In this edition of Corbin’s Ride On, we’re off to the Jersey Shore to hang with custom builder Doug Keim…plus we’ll check the progress on our current J&P Metric Makeover…& in ShopTalk, we’ll get your bike tuned up for the drag strip!

Doug Keim
The man known as “the Pride of the Jersey Shore”, Doug Keim, started his career as a racer – then hung it up to manage the service department of an auto dealership.  But his love of custom creations drove him back to the workshop, & eventually Doug opened Creative Cycles.  It’s grown into a one-stop shop where Doug crafts unique one-off motorcycles that are part of his pursuit of perfection in form & function.  We’ll hang in the shop & watch Doug at work – then climb aboard for a ride!

J&P Metric Makeover
The crew at J&P Cycles is at it again!  We’ll follow them through another set of changes as they transform a metric cruiser into a snazzy custom themed after ‘70s muscle cars.  “The Baron”, John Vaughn-Chaldy, along with J&P President John Parham & his wrenching staff have a long way to go before this makeover is finished!  Don’t forget to check out all the parts they’re using at jpcycles.com.
