Meet the Guys - Randy Simpson

Born and raised in Lynchburg, the home of Milwaukee Iron, Randy Simpson has been working with motorcycles since he was a teenager.

His passion was borne from his Dad's 50cc Harley Davidson. Randy would buy, restore, sell or trade bikes whenever he could, turning his mother's basement into his own repair shop. In 1983, when the basement was too full, Randy finally bought some land and put up his own building.

Randy began Milwaukee Iron (so named as a tribute to the old-timers who called their bikes the same name) as a shop where people could get their frames reshaped and rebuilt, but by 1989 he'd incorporated much more.

In 1991, Randy's team premiered a bike inspired by the Lynryd Skynyrd album Street Survivor and the bike took home the first place award at the Rat's Hole Show in Daytona.
