Just thought I'd share some of his amazing work...

I know for the last couple of years he's had a booth at the IMS.  Cool stuff for sure!

What would you have him do if money were no object?

Wow, just wow.  The two bikes that made me drool were the NPA Ducati 1098 and the Cafe Sportster.  Definitely form over function; with unlimited funds, they would be both in my living room.

It is pretty amazing how far custom bike design has come. No longer just choppers there are some really incredible designs getting done.

Look at the results from this year''s Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building http://www.amdchampionship.com/results/2011-worlds-sturgis#s1 (http://www.amdchampionship.com/results/2011-worlds-sturgis#s1)

Here are a few of my favorites

The last bike is the designer's daily rider.

I would like a late 70's, early 80's Honda CB750F Supersport, give it to him and let him go crazy.

Well, crap Ray, I now have to make space, in my living room, for the Franken Beemer.
