    American Pickers John Chadwell???

    Has anyone heard of John Chadwell? He was on American Pickers and he has lots of old motorcycles and engines. He said he was starting a museum. I couldn't find any info on the internet about him.

    John manufactures four valve Harley race machines, motors and frames. He was a regular on the Davenport racing series for the board trackers. One of his expertise is castings, he also machines and fabricates early bike components.

      John has been around a long time, like Joe said he races at Davenport....he was at Davenport and
      I have seen him at Eustis for many many years. A very nice knowledgeable person and more than
      willinging to share his knowledge and a great person to chat with

          Jim and John

          Jim and John Chadwell live up the road from me, and have been involved in motorcycles for most of their lives, John will race about anything for fun, Jim is a Master Pattern Maker for castings. They had J & J Choppers in Wichita Falls in late 60's early 70's. John is serious about collecting odd ball early stuff

              Just what this world needs, another museum full of old bikes collecting dust.

                It's his money, isn't it? Why does it concern you? Jealousy? BTW, never met the man, but buying motorcycles right now is a lot better investment than stocks.

                    Agreed on both points.
