*ascend soap box*

It seems to me that his bikes are very mechanical.  Not soft flowing pretty bikes, but more like machines.  There is a good artistic look in his work.  Practicality sometimes takes a back seat to looks: the gas tank on that bike was maybe a gallon, but it fits with the rest of the design. The exhaust looks like the one Paul Jr. did for the 3 bike build off, with flames coming out the tank.

I also like the grease on his hands.  You KNOW he's spent a lot of time in the shop just building and hammering and bending and welding.  One of the quotes was "the bike is incomplete until you ride it." I find that appropriate.  My bike's in the garage for the winter, but every time I walk past it, I'm thinking, "Just one more ride before the snow comes...it's not that cold...yeah, you'll have to top the tank off and put in more Sta-Bil..."  But I'll wait 'til spring.

That video was shot very nice. And the bike was so creative. It didn't look too comfy but super nice lines.

Wish I had the time and money to be out in the shop buildin bikes all the time, I agree they do look like machines, very industrial looking. I like it.
