You've been a-making your breads around town, that you've been a-loving my land.
But the man I love when it takes a strike, he puts it in a garbage can, and that's what
That's what you look like to me, and what I see is a pity.
You better close your face and stay out of my way,
if you don't want to go to Fifth City.
If you don't want to go to Fifth City,
you better detour around my town, because I'll grab you
by the hair of the head.
My name is Larry Pierce. I'm from Birmingham, Alabama,
and I'm 37 years old.
I own a garage company, Customs.
We're about 30 miles south of Birmingham in Alabama.
Our main deal is we build vintage motorcycles, choppers,
make some parks, and do a bunch of fat work for people.
About two years ago, we decided to shut down
my retail spot in a city close by.
We found this house on five acres, and we're lucky enough
and able to build a shop at the house,
and it's nice to be able to just walk out the back door
and just kind of do whatever you want.
It's just kind of come out here, drink a little coffee,
look at the nature, and go to work.
Since we moved out here, it's been really nice,
as far as having the shop out here.
I just have got all my animals.
This is our family, Patsy Swine.
This is jibbaletto, hot potato, Chubb's ass hat.
This is my old hammer, Ashley.
It's nice being out here in the woods.
It's nice to just be able to walk out the back door,
go to work, live life, and enjoy ourselves.
Cause this gun don't care who it shoots.
Obviously, a lot of my inspiration
comes from the south.
Just living here, being from here.
Also, a lot of it comes from growing up.
I was really heavy into drag racing.
Mustangs.
Had a bunch of them, and also was a top level speed skater
in my elementary days.
This year, I'm building a 1948 Harley UL Flathead.
I kind of wanted to do a flathead because I've never
built one, and it's pretty much the only one that I've never
owned.
So I'm just really stoked to get to play with this thing
and see what I can do.
My inspiration this year is really
based on the bikes of the 40s and 50s,
and just really basic, short bike.
Just something that you would have seen back in the day
from people getting a stock bike,
and pretty much just taking parts of it.
But in an extremely custom way.
Being invited back a second time,
I'm just really trying to see if I
can hang with some of those guys that built
some really nice stuff last year.
Especially those great fabricators that I saw.
I'm really trying to concentrate on my fabrication
and get my skills up where they need to be.
Hey, babe, how's this?
I was really inspired last year by some different guys
at the show that really do next level stuff.
The way I feel about born free has changed from year to year
since we've been there.
The amount of work you have to put in to be able to get them
done, they're expensive.
Your day job, whatever you do, you work all day,
and then come home at night to get this stuff done.
So I can really appreciate all the hard work
that these guys put in.
So, I mean, born free is just the greatest show on earth,
and I'm just stoked to be a part of it.
I need myself this solemn vow.
I was going to be a lady someday, though I didn't know
when or how.
But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
with my head blown down in shame.
You know I might have been born just plain white trash,
but fancy was my name.
She said, here's your one chance fancy, don't let me down.
She said, here's your one chance fancy, don't let me down.
Night night, Larry, sweet dreams.
Night night, T-Bone.
