I like that it was apparently built "old school" with no CNC machining. That took real machinist skills.

Understanding how bikes work is one thing, but to see one created out of raw material, a masterpiece like this, is impressive.
Love the exhaust note.

Have anyone made any of the stops that the cannonball run made when they came close to your area? The first one had a stop in oklahoma. I drove up from south of houston to see these guys. Incredible, with open valve actuators, some with belt drives. All bikes were 1915 or earlier. Oldest was a german woman on a 1907 bsa single, i think. She rode that thing coast to coast. No transmision, just direct drive with a belt. She push started and hopped on when it fired up, rode away. The sponsers allready had aluminum baking pans full of cat litter ready to put under the bikes. It was a new civic center there and they didnt want the drive mucked up with oil.
The home built in the video is incredible.

Someone said "masterpiece".

I think that's a modest assessment.
