Dream Shop

I don't mount & balance my own tires. I used to back in the day when lightweight tires were mounted on skinny spoke rims, but nowadays I pay the 30 bucks and let someone with expensive machines do the grunt work. In my case that's Bryant at Schroeder Performance. About a year ago Bryant bought a homestead in rural Richmond, Illinois, and moved his family and shop onto the property. A man after my own dream.

Bryant's background is in racing bikes, ATVs and snow machines, but his passion is the custom Harley scene. He's been featured in magazines and has a wall of awards to show for his talents, but like most shops, stuff like routine maintenance, including tire changes, keeps the lights on.

His new shop looks huge to me, but it filled quickly as he moved in. Back in the corner sits the dyno, set up to handle bikes and trikes. On my last visit I strolled around to look over some of the machines. Mostly big baggers with straight pipes, but there was also a Suzuki drag bike, a vintage enduro and even a Magna V4 on one of the lifts.

I'm guessing in his 50's, the gruff voice earned from a lifetime of smoking, Bryant goes about his work at his own pace, one of those small shops hidden around the world churning out great builds with little fanfare.

This V-twin stuff is a whole 'nother universe of motorcycling......
