Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.

                                 Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Custom motorcycle builders Joe Bochniak and Tom Ford

are almost lost in the photo of two of their custom bikes

on display. The two own North Coast Cycle, in Petoskey,

and specialize in building and customizing motorcycles.

 

                                                    

 

"Petoskey custom motorcycle shop unveiling chopper"

The "Grim Reap'r", North Coast Cycle's first custom-built chopper by Tom Ford, will make its initial public appearance at the Art on Wheels bike show in Gaylord. Art Armfield will also provide a sneak peak at "Aces n' Eights," his Roadstar-based chopper in progress.

 This event will be held April 15, 2006 from noon to 9:00 p.m. at Treetops Convention Center, with proceeds to benefit the Gaylord Community Schools Art Program. Builders presenting bikes include Voodoo Choppers, Detroit Bros, Precision Cycle Works, Tribal Motorworks and NORTH COAST CYCLE! There will be live entertainment, a cash bar, and custom airbrush artist Jeff Hoske from "Hogger's". Advance tickets are $5.00, available at Lappan's in Gaylord and Oldies 101.5, or $7.00 at the door.                        Petoskey News Review, March 23, 2006
