one of the band roadies, they told
Donnie where the band was staying.
Donnie went to the hotel and parked
his bike, and waited and waited.
Later, someone finally did come out
to smoke a cigarette and they came
over to see the bike. Once they saw it,
they went in to get the members of the
band to check it out. Unfortunately,
they were already in bed. So they told
Donnie come back at 7:00 a.m. in the
morning.
When Donnie returned that
morning, riding up on his Free Bird
Bike the band members were waiting for
him in the parking lot!! Lead singer Jonny
Van Zant gave him a hug and everyone
was very appreciative of the work on the
bike. It isn’t everyday you get to meet an
iconic band and show them a motorcycle
that was customized as a memorial to
past and current members of that band.
So when you are thinking of making
a few changes to your bike to make it
special, you will need to decide just how special you want it to be. You also need to
decide will it be a custom airbrushed paint for you are will you head in another direction
altogether? RIDE ON!!
