Thanks Laguna!

What a long, glorious weekend and ride to and from Laguna for the MotoGP. Special thanks to all that helped make it happen, and make it so much fun!

 Each and every year, I try to push the envelope and see just HOW hard we can push ourselves to get a bike built and ready for Laguna, and this year was no different. Three bikes in three weeks. One was minor, one was fairly major, and one was a complete build!

 Leo Vince, our long time sponsor, was kind enough to offer to host some of our bikes at their booth on vendor row, and they also asked us to make a bike to commemorate their 56th year in business. This bike really pushed us, and helped us push our limits and skills as fabricators, and craftsmen. Hand formed aluminum tank and tail section, Ceramic bronze frame, hand burnished swingarm, and some of the best bits from Attack Performance, MotoWheels, CRG, Renthal, and of course, Leo Vince. Look for this bike in the Magazines very soon.

 Affari Seri, Italian for “Serious Business” if my bike, like mine personally, like the one I ride like an idiot every weekend that I think my license can take it. She was originally done in gloss black. Well subtle, very sinister; too subtle, as most people looked at her and thought she was pretty much stock, and the truth is that she is FAR from it. The black comes off like a prom dress, and a Bonded Chrome goes on. Much, much harder to keep clean. Much brighter, and really highlights the work and hours into the bike. Tragic that I cant ride this damn thing on two wheels.. Ever.

 Pics and all that to come soon, Our Product line is expanding, and our service shop is doing our best to keep your best doing its best. We got what you need.

PROGRESS

18 hours days, 14 days in a row. So much Rockstar, I think we would each bleed it were we cut. Hand hammering aluminum and metal finishing parts is fun to start, exciting to progress, and tedious to finish. Decisions, routing, endless painstaking details that no one will ever notice, but I know they are there.

Today marks day 15, full throttle. 7 work days left, plus one day at the Mikuni Calendar show in Long Beach. One bike is 80% finished; one is completely blown apart, with everything at outside process. The hundreds upon hundreds of man hours invested into a bike like this pays off, but mid way through, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Push a bit harder, we never fail, never miss a deadline, never quit

BTW, if you want to follow us, I can update Face Book from my phone, and that is
