Tough motorcycles: part three

Another exciting installment of tough, garage built motorcycles. This one comes courtesy of Dave Polgreen, aka - "Tha' Nuts". Dave is no stranger to nice machinery. Since I've known him, he's built at least 3 show stopping bikes, owned several nice cars (one, a 60's Cadillac), and hoarded enough antique motorcycle parts to start a small museum. He's one of the most talented builders I've had the pleasure to personally know.

This bike is his Shovelhead Harley that he built at home, in his own garage. The tank and fenders are genuine antiques, well preserved from the heyday of choppers. He found them and decided to build a bike to go with them.

These images were taken for a great little magazine out of Australia called "Greasy Kulture". Last fall we met in Northeast Minneapolis and shot this beauty. Since then he's built another stunning bike that I hope to shoot later this year as well. The bar was raised even further - well done, sir. Stay tuned for that.
