Chris Maida Has His James Dean Moment
Maida Tests the Model 1S
Chris Maida is caught throwing a leg over a Brass Balls Model 1S motorcycle in Sturgis SD this past year. Moments later he snicked the sled into gear and blasted off towards the Badlands.
As the editor of American Iron Magazine, Maida can test just about any bike that he wants. He decided to exercise the Softail-style custom-production motorcycle for a full week during the 2009 edition of Sturgis. His review will be in an upcoming issue of the magazine.
Enthusiasts and owners of the Model 1S have agreed that this is one cool bike. And with Maida’s black shades and black T, black jeans, and black ride, well, we think he is sporting his James Dean look.
The hand-built custom-production Model 1S is just 17,995. To get your James Dean look call the office today at 405-270-0995.
