Kevin Dunworth[edit]
Born December 10, 1975 in Baltimore, Maryland, he moved around as his parents explored Southern California and The Nation Until settling in the Ocean City, MD Area at age 7. His fathers love of motorcycles and particularly British and European Iron gave him an interesting insight as driving age approached. Working at a well known local Bicycle and Moped repair shop helped him fine tune his interest in motorsports and mechanical things. Moving into the Marine Industry on a friends suggestion, he continued to build cars and motorcycles. After leaving the Sport Fishing side of the Marine Industry and a short stint as a part owner of a professional "Drift" team he started Loaded Gun Customs. His focus was on purpose built Vintage "Resto-Mods". While gaining momentum in the vintage "street racer" scene, the emerging rebirth of "Cafe Racers" pushed his small company into the limelight. Now known for some intersting mix of old and new he has been showcased as the "team leader" of Loaded Gun Customs, and coined the phrase for vintage motorcycle enthusiasts "Love knows no Bounds".
Kevin and his “crew” have been featured builders on Discovery HD Theater's Café Racer TV, where they not only built a “Resto-Mod Triton” (Triumph power with Norton frame= Triton) now known as the “platform to shoot for” by Racing Legends * Eric & Ben Bostrom, but also offered historical commentary and building insight over several episodes. Kevin has been a guest speaker on the International Motorcycle Show DIY stage, presenting Café Racer and Vintage "How To" as well as historical expertise. Kevin was a key speaker for the “Moto-Flix” section of the International Motorcycle Shows in DC, inspiring younger riders to learn the history of the products. The LGC Triton was featured in the Race Tech Suspension Booth on the 2010-2011 Motorcycle show circuit showcasing suspension tuning and chassis set-up. LGC had the honor of representing the Café Racer movement at the Indianapolis Dealer Expo 2011 with the likes of bikes by Roland Sands and Arlen Ness. [6] [7][8]
