I would like to personally thank John Sicurella of DEAD SLEDS MOTORCYCLES
for taking the time to answer a few of my questions. This bike was for sale,
but has since sold.  I'm sure they'd be glad to build you one.

Q: What is your name, where are you from, and what
is the closest major city?
A: John Sicurella.  Shop in Gibsonton, Florida (7 miles south of Tampa).
 

Q: How long have you been riding motorcycles? What was your
first street motorcycle? What year did you get it?
A: 23 years of riding. My first bike was a 1968 BSA 650 chopper.
 

Q: What motorcycles do you currently own?
A: Just sold the chopper and will build another as soon as time
allows since we operate a full time business of building and repair.
 

Q: Are you part of any clubs or organizations?
If so, which ones and for how long?
A: No club affiliation  
 

Q: How long have you been working on motorcycles?
A: 20 years.
 

Q: How long have you been building motorcycles?
A: About 20 years also. I started stripping and
rebuilding them right away.
 

Q: Do you only build choppers? Briefly describe your
favorite type of choppers.
A:  I will build whatever the customer wants with my own
added touch. I prefer the lines of the bike to be similar
to this particular shovel and I am partial to shovelheads
with a lot of rake.  My favorite front end style is a girder,
but did not want to spend the time making our own for this project. 

Q: Do you build/customize any metrics?
A: I haven’t yet, but will be soon--potentially with a 750 Suzuki.
 

Q: Do you simply assemble components or do you rebuild engines,
transmissions, etc. as well? Do you do your own metal work: tanks,
pipes, fenders?
A: Aside from building bikes and doing everyday repairs, hot rod
engines are one of my specialties. I have about 1000 engines
rebuilt to date and just as many transmissions. I don’t consider
a bike builder as someone who just assembles components.
 

Q: Do you work alone or do you have some friends/co-workers who
assist in your builds?
A: Yes, I have co-workers who assist in the building project
but they will get my approval on every phase of construction.
 

Q: Do you do your own paint? If not, who does your paint?
A: On this project, we did the paint in house.
 

Q: What rally's do you regularly attend?
A: I use to go to Daytona regularly, but have not been lately. 
 

Q: How can people contact you if they are interested in your work?
A: John at Dead Sleds Motorcycles.  813-677-2031
 

Q: Lastly, is there anything else you'd want people to
know about you or your bikes?
A: I have been given this awesome ability by my
Lord and King Jesus Christ.
