Man of Month

Bud Justice

At the ripe old age of just 10 years old Bud and his brother made there first motorized machine. They used an old bicycle and utilized a gas washing machine motor for power. They installed it on the handle bars with a pulley to drive the front wheel. This innovated machine in the 1950’s worked but also was the beginning of Bud’s motor cycling future.
Bud and his brother got a job on a ranch one year were they herded and roped cattle. They didn’t use horses but rode Big Bear Scramblers instead. In the years to follow Bud had many different bikes of all makes and models.
Some 50 years later Bud is riding but on a much different machine. Now he’s on a 2006 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic whenever he takes off from his home in Athens, TN to visit Family in IL, or wherever he takes a notion to ride.
