Good guy, he built my bagger engine, a humble man who took time to show us his operation. Definitely a loss to the MC industry. After he closed the shop he spent his retirement working on his corvettes

My phone started blowing up this morning asking if I had heard he died.
I had no idea he was killed on a motorcycle.
I live just 25 minutes from where is first shop was where they did the biker build offs from. Later he moved on the northeast side of Winston-Salem. I had customers innthe area and would stop by to visit the shop.
It was a fast paced high performance production monster.
Kendall's son had taken over the last time I was there, but Kendall was there and he absolutely loved to talk horsepower. He told me what I needed on my bike and tried to sell a job for his son. Then he shared some investments the had. One was a classic Corvette that he had just sold for a handsome profit and was looking for something to put that money in.
I hated it when the shop closed. His son from what I was told created a very specialized niche for himself building engines for just a select few.
Kendall will be missed. R.I.P.
