Matthew and Shayne met at the Hell's Angels San Clemente rally weekend in '77.

Shayne, on his blue-flamed Chopper and wearing his trademark red/white/blue helmet, accidentally backed into Matthew's bike.

"Get your crap bike out of my way," Shayne taunted.

Matthew took off his helmet, letting his hair fall down past his waist.

"It's a crap bike, but it's MY crap bike. You gotta a problem with that?" The graphic on Matthew's motorcycle simply showed an owl giving the finger.

Then Shayne noticed the extremely rare Skull and Fireworks tattoo that Matthew had on his underarm. "Holy shit, you're an Ace Jumper?"

"How do you know about that?" The Ace Jumpers were a super-exclusive gang of bikers who had done the following within 36 hours: rob 4 banks, drive 2000 miles, recite "A Clockwork Orange" by memory, and drink 10 bottles of Jagermeister -- all without sleeping or eating.

"This is how I know." Shayne lifted up his ZZ Top beard to reveal the exact same Jumper tattoo on his chin.

"Brother!" "Brother!" They hugged, knowing that there were only five more of them in the world.

"Hey, you wanna start a watch company?" Shayne asked.

"Man, that's a great idea. We could make kick ass watches and sell them for as cheap as possible."

"Yes. Let's do it."

Ten bank robberies later, they had their start-up money for Normal Watches.
