The past week has been a whirl-wind of activities for the Guilty Gang; starting with a phone call from Carolina Cruiser TV Show Host Dawn Glencer (thanks Dawn) asking if Guilty had Errant available for a photo-op with a well known motorcycle magazine for it’s cover. We said, “sure“, then hooked up with the photographer Don Rogers to see if the magazine was really interested. So we forwarded a set of photo’s and waited…which wasn’t long, as Don said “YES! the magazine wants this bike!”. So, after cleaning up our little errant one, we loaded up and headed down south before the crack of dawn, knowing the 4+ hour trip would be both boring and tiring. Anyway, the trip definitely held up it’s end of the bargain. We rolled into the south florida studio around 10:30am and with the help of Don, made a quick job of unloading the bike and getting down to business.
The cool think about Don is that he’s photographed hundreds of custom bikes for every motorcycle magazine around and knows what to look for and takes full advantage of his experience so a bike looks it’s best. The guy is truly a professional with a camera!
Then Sandy (enter model) rolls into the studio around 1:30 and proceeds to get ready. Shortly Don and Sandy are doing their ballet of poses, angles, meter reading and lighting etc. (Just way too much technical stuff for this simple mind). Anyway, you can tell when professionals are working, so CJ cuts out to get a bite to eat and meet up with friends. Returning a few hours later Don’s finished shooting with Sandy, and is starting the final set up with Errant. We have to admit, he definitely got her spirit and what Guilty Customs is all about with his shots. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see more of them before they end up on the magazine cover and the article. Anyway, shortly after, we’re loading up the bike for the boring ride back to Orlando. We have no idea when this cover is going to happen, but based on Don’s comments, “when the magazine calls you for the background on the bike, you can bet it will happen 1-3 months later“. So, we’ll let you know when “the call” comes. Cool experience and all i have to show for it is one lousy picture!

Hey, thanks for coming back! Great to see there are a few of you out there that have taste and style! Seriously, thanks for visiting. If you know of stories you think people would be interested in, shoot us a line C'ya!
