  • Got the Bike!

    Got the Bike!
    My husband surprised me and got me the bike! I wanted a motorcycle all my life and when I got it, I had no idea I would turn it into a tribute bike for REO Speedwagon. My husband had the Bike delivered to my job!
  • The Idea!

    The Idea!
    The idea of building the REO Speedwagon Tribute Bike was born. I promised myself that the Tribute Bike would not be just made up of stickers but it would be highly customized REO style and it would be expertly done.
  • Bike Signing

    Bike Signing
    Kevin signs the bike. I thought it best to have the guys sign the bike as the begining of the customization. I took that bike piece all over the country to different shows until I got all of them to sign the piece.
