I have held off with this posting. I'm so very sad. 

Lenny Cenotti, AEE parts manager and longest employee died in late October at the age of 78. Poor Lenny's life after AEE was just pure hell and yet he shined through and never ever gave up. When life seriously injured him decades ago, took his work, took his home, took his wife, took all his possessions twice he never gave up. He was my friend all these years and it was an honor for me to be able to say that. Lenny was the only guy I ever rode my motorcycle right beside, I trusted him with my life. I miss him terribly.

I leave you with this, our mutual friend from AEE days Dave Brackett wrote this about Lenny:

LENNY CENOTTI

This was the noblest biker of them all, all the bikers save only he, did that they did in envy of AEE Choppers, he only in a general honest thought, made one of them. After a serious bike accident, spending his life in a wheel chair, and losing his wife to cancer, he passed.  His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him, that one might stand up and say to all the  world, "This was a man".

AEE 7UP Triump build for sale!

Original AEE “mono-girder fork” mounted to an original AEE frame for a “unit 650 Triumph motor” (see my motor installed in the frame, NOT INCLUDED). You can also see I set up mounts for the “moon eyes” oil tank like on the 7-up bikes (oil tank NOT INCLUDED, mounts are). Also included is an original AEE “mini drum” front brake. Not pictured, but included, is a nice AEE “reverse rib rear fender”.
I’m asking $2,000 as it sits in Avon, Ohio. It is a “project” and fabrication skills are required to finish it. I will deliver FREE within 100 miles of Cleveland, otherwise buyer must coordinate their own shipping and pays for all costs to do so
PS- stance is PERFECT!!!!

Kit Bike and Shovelhead together again!

What's better than this? Nothing!!!!

AEE Kit Bike at Fuel Show in Cleveland

Again more congrats to John Kelly for his phenomenal job with this bike. This replica was originally put together by myself and Dave Brackett, designer and builder of the original. I spent 5 years gathering all of the parts and between Dave and I we got it together and running. However, I did not have the resources to complete the paint and chrome. John graciously bought it and made it even better. He tore it all the way back down to bare frame and started in. His attention to detail and fanatic quest to make it an exact duplicate meant much more work and its turned out wonderful. Its nearly ready to run again and I can't wait for him to fire it and ride! he deserves it.

AEE Shovelhead at the Fuel Show in Clevland

Enjoy the incredible sight of this bike in its gestation......John Kelly is too be proud of his efforts in this recreation of one of our most famous bikes, designed and built by Dave Brackett of AEE Choppers!
