Dedicated to all things old school, and founded on the belief that it’s
the creative expression, not the dollars invested that gives a bike its
soul, Ed “Mr Lucky” Martin and the crew here at Mr Luckys proudly
present our take on retro cool!
For some background, Ed grew up as a missionary’s kid in Japan during
the 50’s/early 60’s, with their transportation an old army Rikuo
(Japanese version of an HD) with sidecar. Built his first bike around
13 using parts from a motorcycle junkyard a Japanese buddy’s dad owned.
At 16 moved back to the U.S., and a year later had saved enough to buy
a ‘48 Panhead for $500. “First thing I wanted to do was “bob” it, and
that’s when the custom bug bit me” Ed says.
Spending a lifetime in the motorcycle industry with gigs
owning/operating an HD franchise in the 70’s, a stint with Drag in the
80’s, living in Japan again in the 90’s establishing Custom Chrome’s
Japanese dealer base, Chrome Specialties prez in the early 2000’s and,
most recently, resurrecting the Jammer brand, Ed’s got a unique, global
perspective on what old school cool is all about.
Teaming up with industry cronies and longtime associates around the
world, we’ve put together a righteous collection of old school
essentials, coupled with brand new Mr Luckys originals you won’t find
anywhere else!
You can’t buy a ‘48 Pan for $500 anymore, but old school cool comes in
all shapes, sizes and budgets. Taking inspiration from the boys
bringing their creations to the Smoke Out rallies, and designer friends
in Japan, we’ve developed a vintage inspired rigid frame that accepts
XS 650 Yamaha powerplants. Sheet metal, accessories and complete
Rolling Chassis kits are available as well. Now, you can build your old
school dream ride….for under $5,000!
Headquartered in Houston, TX with sales and distribution centers in CA
and Japan established, and Europe and Australia underway, Mr Luckys is
well equipped to offer worldwide distribution and access to one of the
coolest collections of old school goodies anywhere!
