Who knows maybe it is a good investment for the hipster who has everything?  You know it is getting harder and harder to stand out from the pack of "individuals".  A $5k jacket might be the key.

The non-conformists on South Park say you have to wear all black to be a non-conformist. ???

Frank you may be massively talented, but you lack the dramatic machining video with the grinder and welding sparks.

You do deserve some street cred for the 350 and the jacket

Hey 754,
What's the top rpm's you've had your lathe up to? Did you have the choke on?
Pics or it didn't happen.

That is ok so long as the hot metal makes a nice pattern on your forearms.  Kinda like branding.  Could be a new trend.

As far as hipsters Frank has to be the granddaddy of all hipsters.  I mean just check out his beard, and he has to wear lots of flannel.  I beat flannel has been in and out of fashion several times already since Frank started wearing flannel.

Frank you need to up your useless intellectual banter too.  I mean would it kills you to go on and on about the zen of machining or some non sense.

Sometimes when I am alone in the shop making a new part I just experience this zen type flow where me and the lathe are one.  Something like that but more pretentious.

I have these all over my body. Risks of being in the exhaust industry and welding / cutting from below. Let me tell you it doesn't feel good.

So true!  Better get on instagram Frank!  I am surprised you have been able to machine anything at all without showing it off on social media.

Hipsters getting into old Hondas and Japanese bikes is possibly one of the best things that could happen for us as it creates demand for parts which propogates the market.   If the kids are worth their salt they will buy parts and rebuild barn finds.  If they are in it to look cool then they are more than willing to buy your flipped bike for an absurd price.  Win win win. 

Also, motorcycles will always be fun, let the kids ride.
