SCOTT JACOBS’ MOST RECENT HARLEY-DAVIDSON PAINTING– Here is the excerpt from the owner of the 1908 Harley, John Parham, who was kind enough to allow Scott access to this incredible ALL ORIGINAL bike to memorialize on canvas.
Ron:
It’s original paint unrestored. It runs and was originally owned by a man from the Galesburg, IL area. It was on display in Walters Brothers H-D Dealership in Peoria for many years.
The bike was painted over and we stripped the paint off to find this original paint underneath. It is one of the best examples of an original paint 1908 Harley in the world. It is on display at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA. I have owned it for around four years. It is one of the most prized motorcycles I have in my collection right next to my 1912 original paint Henderson 4-cylinder bike.
The bike was dissembled and gone through by Dave Ohrt from Clinton, IA. The bike had been over painted with a dead chicken (paint brush). So we were actually very lucky there was as much original paint underneath the repaint as there was.
The bike will be also be featured in American Iron magazine in the next couple of months.
Best regards,
–John W. Parham

MORE CULTURE FROM BIKERNET.COM–Bikernet contributing artist. Chris Kallas. is being featured in the current (June), issue, of Bike Works magazine. Starting on page 84, five pages and twelve photos are devoted to his life and art.
Chris is also our official 5-Ball Racing Team artist. Plus, this concept drawing is coming to life through an actual motorcycle that will be featured on Bikernet in the near future.
That?s not all. We sell limited addition Chris Kallas, signed art on Bikernet in the Gulch at the bottom of every page.
NEED A PLASMA CUTTER QUICK–We?re beginning the Bonneville Bike sheet metal operation tomorrow at the Bikernet Headquarters. I need to interview Ralph Randolf of Knockout Customs for his Snap-On bike feature (see the home page). It looks like Bikernet is working with Jesse Jurrens of Legends and Independent and their Sturgis Rally Park location as a sponsor. We need to wrap up the contract tomorrow morning, then it?s off to the sheet metal shops.
Next week we?ll launch a bike feature from Avon and two Girls of Bikernet features. The girl you see here is part of the mix, from RFR in Texas and there?s a knockout from Andreas in Europe. Oh, I?ll try to launch an Australian story, a Bonneville Assalt weapan update and maybe the Kristine Tech from Chop N Grind team. There?s more, but my brain is fried. Let?s ride.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
