At 10:30PM last night my phone was ringing and I thought, who the hell could be calling me this late. It turned out to be no other than Mike Fucking Scraggs.
What's interesting was that he's a radio DJ once a week. I guess this is his usual schedule below, but last night he was on from 9pm to midnight. You can stream it to listen and even watch his show live. I had no clue he had an ongoing radio show. Click below for the Ozcat Radio site:
Mike Scraggs is one of those people that you'll never read about on the internet or get much info in magazines (there's probably more about him in Japanese mags). You'd need to practice the fine art of conversation to get info from guys like this. For well over a decade now, he's been one of the people that I got history on the undocumented black art of hot rod FXR's and the origins of Frisco style choppers.
One of the raddest things he's ever told me was, "you know why we built those Frisco bikes the way we did? it was so they could go fast through cars and you could ride them up the hill as fast as you can to find the bad guys, go beat them up, and get outta the city before the cops showed up."
So much to learn outside of the world wide web.
