        George Twine was one of my Excelsior guru's. A very nice and approachable fellow. My deepest condolences to his friends and family.

          frist time I met george

          I'll always remember meeting George at the first antique swap meet that I attended it was in ny at the elctric city riders fairgrounds in 1979 my friend Dennis Virgin and I where looking at a old knuckle head (1936) and it was in the back of George's dads truck it was missing some of the parts but mostly complete, well we got a quick class on why the 36 was different from the rest of them, that chance meeting cemented a life long friendship. I always looked forward to seeing George and his family at the meets,I know he was hoping that I would bring something for him to complete his collection and I was always searching his table for anything I could use, I found alot of parts that made my collection a little better, from the clutch on my 09 merkel to the pedal cranks for my camel tank Thor, thank you George for being the person you where. you will be missed by all

            George was one of the owners of my all original 38 chief. he was also willing and able to help me verify the entire ownership history of the bike. A real loss.

              George explained to me the proper procedure for keeping Coker tires on clincher rims. Scary procedure but it worked. Fond memories of a nice gentleman.
              Rest in Peace Mr. Twine

                    George Twine

                    I met George in about 1970 when I joined AMC. He was one of the best restorers along with his father Bob. He owned everything that "we" ever dreamed about and could fix anything.--- One time at Lars Anderson I told him I needed a horn for a 101 Scout. He had his at the meet. He went to his truck and brought back wrenches and took off the one on his restored Scout and gave it to me! He said he had an extra.----- 20 years later I gave him a handlebar mounted pocket watch holder for his 1912 Indian that he wanted badly. I quess that made us even ,but I,ll never forget the horn.
