Famous motorcycle riders | Sturgis Biker Museum Hall of Fame
Rick Fairless - Rick spent 20 years in the paint industry working for the Glidden Paint Co. At 19 years old Rick started out in the downtown Dallas warehouse pulling paint orders. Through the years Rick worked his way up the ladder to store manager & then to the #1 sales rep in the country. But his real love was always riding & building custom motorcycles. So, he left a lucrative career and took a chance on opening his own motorcycle shop - an Easyriders franchise in Dallas. It was 1996, and Rick wanted his shop to be more than just a motorcycle shop - he wanted a destination for all motorcycle enthusiasts, regardless of what kind of motorcycle they rode or even if they rode a motorcycle at all, so he added Strokers Ice House Bar & Grill. In 2002, Easyriders ended its franchise program so Rick changed the name of his shop to Strokers Dallas. Since then, he's added Strokers Ink, a tattoo and piercing parlor & RF Custom Parts. On weekends, Rick's Strokers Dallas "Empire" will welcome between 1,000 and 2,000 people. Besides being a successful business owner, Rick is a master bike builder, columnist for two national magazines, hosts his own radio show, is a motivational speaker and a family man. Rick's custom motorcycles have been featured in many magazines around the world & numerous television shows.
