MUMMY, WHERE DID AG BIKES COME FROM? WORDS/PHOTOS PHIL “CHIEF” LAWTON

Have you ever wondered who first thought of ag bikes? I hadn’t either until I heard of a man named Frank Johns.

Frank Johns just happens to be the late father of a friend of mine. Strange as it may seem, but true, his first name is the same as mine: Phil. There the similarity ends dear reader, because Phil, not this Phil, the other Phil, did not follow in his father’s wheel tracks; he is not a motor cyclist. His passion is Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Corvettes, and he has several in his most gloriously laid out garage.
