Friday with Sucker Punch Sally & Trish

Bandit called and asked me if I had anyone I could shoot for our GOB section. Now I can always find a young lovely for the GOB section but then he said, “who was special enough to be shot with a Sucker Punch Sally bike.” Ah, a tall order.

I went to work immediately in search of a woman deserving of the job. She needed a flair, a tattooed forehead, a Betty babe with checkerboard skirts and leather bondage neck straps. I scanned the internet, going thru site after site … sending out emails to potential young lovelies who might fill the bill and extol the virtues of posing naked on the world’s largest and most active biker website on a bike built by one of the most famous bike building shops in the country. The pressure mounted day after day, minute by minute, phone call by e-mail. I was beginning to drink more than my usual fifth a day.

I sifted thru page after page of photos on one of my primary modeling sites till I found TRISH. All of my criteria was suddenly met. Flowing blonde hair with steel grey eyes … and that was just from the headshot. The e-mail went out immediately with a plea for her to make, not only my day, but the day for literally thousands of bikers around the world by posing for me, with the Sucker Punch Sally. Sure, she wasn’t Ms Page, or the dominatrix from hell, but she sure rocked my world. Would she mind if I called her Sally? Time passed and I grew pensive, but then the answer floated across the airwaves. She not only agreed to do the shoot for the paltry sum I offered, she was excited.

The shoot was set up for a Friday afternoon at the Sucker Punch Sally shop in Scottsdale just north of Phoenix. Christian, da boss, was ready when I got there with the bike and most accommodating attitude, especially when Trish showed up. The whole shop staff became very accommodating.

What a great bunch of guys. Now, I should tell you that after the shoot Trish was taking her last final at Arizona State and two weeks later she graduated with a degree in business. She was amazing with blond hair, amazing eyes and all the rest of her amazing physical attributes, plus a brain to boot.

We first set up inside the shop. Christian had a Sucker Punch t-shirt for Trish to wear but was having it steamed and pressed. We were in a time crunch. I had to improvise. I went to my bag, found two bandanas and created the perfect halter top. God I love my job. Then after shots with Christian and all of the staff it was time to move outside for a little more privacy and a lot more Trish.

Trish went to change to her evening attire; it was pushing 6 p.m. after all. As she walked thru the shop all jaws hit the floor. In black lace she was simply stunning.

She came out to where Christian and I were waiting, looked at the bike, smiled and asked, “How do you want me?” It was a question for the ages.

Now I know I haven’t written much about Sucker Punch or the bike we used in the shoot. but you can read that stuff on the tech sheet or go to their recently redesigned web page at www.suckerpunchsally.com. I can tell you that when you walk thru the shop you meet a quality crew who know exactly what they’re doing and stand prepared to build a bike to your specs, at a price that makes you wonder how they stay in business.

They put out quality, affordable bikes and take great pride in every one that rolls out of the shop, and that’s just what Christian, Donnie, Mike and SPS crew plan to keep on doing. That’s what you need to know.

My thanks to Christian, his crew and of course Trish. This is how I like to spend my Friday afternoons—not bad.
