Terry Hermann Found The Perfect Combination - Arlen Ness and Rucker Performance
Terry Hermann was looking for a custom chopper motorcycle with an open primary. He drove two hours south to Arlen Ness Enterprises in Dublin, CA to check out their inventory.
At the Arlen Ness store, Terry met Bill Biler, the Sales Manager. Bill introduced Terry to the Gauntlet, a limited edition Ness-Gauntlet that was uniquely designed with selected Ness components. Terry was so enamored with the Gauntlet that he took delivery of the Gauntlet that day.
Wherever he goes with his new ride people stop and talk about it. “I recently rode out to Street Vibration in Reno, NV and no matter where I went I could always find my bike because it had the largest crowd of riders around it,” said Hermann. “I guess my only complaint is that I spent more time sitting and talking about it than actually riding it!
One of the most unbelievable features of the bike is the comfort level. I have an FXR and after 100 miles my back starts hurting,” explained Terry. “On the Gauntlet I rode 350 miles back home from Reno and decided to ride another 20 minutes after I got home because I didn’t want to put it away.”
Terry is very satisfied with the high level of Arlen Ness Enterprises’ service. “I called Joe Catucci, Arlen Ness Enterprise’s Service Manager, about my next scheduled service. He has a truck coming out to the house, picking the bike up and dropping it off the next day,” said Terry. “They really bend over backwards for me!”
The Rucker Performance Gauntlet is more than just a motorcycle to ride –- it is a lifestyle. Terry has a bike that can run all day, looks like a one-off top dollar machine, has plenty of power, maneuvers extremely well and above all is a show stopper.
Terry sums up the experience in one sentence, “It’s the most excitement I’ve had in 17 years.”
