I first met Stan Dishong back in the mid-70's when I was still a wet behind the ears young kid. All I thought about was choppers. One day I walked into his shop in Vallejo, California and was blown away.
He had the coolest collection of bikes that I had seen up to that point in my life. Here was a guy that raced vintage drag bikes, collected antique bikes for what they were and also worked on them.
He had just come from the Steve Mcqueen auction in Las Vegas and had bought a Brough Superior, I didn't even know what it was. I did recognize quality though.
I believe he was stunt man in Hollywood back in the 30' or 40's. He was such an icon in Vallejo that they named the street after him, Dishong Street.
