I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know much about motorcycles; other then them having two wheels and basically having to sit on a motor, that’s as far as I ever got. Growing up I was never allowed to go near them let alone think about riding one – overprotective parents, but for a good reason. That is not to say I have never been fascinated by them, what they stand for, and the camaraderie that goes along with owning one.

It’s 10 til 4 AM and here I am re-writing this feature for one amazing build. I wasn’t really happy with my original story and ended up trashing it, so here I am staring at some of the photos from the shoot, along with listening to this amazingly depressing music I have going on my Pandora station – yeah, I have a thing for music like that. With the combination of those two things happening I can’t help but think about my previous cars, things I would have done differently, mistakes I made, reasons why I sold them – and ultimately what I would do to them now if I had the chance to buy them back. How many of us have stuck by a build from start til finish? How many of us can say we went the distance?

Every now and then you come across someone that can be considered a true enthusiast, someone who has a respect and a love for all makes and models of vehicles. This type of person wont go out to buy the hottest vehicle on the market right now, he will find something he enjoys and plans to make it his own. After the car is a bit from stock he will to go out to events and meets expecting that there are others out there that have the same mindset. Sometimes, just sometimes, you will come across a few of these guys out there – but with the way things have been going you’re more likely to come across forum trolls and people with a almost disturbing form of allegiance to the type of vehicle they drive.
