Meet Dean Ross—better known as Rossy—a rider, wrencher, and all-around madman from Gormandale, a small town tucked away in Victoria, Australia. Rossy runs a humble garage called Shop Six Six, where he services and repairs Harleys with a no-BS approach.

Rossy's journey into the custom motorcycle world started early. He grew up racing dirt bikes, which naturally led him to Harleys, then wheelies, then shows—and now—leaning deep into old-school chopper culture. What started as ripping around for fun quickly turned into a way of life.

Rossy's current go-to is a 1973 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead, built with a stripped-back mindset and a healthy disregard for convention. This thing’s not a polished show queen—it’s a bare-bones, run-what-ya-brung chopper designed to get thrashed.

• Wheels: 21" Lowbrow front / 18" Excel dirt bike rim out back (re-laced to a 40-hole hub)
• Controls: Lowbrow bars with internal throttle + suicide shift (donated by J. Lethbridge)
• Drivetrain: Open primary
• Rear Suspension: 13.5" shocks—just enough to throw it into corners or down a skatepark snake run
• Other Goods: Lowbrow rear fender and sissy bar

Everything unnecessary has been shaved off. No fancy paint, no frills, no apologies.

When asked about performance upgrades, Rossy keeps it real: “F**k all except the shocks.” The tall rear suspension helps him lean deep and ride aggressive—perfect for navigating Aussie hills. Don’t expect this thing to stop on a dime though—he admits the rear brake barely does the job.

Every bolt, weld, and wrench turn was done by Rossy himself. “No paint. Just slapped together the way I got it.” It's all part of the charm—this bike’s meant to be ridden, not pampered. And for Rossy, the best part of the build was getting that clean front end dialed in with no visible wires or cables.
