Casey Zalinsky's day job is running a skate shop called Captain's in Redwood City, California. In addition to this full-time chore, he's a road rep for Loser Machine Co. in NorCal. When Casey's not working double shifts in the 9-to-5 coal mines, he tweaks on this crusty ironhead. Yes, Casey is living the dream: bringing home the bacon Monday through Friday, then frying it up with friends aboard this well-used freedom machine on the weekends.
I got this bike bone stock for a grand. It had 30,000 original miles on it, but wasn't running. I cleaned the carb, changed the plugs, points and fluids. After charging the batter for a bit, it fired right up. I built the bike in my skate shop Captain's in Redwood City between regular business and helping customers. If I needed anything made while I was assembling the bike I'd text my good bud Brad Coleman at Coleman Originals and he'd whip something up for me. Most of the time it worked out great.

Casey is an awesome dude..i got a 58 pan two years ago, in no way shape or form was it road worthy, cracked bald tires, no seat, who knows what engine problems..and Casey tells me "it looks goods to me!" so we ride.....after the fire went out,..stuck in the mountains, Casey helps me patch together some some un-burnt fuel line, zip ties from his tool bag, he road miles away to get a can of gas, we were as good as gold...thanks bud , you rule...bikes looking good.

The bars are clean partly because of the lack of a master cylinder. The front brake is either operated through some clever wireless technology or perhaps telepathy.
