I met Squirrel and Sheri as they dismounted their Harley Davidson outside the Rat Hole Lounge. It was a cold wet day, but the two bikers were still in the wind. "Mind if I take your picture with your scoot?" I asked.
Squirrel agreed, and suddenly his wife Sheri scampered up to join him. "Not without me," she smiled. I took several frames, and we talked a bit.
Squirrel was on two spoked wheels, dripping oil and wearing leather long before Harley Davidson motorcycles became the trendy accessory for many professionals. He finds the current interest in motorcycling and the biker culture to be amusing and good for business. Squirrel owns an independent motorcycle shop where he is the chief mechanic and resident guru of all things motorcycle related. He enjoys a loyal following of dedicated bikers who know a good mechanic does more than simply assemble or replace parts.
Squirrel and Sheri are Strangers #72 in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at
