Deimante, well presented the mint Arnie! 👍 Again, Simons builds at Mint Customs are done consequently. 👌 Even as a not-V2-guy you have to commit it for his Harley-builds. 😉 He and his sons were inspiring me to finally get my own build started. That should be mentioned.🤘 I really like Simon's bolt caps for the cylinders. 😀 🙏 for sharing. 🤘 ✌️ Martin

Hi! Wow! It's a customized video of motorcycle that shows me the best fun and healing Have a lucky day 👍👍👍

Great video and bike. I Loved the old guys striped prisoner pants. LOL

To me this is the Quinticencial Chopper, almost everything is from Different bikes & has been "Chopped" to make it a true "1 Off", the fact that some of it is out of a Skip just makes it all the better, I started building like that, my first bike Panther 650 was entirely from the Tip, that Kicked me off at 12 & from then on the Tip was one of my "Go too Places" for parts, almost every bike I ever owned including British & Classic bike's came to me in bits, & I built a hell of a lot of bikes using stuff I found at the Tip, was given or pulled our of someones shed where it had been for a hundred years, there are so many "Professional Builders" today that don't have a clue about "Custom" they put a few bits off different bikes on to a build but nothing ever truly "Bespoke" or worse still use a "Kit" then sell it to some "Trendy" that has no clue or interest about the bike they are buying, they just heard the name & know people want it, that's why so many Older bikes, I'm talking to you Honda CX500, are so expensive, I met a guy that paid £40,000 for a CX500(can youimagine all the beautiful bikes you could get for that?) it had a Kit on it & no Mods(engine, breaks, gearbox) whatsofuckinever, they were pretty Mundane when they were New so imagine that performance today, I build for Pleasure & Pay, no Frills Cafe bikes, I strip off all the "Nanny Systems" ABS on a Triumph weighs 105lbs, imagine what that does to your Power to Weight ratio, & all the other heavy expensive stuff that a Proper rider doesn't need & I make sure that every one has at least a few Custom Touches that no other bike(to my knowlage) has, I only sell to those I have ridden with because so many of these younger guys cant ride without "Nanny Systems" & they can kill themselves without my help. What I see there is a bike I would love to own, & I don't say that about many "Harly's" most are just thrown together with parts anyone can just go out & buy themselves "Custom" to me means 1 Off, no other person has anything quite like it, you can easily find it in a sea of other bikes never mind a CarPark & you are Proud to call it your own, Cafe Bikes or Not(See what I did there?) I do like those wheels. Well done sir, it is a credit to you, & I doubt whoever looked at it they would never think you built it in 2 weeks.
