I was just talking to V8Mazda and realized that most of you probably don't know about these things I build. This is pretty much how I got my start. I started building these at about 16, to get some good fab experience. I got pretty good at it, and made enough money to start on an actual truck. So thats how I ended up here. Anyways, some pics.

Firs bike I did.





Second bike I built, was start to finish in 45 days for a buildoff. Started like this.




Ended up like this after some long nights after school and work.




Showing off my shirts.


This bike was started at the same time as the orange one above, I just didn't have time to finish it with the deadline on the orange bike.



Its now my friends and hes finishing it up. Too small for me.

And this was the only customer designed bike, from start to finish I did.




And the trick hidden brake setup.

I've built a few rollers too. I don't build these so much anymore, but I'd like to get back into it. I want to buidl one that matches my truck.

And proof they rideable, even if you're 6'3".

Thats me riding my personal bike, Zer0 Tolerance. It was one of the harder ones to learn to ride, but was fun as shit once you did. I could lean it damn far and it handled and rode awesome. The first bike I did was by far the most comfortable, and possibly the quickest. It did 0-45 in about 4 seconds. I let everyoen learn on that one.

you build for customers? how much would you charge for one like the customer built red flamed one, with pearl green paint?

You don't wanna know!

If you're serious though, PM me about it and we can discuss the options. Also shipping is pricey. I sent one to Texas recently.

This is why I pointed out the fact that I do have my own t-shirts.

Don't look too hard at that picture now.

Dude you do have the skills and that one pic danm the skirt is nice I mean the shirt is nice. hahahaha. But like I said you do have skills and for people out there that are afraid to ask throw out some prices so people know what to expect.I built 4 of those mini style bikes and the one finished was still about $6500.00 canadian and it was real basic.

Well the customer designed bike was around $4500 out the door with paint, powdercoat, all new parts and the labor/materials. The orange bike was appraised at $7k. Ended up selling for $1500. Sadly..

Ouch thats not cool. Thats why I got out the only guys that spend that kind of monies are guys that want a bike for they're son and most times it got to look simular to the one they are driving.

Yea theres not a big market for them anymore. I waited too long to sell my bike. I got the same amount for the first bike I built when the market was big, and I spent less than half what I did on Zer0 building it. Sucks but gotta live with it.

The customer bike was actually built for a professional UFC fighter, who wanted it for himself. He ended up being a real dickface.
