I love that these machines are unique and that someone patiently designs and pieces together these fantastic creations.

There is something within me that would also like to be to be able to do something like this. It's not just the skills needed to do something like this but also the object created is a motorbike - a machine that suggests at freedom.

To see and hear the engine being kick started and the flames spew from the guts of the machine. To see a man sit on the bike and launch himself down a clear road to rip the engine in.
