Sometimes a single bike comes along that really captures my attention as far as imagination, ingenuity and craftsmanship, but this guy has done it over and over with several bikes. None of his creations would be candidates for riding to an Iron-Butt certification, but they would sure be fun to ride short distances! All of these truly do impress me! I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did!

Re: My inspiration!
Talk about a "master fabricator" ! ! I would like to hear him make mention of design/build time for each one of his creations ! He has to have thousands of hours into these creations 
90% OF ANY JOB ...IS GETTING STARTED !

as the younger crowd would say.... NICE job if you can find one, fantastic machine work. Seems they all lack a seat I would want to sit on ......But ; who would not want a job building custom one of a kind machines. As long as it pays by the HOUR.

Re: My inspiration!
Those bikes show impressive creativity and crafsmanship ,but the ridability and long distance comfort is a little lacking. 
I also have questions about WEARING the gas tank

Re: My inspiration!
My thoughts, exactly, Loren! A couple of those seats look like they could give a guy a double butt-crack!cushman eagle wrote:Those bikes show impressive creativity and crafsmanship
And, as for wearing the gas tank, what's next? BEING a tire? Or, having no connection between the forks and frame except for the rider's grip on the bars?
Nobody said they were practical bikes! Just creative and beautifully made.
