Synopsis

Motorcycle Maverick, Arlen Ness... He's considered the godfather of custom bikes, a master builder. Arlen with help from his wife, Beverly, started Arlen Ness Motorcycles more than thirty years ago, and with each year, it gets more popular and more profitable thanks in great part to his son, Cory, and daughter, Sherri, who have taken the custom motorcycle business to a new level.

We will follow Arlen Ness on a journey that takes him from the shop he has worked out of for eleven years to a new multi-purpose facility that he has built. We will watch as his dream goes from a sketch on a piece of paper to a 68,000 square foot mega-structure complete with a museum displaying his one-of-a-kind custom motorcycle collection. After six years of planning, building and designing, Arlen's new shop is ready to open to the public. Join us for the grand opening ... along with 10,000 people! This show of support is just one example of the respect Arlen Ness is given throughout the motorcycle industry for his kind and soft-spoken personality as well as his amazing creativity making him a Motorcycle Maverick.

We'll go on a motorcycle road trip with Arlen and Cory as they hit the road on their custom bikes with the motorcycle club Arlen started more than twenty years ago, the Hamsters. We'll be there as they ride from San Francisco to Sturgis, South Dakota, for their annual trip to the Sturgis Rally.
