Kenny Slimp – CSC Affiliate!

Kenny Slimp's custom CSC Greaser

The response to our CSC Affiliate program has been wonderful, with numerous owners eager to show their bikes to interested riders signing up.  We’ll feature our new affiliates here on the blog periodically, and the first is our good friend Kenny Slimp from El Reno, Oklahoma.

I had a real nice conversation with Kenny earlier today, and I really enjoyed talking to him.  Kenny is one of the very few guys I know who’s been riding longer than me.  He’s been two-wheeling it for a cool 55 years!

Kenny told me that he bought his first bike when he was 13 years old (it was a 3.5 hp Allstate scooter that he used on his newspaper route).    Like a lot of us, he has some interesting stuff in his garage, too.  Kenny owns a stock 1958 Suzuki that he bought from his brother-in-law many years ago.  Yep, that’s right, a 1958 Suzuki.  It’s a  50cc bike with just 996 miles on the clock, and it still has the original tires.  Kenny’s Suzuki has to be one of the first bikes imported into the US by Suzuki.   Kenny also has a customized 2003 Honda Shadow.   Cool rides, Kenny…your CSC motorcycle will be in good company!

I asked Kenny what prompted him to buy a California Scooter.   Kenny told me that he saw his Greaser on display at a car show in Oklahoma and it stopped him in his tracks.   Kenny said he stared at it, walked away, and kept coming back…boy oh boy, do I know that feeling!  One of our dealers (Eddie Brown, in Cordell, Oklahoma) had brought a few California Scooters to the car show, and it was a good move. Kenny was hooked.

Take a hard look at some of the custom features on Kenny’s Greaser. In addition to a bunch of factory options, Kenny worked some real magic on his bike. I especially like the saddlebags…Kenny fabricated them from a pair of windshield storage bags intended for use on larger cruisers. There are lots of other custom touches on Kenneth’s Greaser….see if you can spot them all!
