HEATH'SBITCHBulkedUpAndB.A.D.By day, Heath Fifield runs a used car lot

in Lakeport, California. He works nights

at a geothermal power plant known to

the locals as "The Geysers." It appears

that Heath already had more on his plate

than he could handle, but two years agohe assumed the task of building his own

custom bike in his spare time.

Heath's a large lad and has always beenattracted to the "biggie-ness" of RonSimms customs. But one of the most diffi-

cult decisions was to choose a color and

paint scheme. So, Heath and his lovely

other half, Shelly,who just happens to be

poised precariously upon her hubby'sbike as this month's Fox Hunt winner,

56 September2005Easyriders

went to the Grand National Roadster

Show at the Cow Palace seeking ideas

for paint...among other things.

Climbing to the top of the ceiling,

they looked for a color that simplycould not be ignored. Shining out of the

group of more than 100 cars was this

particular shade of House of Kolor

cobalt blue. Now he was ready for the

next step.

Wrangling a relatively rare CNC brandframe, Heath set to work in his garage.

With his riding buddy, Phil Frey alongside, these two would cuss and bust

their knuckles to get 'er done.

Forming ideas into metal was a trek

that would allow them to boldly gowhere neither had gone before, but itwas turning into a stone bitch. Every-thing would get better, though, after acall to that black-sheep craftsmanknown as Scott Hultquist of Riff RaffCustoms in Livermore, California.

Riff Raff Customs paints, fabricatesand gives birth to some great Californiacustom motorcycles. On this scoot, hetook his paintwork a step further bymarbleizing the flames. Not only that,but when Heath and Phil gave up on themechanics, Scott stepped in and finallygot "Heath's Bitch" rolling.

Heath did manage to cajole the localmachinists at Precision Technologiesinto modifying his swingarm and theRiff Raff custom floorboards to match.

Larry Hardy at Performance Techniquesin Anaheim, took Heath's stock 10Q-inch

RevTech engine way past the factoryspecs. Heath pulled over 125 ponies ona dyno at a bike show in Las Vegas.

Heath is working with Riff Raff(www.riffraffcustoms.com) on his nextproject, and Shelly, meanwhile, hasclaimed first dibs on his cobalt cruiser.
