CSC and the VMMC

Jim Swanson, a 2nd-generation VMMC rider

Jim Swanson is realizing a first…his CSC bike will have black-and-white police colors.  Jim’s not a police officer…he’s a Victor McLaglen Motor Corps rider!  Victor McLaglen was a movie star back in the 1930s who had an interest in motorcycles and precision drill teams, and he created and sponsored the VMMC.  These guys are impressive.  I’ve seen them perform several times, and each time is a real treat.   You gotta check out the VMMC video at the end of this blog; trust me, you’ll enjoy it.

Jim stopped by the factory this morning to deliver his custom painted CSC tank and fenders (he had the VMMC guy paint them to match the team’s colors), and we’ll be assembling the bike next week.  It’s a special bike, and we’re going to have Wade put the bike together in our Pro-One shop (Wade’s our motorcycling Michelangelo, a maestro of all things metal).  I’ll catch some video and a few still photos as the bike comes together, so keep an eye on our blog.

We had a nice surprise when Jim stopped in this morning…not only did he bring his newly-painted bodywork…he also bought an original framed Mustang ad for us to hang in our factory.  It’s pretty cool and it’s very classy, but so is Jim.  I had a great conversation with Jim and I learned that not only is he a VMMC rider, but he is a second generation rider (his father rode with the team, too).    We are really looking forward to seeing Jim riding his California Scooter with the Victor McLaglen Motor Corps.

Jim, thanks very much.   Ride safe and have fun.

And here’s the VMMC video I mentioned…this is great!
