Unique or "One Off" motorcycles and choppers are often a reflection of the builder that had his or her hands on each individual part. A builders passion for motorcycles can be seen in the both the details and the overall design. Time, experience, and immersion into the life is a recipe for aesthetic designs that will create that all enchanting "wow" factor. The passion for motorcycles is sometimes the only thing holding our industry afloat these days. Passion is certainly a driving force from the outside view point for many builders, but it is precision that separates craftmenship in this industry. Precision is not simply born from passion. It is not enough to simply be passionate about motorcycles and engulfed in a life of grease and gears. The need for precision comes from a deeper place... an obsessive place... That place where money and time hold no value, and only truth exists... It is a place with no fame and no recognition, and those who seek to find it do so because they must... For those who understand, will always find gratification and reward in their search for precision, no matter how arduous the journey. The rest however, will hold to passion alone and forgive themselves for the shortcuts.
