I cant disagree with some of the comments on function but if the craftsmanship isn't inspiring I dont know what is.

Why does every video about a cafe or custom bike have to be an art film? We don't need twenty extreme angle shots of clocks and unrelated bike parts.

Well i am impressed. With the build video, did not find it in that artsy or wasting the film space.
 Great effort put into that one.. I like most of it.. And the Gilera ? Boardtracker. Is killer.. Well done... Even has onboard air..

Yeah! FFJ has been quiete for a while and now he is blowing everything up. Guy has his bike in magazines and doesn't tell us until a month later. Now he is finding these killer builds that make me want to try bigger castings. I thought the minimum sand casting wall thickness was around 1/8" for good flow. If that's the case that bike must weigh around 600lbs.

I. Love. That. Bike.

Thanks for the research Jay.

Quadrocopter with 3 axis HD gimble? Rad. My widely just gave birth last week. Changes the world. Congrats and good luck. Have you ever seen that radio tower climb? Inspirational...,.dizzy. makes my palms sweat.

How about posting the pic of your bike in that cafe mag? I found that inspirational. I've never met you but have bragged to people at work that " my buddy just had a build up of his bike published in a motorcycle magazine".....
