nice chick, too

Falcon will shortly bust open the doors of the Academy, as the question 'When does a motorcycle become Art?' is alarm-bell loud with the Black. Super-expensive utilitarian objects typically rely on rare metal or gems to heap on 'value', but with the Black, the investment is more precious still: one year of 9 very talented people's lives, focused on a single motorcycle. This machine glows with the Life invested, and poring over the details is like falling in love - your eyes go 'ooh'.

Ian is an artist. The precision, time and detail is unmatched by the majority of "bike builders". To evolve a motorcycle from past to an individual vision is impressive to say the least. The vast majority of bike builders order engines from S&S or Ultima, frames from V Twin or they knock a few out on a jig. Bolt on parts are cut out with CNC or cad prints. There are not many people in todays motorcycle world who take the time to rebuild and modify authentic English iron. Hats off. Top shelf!

Man, I was impressed with Paul Sr.'s bike in the quad-build off. The fuel tank design, did he take his design from this bike? Just wondering, I do not mean to be critical or negative. And I am truly amazed at this piece of work/art.

Also meant to add, that this motorcycle makes a refreshing change in an era when our TV channels are awash with motorcycle builds consisting of brand new stock bought in frames, brand new stock bought in engines, guards and then multiple bits of tin plate being bent, rolled, beaten and welded together, along with tantrums and usually extremely expensive and usable workshop equipment being replaced by even more expensive computer controlled equipment all of which means less human involvement.

About as well a thought out piece of iron as I've ever came across on utube and obviously designed and built by a true engineer with a real passion for his art, it should be in the Louvre sir! for it is just quite simply 'beautiful!'
