After 5 years or so… this one finally made it off the shelves and back into action.

Hommage to the bike I built for Shane
This is weird. A friend sent me a link to some YouTube videos that people made with the photographs of the bike I built for Shane.
This guy needs some editing skills. Could have been shorter with the photos cropped better:

Shane got his bike today
I had to have a little bit of fun with Shane to aid the surprise of getting a new, rebuilt, kick ass motorcycle.
Apparently the various truck drivers from LA, Chicago, Minnesota and then to North Dakota all thought the bike was for a girl or a very feminine man…
Shane and his new toy. Streamers were the last secret touch to a bad ass bike! Ha ha ha…
And so it begins…
Another bike build. I have stumbled upon some fortunate luck (but somebody once said luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it). Every few weeks, I seem to get a random email about my last bike build. Somebody will compliment me, or ask me how i made something, or what parts i used… but one came in a few months ago that caught my eye. This one was different. It was VERY complimentary, honest and came with an inquiry to build another bike for author. Before i knew it, phone conversations were made, we hit it off, and game on. Time to find a donor bike to turn into a cafe bike like mine. I couldn’t be happier to have a project like this going for a guy who appreciates my taste in BMW motorcycles. Time to get to work…
