Gayle Anderson was live in?Los Angeles, where motorcycle aficionados should check out ?Arlen Ness: Art on Two Wheels? at the Petersen Automotive Museum, which opens this Saturday, July 13th and runs through Sunday, September 8th.
This exhibit features motorcycle masterpieces built by Arlen Ness that embody a style and spirit that blends sculpture and and thrill of motoring on two wheels. Three generations of the Ness family have crafted custom motorcycles. Visitors to the exhibit can see bikes built by Arlen?s son, Cory and his grandson, Zach.?
Arlen Ness began his career in the 1960s with the customization of a 1847 Harley Knucklehead. After entering the bike in local shows, he was noticed by future customers and started a business custom painting bikes. As his popularity grew and demand increased, Ness began selling custom parts and custom motorcycles with a stretched and lowered style which became the hallmark of his designs.
After more than four decades, Ness has a large product line specializing in Victory and Harley-Davidson accessories and has received a variety of awards including Builder of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Awards and induction to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
Saturday?s exhibit opening begins with a V-Twin Cruise-in from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Anyone who rides a motorcycle to the Petersen will receive FREE parking and two-for-one admission to the museum. Arlen Ness will be signing autographs at 11:00 a.m.?
If you can?t wait for Saturday, tickets are still available for the ?Arlen Ness Birthday Bash? on Friday, July 12th at 6:00 p.m. This celebration will include cocktails and dinner along with a preview of ?Arlen Ness: Art on Two Wheels.?
