In a recent episode of Grilled, S&M Bikes owner, Chris Moeller gets asked
“How did you get to know Dee Snider [of Twisted Sister]?”
After appearing to momentarily dodge the question, Chris answers with the story of a Florida bike shop calling with a customer that was cruiser rider looking for a bike….it turns out that rider was Dee Snider.

Well, Chris was a big fan so he offered to hook him up with a bike.
Dee Snider ended up coming out to visit the S&M HQ, they hit off and then they ended up doing a signature bike with him: The Widowmaker.
Pretty cool story (and part of BMX...and heavy metal(!) history). To think it all started because Dee Snider just wanted to ride.
