March 12, 2014—Body shop owner and renowned painter Bill Steele won the 2014 Bike of the Year award at the Easyriders Grand National Invitational Finals in Columbus, Ohio, in February.
The unique bike, which Stelle named “Blue Baller,” features a shovelhead motor, plenty of gleaming chrome and a stunning PPG silver-flake and candy-blue finish.
It was Steele’s third time winning the award. He also won in 2007 and 2009.
“I was floored when I found out I won,” said Steele. “It was awesome. I was as excited this time as I was the first time, and I could not have done it without the entire team back at the shop.”
