SEAN: Dan Begakis and Seth Totten were the first guys that kind of got me back into the motorcyle thing. We all got into the whole punk scene back in the 80's and I kinda left the dirt bike scene, then I remember Dan and Seth with these Moto Guzzi/BMW street bikes and that all
kinda kicked everything back into gear. I bought my first basket case 1985 Moto Guzzi in California and never got it running. After that, Seth and I both bought Panheads, that kinda changed my whole perspective on motorcycles. It was a 1958 Pan that I rode for 10 years. Also my Dad tells stories of him and his friends riding bicycles down Slauson to Maywood to hang out at George Barris's shop when he was a kid. In the same little strip they would watch Von Dutch pinstripe and head up the way to Big Daddy Roth's shop and the Mooneyes shop. He later joined "The Imperials" Car Club of Whittier with his 58' Chevy Impala 348 Tri-power Low Rider. That shit is pretty influential.
