Well, its finally here.................

I think I first had a conversation with Brian about 6 - 7 years ago, and bended his arm to come out of retirement, and build some of his iconic bikes from back in the day. We had the idea to build 20 cruisers, 20 pro's and possibly a number of experts!

I took my 85 cruiser down to Brians, so he could engineer a jig, so to start the fabrication and after a few prototypes this was born, along with a few others............

I will take some better pics at a later date, and maybe credit the bike with some professional pics, anyway, let the pics do the talking

Thanks for looking

very nice Nickers

If you're going to get some pro photos done though, pull that grey pube out of your chain first

....think he only built around 20 of these.... Thats crazy, he should be able to sell larger numbers of this type of machine. ... I knew back then that i would one day grieve over having missed out on this one

Maschin!
