What was your intended objective when you started the build?

When I started the build my objective was a beautiful one-of-a-kind bike with no chrome. In 2015 there were no high gloss/matte black bikes on the market (Maybe A Night Train) and everyone told me I was crazy. Look at it now everyone is doing high gloss and matte black.

What motivated you to start your project?

Midlife crisis

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Design/machine front and rear wheel 23 spoke. 21” on the front 16” on the rear complete with a small De-rake (1.06).

What are you most proud of?

All of it.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

I get a lot of “WOW” comments.
