and no cycle poseur would be complete without a chopper.




69 Amen Savior framed 650 with a springer front end (sultan shoe)

The paint was redone exactly as it was painted in the 1970s. It's fun to ride if you don't have further than 15 miles to go, require going over 60mph, and don't have to turn or stop.

I also turned an RD400 into a cafe racer.




once i got everything done the way I wanted it, I seized the motor doing plug chops. It was pushed to the back of my garage and I later sold it. Don't worry, I lost my ass on it.

my best friend also manages a dealership. I get weekend test bikes.

Last bike: Can Am spider. meh




I got the superduke for an afternoon. I think it's overblown by motorcycle magazines. It's a neat bike. However, it's a neat $9000 bike. Top end suspension and braking components and dodgy injection with a rather uninspiring motor. I've heard people say they are a different beast uncorked. I hope they are right.

that's it for me. I just ride now when I have the time and wrench when I can't sleep.
