This was a bike I picked up from my best friend Peter. Not just any bike, but his late father Petes bike. I picked it up with customizing in mind.
Nothing crazy, just a quick build since I cant keep anything stock. Once I started though I couldn’t stop. I love cars and motorcycles and there is no doubt that this passion was influenced by Pete.
Hanging around his shop for years he taught me a bunch. Taking Peter and I to numerous car shows getting bit by the custom car world. So it only made sense to not do a simple build.
This was my 2018 summer. 3 months invested. And to a great man may he RIP.
