Ness Stalgia

I’ve seen this bike at bike runs before, most recently the Laughlin River Run in Laughlin, Nevada.
The "57 Chevy Bike" was built by Arlen Ness of San Leandro, California. It was his first major theme bike. It came about in 1993 when Carl Brouhard came to Ness with some drawings for a ’57 Chevy-themed bike. Brouhard returned after the bike was finished and applied the paint. In the years since this bike was built it has become one of Ness’s signature bikes.
