It's the little things...

Something as simple as a CAD drawing for our frames can get me excited. Because I know something little as this can turn into something beautiful at the end.

Bullet




Vintage Schwinn frame, bare metal tank, aluminum mags, Brooks Saddle, Quill Stem, Oury grips, shortened bars and a dropped springer to give it a lower, more aggressive stance. A real blast to ride, especially when you're reaching the limit of it's top end speed and things start to feel unsafe. All while carving corners, splitting lanes, and other things that'll make your bullocks turn brass. Dangerous? Maybe. But safe is boring.

Once upon a time....



....during a warm summer day in San Jose California. 4 grown men decided to take advantage of their unemployment and venture off to a metropolitan land of Golden Bridges, inclined hills and drunken hobos. Equipped with their trusty motor bicycles, satchels full of beer and high spirits, they rode through the land zipping through red lights, fast hills and streets flooded with foreign tongued tourists who traveled across the seas. During their adventure, one man crashed in front of a group of beautiful wenches and broke his pride, another terrorized pedestrians with his unmuffled iron horse while the other 2 smoked a magical herb that gave them incredible insight which guided their course. After the day was done, all felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that they just had won a battle against a beast they called the recession.

Can it be that it was all so simple then?


In a world of EFI motorcycles, and 2 wheeled RV baggers complete with surround sound 12" woofers, I have to look back and appreciate yesteryears simplicity.
