    Honda 550 with the transmission removed, turned sideways and mated to a BMW drive.

    Where's the Bridgeport?

    I don't understand your question.

    Seriously. It's pretty, and he wanted to build one. That's enough of a point for most of the people I know.

    Interesting to look at, but pretty useless to ride.

    1920 ACE, later to be bought out by Indian.

    I can see the inspiration for the 550/ BMW build

    I dig it. The workmanship looks impeccable. It also appears to be more rideable than most custom bikes of the same wildness.

    The front and rear suspension are pretty impressive aesthetically.

    It's definitely something to ride to bike shows. I have a friend with a 54? Cushman. You can't believe the attention he gets with that thing.

    With German and Japanese parts cooperating, he should have included something form Moto-Guzzi to make an Axis-themed bike.
