is a link to the pics on FB. Should be viewable to everyone. Hit me up while there if we are not friends on there. I have a ton of other pics on there.......
This is absolutely a must-see if you are even remotely close!!!
