"Having been involved with motorcycles since 1978, I have witnessed the sport grow from a few dedicated die-hards maintaining their own bikes, to today where the prices of motorcycles and services are astronomical."
About Cedar Canyon Cycles
"In 1998 I wanted a custom bike, but the price was outrageous, so I built my own. Since that time I have rebuilt and/or customized one to two bikes a year. On a trip in 1999 I broke down and went to a Harley Davidson dealer for parts for my Shovelhead. They informed me that they, 'no longer worked on that type of motorcycle'. According to the dealer, Harley Davidson no longer wished to support their bikes older than 1985 with parts."
