Speaking of paint, chances are you might not be familiar with the fact that Sugar Bear paints most of his bikes, and builds the wheels as well, including those on these two bikes. Getting back to paint, Gorjus was molded and painted by him, and as for the symbolization of the fuel tank graphics, we'll come back to that real soon. As for Glodean's bike, Sugar Bear handmade the rear fender, and graphics guru Ron painted the Love Unlimited group members on it, featuring Glodean in the middle. It was based off an album cover they had released back in the day. Eloquent musical notes and microphone graphics finish off the theme. Now, when Sugar Bear said that the bike's build time was enough to get it right for Glodean, he meant it when it came to the seat as well. Several seat changes were made until Seats By Ash made one just for her, complete with the words "Glo's Chop" stitched in gold.
When Glodean's bike was finished, Sugar Bear delivered it to her as a surprise. She was not only happy with the bike, but also pleased that she had achieved her goal of being the first woman with a complete Sugar Bear bike. She now has a second one in the making.
Readers, as mentioned a little earlier in the story, we were going to come back to the meaning of the fuel tank graphic on Gorjus. The heart and wing symbol that signifies Sugar Bear was explained: "Back then when you started riding you had to put in your time before you got your wings." Sugar Bear continued, "I earned my wings, my heart has wings...that's what it signifies to me."
Sugar Bear, from the STREET CHOPPER staff, with your heart and wings you have soared above it all. Thank you for your contributions and place in our motorcycle industry. May your legacy continue to flourish.
