John Palone
John Palone of Brooklyn, New York City, New York. According to Ray Soff, Palone was in the small mags. In March of 2021 Ray told Sondre Kvipt of Kustomrama that Palone used to do Weirdo Shirts. "As he got older he had a bike called The Tingler. I saw it at local shows. Later he had a body shop called Franki and Johnny." Ray recalled that Palone did many wild paint jobs he saw in New York shows. "I hear he was the first who chopped a 1963 Buick Riviera, and also the first who made a chain steering wheel." Ray asked Korky about Palone, and he said he was in a motorcycle club and that someone shot him dead.[1]
