Here's another one of those "craftsman" videos

That bike is so completely obnoxious that I'd absolutely love to own that thing! yeah,it's rough and crude,but that's what it was supposed to be.

I think we can all relate to what he says about being out in the shop and being in your own world. No politics,no wars,no worries....just relaxing with some wrenches. You can't go wrong with that.

It's got kind of a Matrix/Zion/Nebuchadnezzar feel to it. Not my cup of tea, but that's why there's so many different kinds of tea out there.

What ever happened to that guy that took his DOHC engine to that other weirdo that was in a video like this to be re-built? Wonder if he ever got it back, and if it was too pretty to paint?

You must be talking about Ghostflame. He ended up changing gears and shooting for a tractor themed bike. He hasn't been on in forever. I was thinking about him the other day.
