          I dunno. I figured he had a lot to say about the feeling behind his builds.

            Pretty much goes without saying. Anyone who builds something from nothing has plenty of passion.

              That's what I liked about it. In fact that's what I like about fellow bikers and GSR

                Video reminds me of the bikes; more focus on art and not enough on content/function.

                      I think the most signifigant thing said was, "we always had motorcycles in the family, my dad always had something laying around." Don't under estimate the power of a dad...

                        thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it. For those here who were wishing more 'meaning' he is a bike builder, not a philosopher. I appreciate that he is building from his roots and is not going the 'commercial' way of custom bikes.
                        I think one of the truest things he said was about how he loved doing it, and had to find a way to make a living off it. He is doing what he loves. Not trying to find a profit from selling 'custom' bikes that are just off the shelf parts bolted on. I liked it.

                        Nice video!
