Art Bikes...

Before I got into motorcycles, there were Art Bikes. What started as a class assignment to rethink and reevaluate what the idea of a bicycle is (a pretty neat idea to delve into) and I began building on the interaction between rider and machine and tried to integrate the two more organically.

Investment cast aluminum frame. Not functional ( which was the point), but it was alot of fun to make!

Older work

While digging around the old computer, I found a few sildes of older work.
My first kinetic piece from undergrad:
Dredge

Wow...

What makes a good part great? Detail and love. And wow do these guys know them both.

FROM STEEL: The Making of a Soulcraft from michael evans on Vimeo.

and yeah, I had to steal/ share this one from the Knucklebuster.

almost forgot...

Not only have I been working on the CB750, I have finished rebuilng the engine for the little CL90.

After I reseal (and weld) the tank, I'll FINALLY be able to test fire this little guy. Since it is winter and it needs new rubbers anyway, this may become my winter ice tracker. Really just to tide me over until spring. More to come on this one soon too...

been WAAAAY too long...

Yeah, well I made it to the other side of the holidays, liver and mind mostly intact. Sorry it's been so long since the last post. I started a new job and I've been working more for the old and side jobs. LOTS to do, not to mention trying to find productive time in the shop. So, to show that I haven't been totally neglecting my own work, here's what has been going on:
I finally started and am nicely underway with my first go around with making a tank for the CB750...

still a long way to go, but not nearly as long as I thought it might take. Of course, I will have to make another seat to go along with the new tank. The one that's on it now is my first go with my english wheel and for a different set-up.
Stay tuned, I'm working on the plans tonight for the seat and should get the bulk done this weekend!
