Garage Built Podcast

This episode I got to sit down in person with Kory Souza of Kory Souza Originals in Sarasota, Florida and my special guest/co-host Cody Childress of Whoville SPeed and Custom in Abilene, Texas. We talked about the last 15 years in the bike business and how that has evolved in that time and where we think it will head in the next decade!

I love Cam and I bet you will too after this podcast. We talked everything from Prince Albert's and ripped taints to the loss of magazines and custom motorcycles. Enjoy!

Man...sometimes this ride takes you places you never thought you'd go. I got to sit down with my dude and fellow Chopperdog Brendan Milewski, a retired Detroit fire fighter that was paralyzed on Friday August 13th 2010 just minutes into his shift. Brendan is featured in the documentary film "BURN" which won the Tribeca Film Festival

Jody Perewitz proves time and time again that she is more than just "her father's daughter". She is a talented painter, master marketeer, and a world record holder at the Bonneville salt flats! We spent the evening chatting about her life on two wheels!

Since day one of the Podcast there have been a short list of people that I wanted to get on...but at the right time. There are a few men that shaped my desire to do what I do for a living and oddly enough Josh Brown of Standard Cycles in Hemet, California has played a major role in that. His "REDRUM" bike set the bar for as far as how "edgy" a bike should be! 180 rear tire...unpainted frame, the w...

Danny Yannone is a custom painter that has been painting bikes for almost a decade. After a legit apprenticeship under the tutelage of Justin Barnes of American Chopper fame Danny set out o his own. He and I have had our differences but through it all we remained the best of friends. I hope you find him entertaining.

So its been a minute but Cody and I talked some about Sturgis, the new Harley models (we still haven't formed clear opinions) and we chat about some basic bike shop shit. There is a sponsor now too: Boosted Brad's Death Metal Racing Parts is offering 10% off with promo code: "HOW" at check out! Enjoy!

It has been a weird two weeks since we posted last. Since Cody was on vacation I tool the opportunity to sit down with my wife and get her incite on the motorcycle biz, tell a few old stories and share a laugh or two. Cody will be back for episode 14 but in the meantime enjoy!

We met Jeff in 2016 at the FXR show. We have been friends ever since. In January of this year Jeff left Hot Bike magazine to pursue his new project that was launched July 4th called "V-Twin Visionary", a multi media online hub full of new product, hot builds and trending builders. We bent his ear for a few minutes to see how the launch was, we talk a little BMX and Cody and I finish the episode wi...

Okay...so it has been five long years. A lot has changed in the marketplace and in the podcast world. I was going to spend some time and preface the episode with a verbal intro but fuck it...I left it a bit raw. We clowned on ourselves, we clowned on our friends and gave some shout outs to those that we felt deserved one. We also solidified NEVER being able to get a sponsor. We hope you enjoy it a...

This is where my biased opinion will get me into trouble, I am going out on a limb here to say that Darren Williams is one of the top 5 painters (that I know of) in the M/C industry. Darren's shop - Liquid Illusions in St. Louis, Missouri is where it goes down. Darren is a multi-talented; painter, fabricator, graphic artist, film maker and the list goes on. Originally from Beantown (Mass) this mid...

Who the f__k is Roadside Marty you ask? Well click "download" and find out. Roadside and I have been friends for 7 years now and in that time we have both found ourselves in some amazing places. The "Un-official" official M.C. of almost every (worthwhile) wet T-shirt, chopper show, and rally in the motorcycle industry, Roadside is the mouth of the south and a friend when in need. The kind of guy y...

I was stoked when Jeff Cochran agreed to do the HOW Garage-Built Podcast. Jeff is the owner (and sole employee) of Speed King USA www.speedkingusa.com and the founder of the Sucker Punch Sally motorcycle company. We talked about building bikes, spending cash, and surviving a shitty economy. Jeff let us in on a few things he is doing and I got to learn a few things that I didn't already know about...

I was blown away when Irish Rich agreed to be on the HOW Garage Built Podcast. Lets face it, Rich is legendary. Rich is a Sinner (Nomad), has been in and on almost every legitimate motorcycle publication and has been building bikes and hot rods for decades. I have only known Rich for 5-years and it had been that long since we had spoke. Denver is in the throws of Old Man Winter's snowy grip and wh...

For our first episode of the new year we spoke to Tim Bradham from TBC Hot Rods & Bikes in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Tim is very serious about his craft and has built some serious Hot Rods and Bikes over the last 18 years in business. I knew Tim from the old Chopperdogs (West Coast Choppers) website and wanted to get him out in the podcast world. Sit back and hear a take on the bike and ho...

I spent a little time over the holiday with Eric Allard from FNA Cycles in Lakeland, Florida. Eric is known for some of the most off the wall creations around. Eric's is kind of a Doc Emmit Brown/Dennis Hopper type in that his bikes look as if they rode straight out of the the past at 88 miles an hour into the future. With only four years in the business under his belt, Eric's bikes have already g...

Fabricator Kevin Steel Chopper Parts - "If it aint steel, it aint real!" That is the mantra. Recorded during my Thanksgiving holiday in Michigan, I sat down with one of my dear friends and we talked about the chopper scene, off shore (bastard) built chopper parts and we talked about some of the builders in the industry (like "Irish" Rich Ryan) that inspire us to do the cool sh!t we do. Kevin is wo...

This time I sat down with a great friend, Eric Gorges from Voodoo Choppers. We talked about the state of the industry, the state of Voodoo Choppers and the State of Michigan. Voodoo Choppers survived the financial crisis and is set to lead a new charge. We'll find out what Eric has been up to and we talk a little about his craftsmanship and his metal shaping class! This was recorded on location in...

Episode 1 of the Hell On Wheels Podcast. Detroit Rock City has a 60 year old M/C scene that is very unique. At one time there were some 30 clubs that all existed in the city limits. The Detroit M/Cs didn't care how they did things out West or back East. They did things their own way. My first guest is Danny Murphy. Danny is a Detroit biker well engrained into the unique Detroit M/C scene for over...
