Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
THE Holy Bike
Home: California, United States
It started as a 1975 Honda 550 supper motorcycle that I took the engine out of, put it on a bench and then built a motorcycle around the engine using only my imagination, no programs, and no fancy machines using assorted handtools , drill press, and a welder, using steel, copper and brass since it is a Honda 550, I have drilled 550 holes through the frame, swing arm,front forks and seven holes right through the gas tank (THE HOLY BIKE) and the bike has no kickstand and it uses Level Ride air suspension so the bike parks right on the ground and from my cell phone using a app it will raise up about 8 inches to ride height, there is no paint on the bike, except for a clearcoat I have also used different metals using their natural colors to enhance the Bikes look
