NewRoc's New Dealership
A little cold weather didn't keep Harley owners and enthusiasts from a good time-on Thanksgiving weekend no less. The reason for more than 2,000 people braving the cold and venturing out on the traditionally familial holiday was to celebrate the Grand Opening of NewRoc Harley-Davidson & Buell, the first new Harley dealership in the metro NYC area in several years. Those that braved the cold were treated to two live bands, jugglers and stilt walkers, a fire-eater, plenty of free food, and one of the best displays of new Harley motorcycles, clothing and accessories in the New York area. One local rode in his "winterized" '47 H-D knucklehead, complete with original '40s era windshield and leg protectors. The 27,000 square foot dealership is family- owned and -operated by longtime motorcycle enthusiast, Jack Meskunas and his wife, Denise. On Sunday, the NewRoc Harley-Davidson & Buell hosted its first motorcycle show attracting about 35 custom and classic motorcycles ranging from a restored 1910 single-cylinder Harley to '60s choppers, as well as a handful of modified '05 Harley-Davidsons.

No Longer Incognito
MGS Custom Bikes located in Lancaster, California, has been one of the best-kept secrets in the motorcycle industry. Although, you should recognize MGS from our last issue, the shop is helping STC editor, Ernie Lopez, make his own custom gas tank for our bike build-off. Finally receiving recognition for its one-off bikes, Storm Pipe exhaust systems, and custom sheetmetal shortcuts for builders of all levels, owner Mike Stafford has always thought of bike building as the art of metal. With each new one-off bike, there's a new canvas on which to create. Using that philosophy, he's created a line of sheetmetal products called Liquid Steel including full rolling chassis kits, gas tanks, front fenders, rear fenders and more.
