Amazing Makoto Endo art
« on: October 28, 2020, 08:49:01 AM »
Makoto Endo is an artist that only does motorcycle art and used chopsticks and ink only. At the 2018 AMA Vintage Days he asked permission to use my 400F as his subject. I was thrilled! He spent the next 2 days creating this incredible work of art!

Yeah, that is me riding it out after he was finished.
The detail is incredible down to the reflection on the spokes and fluting on the headlight lense.

Thanks! It started as a friend's $400 parts bike. The work was worth it.
