One of the five finalists on Vimeo's 2010 video contest. Great little piece!

if you dropped his name in the title i think maybe this thread would get some views.  Shinya Kimura is pretty famous and well fairly well regarded.  He also started Zero Engineering in Japan and had two bikes in the movie "Iron Man" (among many other things).
Ah, the patter of little feet around the house. There's nothing like having a midget for a butler

I believe it. He seems to have some pretty good taste in bikes.  real heavy on the v-twins though.  Kimura was also on Biker Build-off (on the discovery channel?).
