Default Nick's Custom Cycle (and Museum). Tons of pics!!!

I traveled with a buddy to visit Nick's Custom Cycle in Williamstown, NJ. It's close to the Walt Whitman Bridge. This isn't your typical indy shop. Nick's been there for 40 years. His place cover several acres and he has 100s of bikes there and 10,0000 (ten's of thousands) of parts. From all eras. Flats, Knuckles, Pans, Shovels and beyond. Nick has an encyclopedia knowledge of Harley bikes.

But that's not the amazing part. That is Nick's personal museum. It's an incredible site that you have to experience in person. If all you know about Harley is the Twin Cam or Evo, you don't deserve to read further. If you're a real Harley-Davidson freak, please continue to look:

Enjoy! I know I did.

I've been going to nicks for a few years now for odds and ends, he and his guys are great and his personal stash of bikes is off the chain.

Baka, Nick is a neat ol' dude. I've known him since the late 60's. I've bought quite a few parts from him back in the day, and he knows his stuff that's for sure.

He's been on 2 shows that I know of. The one about a indy shop in Philly. And he sold the guys from American pickers , a 1912 motor I think. I think he actually swapped them the motor for a pile of old rare parts. He looks like he knows his stuff.,,

Nick is the very definition of Biker. I had only recently heard of him but one of my buddies has been going there for over 20 years. The place is fu*king amazing. It's like biker Disney World. Not to mention Nick is a great guy and makes time for everyone there.

If Nick doesn't have a part it probably doesn't even exist. He could build 100s of complete bikes with all the parts he has around. He has an Ironhead I have my eye on.

I live not far from him and have been dealing with him since the early eighties. Cool guy! He's the man of knowledge concerning HD's.... especially OLD iron. I've spent lots of hours picking thru the coops over the years. Sold him some bikes over the years too. It's nice to live close to him if your'e into older stuff. One of a kind!

Thanks for sharing. I worked in Mt. Laurel up until 2 years ago. I'll have to take a ride down there some time and check it out.
