Micah McCloskey Owned Micah McCloskey’s Custom Motorcycles from 1979 until 2013. He’s a good shit to work with, a long-time member of the hard-riding Uglys MC, a performance motorcyclist and racing freak. During his time running a shop, he got to ride anything and everything.
Micah said he saw Indians everywhere.
He rode a wild highbar 1940 Indian Chief for 30 years until a San Fernando Valley Hells Angel introduced him to FXRs. “I felt 16 again,” Micah said and immediately rode to Beatty, Nevada on a whorehouse run on his first FXR. He made FXRs sing for several decades. Hell, Micah and I raced through lots of canyons over the years.
Micah was the assistant crew chief of EASYRIDER Streamliner 1989 and 1990. “l built the motors that eventually set the LSR of 322.150 mph,” Micah said. “Keith Ruxton built two motors also, but we burned ‘em up dialing in the timing, air/fuel and nitro percentage.” He drag-raced a 101-inch FXR in the ‘90s with AHDRA and South West HDRA. Long-distance event runs included four California 1000s in the ‘70s and the 3-Flags Classic in 1976 (first finisher) and 1977. “All on my 1940 Indian Chief (still have it).”
