Made some good progress on the pan project yesterday.<br />
<br />
Figuring
out how to fabricate this little roundy round piece had me scratching
my head for a little bit but I'm super happy with how it turned out. <br />
<br />
The
entire head tube structure will get textured before paint to look more
like a casting.<br />
<br />
I get more excited by this build every chance I get to work on it.<br />
<br />

<br />
After scoring a free swing arm frame and with some encouragement from Kurosu San and my amazing wife I have started my first Speed Shop Design motorcycle build here in Tokyo. The goal is Mooneyes 2013 so I have some time but a crap load of work. I am so fortunate to be working along side such amazing craftsman at Cherry's Company because I am learning so much about vintage Harleys, something I have never been able to do before.<br />
<br />
The plan for the bike is somewhat out of the ordinary but I dont think people will be surprised by a statement like that coming from me... When have I ever done ordinary!?<br />
<br />
Pan head motor, frame will be de-raked and stretched up about three inches. The rear fender is going to have a few tricks up its sleeve and the tank will be a work of art if all goes as planned. Hand shift, foot clutch, front brake for the hills, awesome tire selection and hats about all I care to share at the moment.<br />
<br />
As far as Kurosu San and I know I am the only Gaijin building motorcycles in Japan which is both super exciting but intimidating at the same time. Guess this is my chance to show them that I can in fact hang with the boys here.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for more.... <br />

Yuki's bike was one of my favorites at the show but then again I am a bit bias ;)<br />

Since Mooneyes we have been busy making all the finishing little
details to get the bikes road legal including safety and registration
inspections which I have discovered are rather serious here. Lots of
magazine photo shoots are occurring while new projects are being started.<br />
<br />
Obviously there is so much more happening in my life other than
motorcycles... Junko and I have been loving our adventures in Tokyo the
past couple of months as we prepare to have my family over this April
for our traditional Japanese wedding ceremony. My family has never been
to Asia so it's going to be an eye opening experience for them and being chaperone
will be so much fun. One of the tasks Junko and I have had to undertake
for the preparations is trying out new restaurants for the formal
reception and the after party and its been so fun going on hot dates
with my wife and eating great food... everything's almost all
figured out!<br />

It will soon be two months that I have been in Tokyo. Not having a shop where I can make just anything that pops into my head has been the most difficult part of my transition to life here. Lucky for me I met Kurosu-san from <a href="http://www.cherryscompany.com/" target="_blank">Cherry's Company</a> here in Tokyo. I have always admired his design and fabrication skills and to be able to chat and hang out with him is just great.</div>

Yesterday I was able to get my hands dirty helping Kurosu-san on a new build for the upcoming Mooneyes show in December. It felt so good to be making something again and the excitement and challenge to do it in a totally new shop added that much more. </div>

I have to admit I was a little disoriented working on a lathe that was all in metric increments, this was totally new to me and took some getting use to. Between all the newness and millimeters my dyslexia got the better of me and I ended up making one of the stainless rear axle spacers wrong. It was a humbling experience to be tested again and forced to think. You can get so comfortable in your particular ways of making things and for me it has been seven years since I used a different fab shop... I had definitely become comfortable where I was ;) </div>

Today I wandered over to <a href="http://www.cherryscompany.com/" target="_blank">Cherry's Company</a> to meet Kurosu-san and check out the beautiful motorcycle he is building for the Mooneyes show. This is the first time I have met Kurosu-san or seen any of his creations in person and wow was I impressed. He is is a great designer and craftsman as well as a hell of a nice guy. The details on his new creation are freaking amazing!<br />
<br />

<br />
While I was there Kurosu-san's painter Endo-san from <a href="http://nomadconcept.net/" target="_blank">Nomad Concept</a>, was designing the paint for the new bike with him. All I can say is it's going to be sexy as hell!<br />

The shop was very well outfitted with all the right tools packed into your typical Tokyo style work shop. Small yet well organized, clean, and not an inch to spare... what more could you want!?<br />

Kurosu-sans apprentice / employee Yuki-san is a very lucky lady. Not only does she get to work and learn with Kurosu-sensei but she also is getting a bike specially designed and built by him on which she is honing her craft. Just look at the beautiful fabricated gusset at the top of the seat stays... WOW!<br />

<br />
Exactly one year ago today, while scanning the rush hour mob from this very vantage point, I waited anxiously to meet Junko for the first time. What I felt when my eyes met hers for that first time is difficult to put into words but lets just say it was something I have never felt nor will I ever forget.<br />
<br />
From now on I will be able to start each and every day of our new life together by gazing into those amazing eyes of hers and feel peace and quiet knowing that nothing means more to me than the fire she stokes in my soul.<br />
<br />
I love you Mrs. Uchiyama-Flechtner<br />

Why? Well over the past couple of crazy months I have done the following;<br />
<br />
Wrapped up the Speed Shop Triton for a lengthy thrashing period before she is torn down for paint, polish, and some aluminum body work.<br />
<br />
Designed a number of cool ass products for Slayer Espresso Machines.<br />
<br />
Moved the Ducati project, shop tools, furniture, books, and what not into storage.<br />
<br />
Sold my house.<br />
<br />
Sold my truck.<br />
<br />
Loaded myself, my bike, my dogs, and a few odds and ends onto a plane and...<br />
<br />
Moved to Tokyo!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Doing all of the above within the course of a couple of months has taken a bit of time away from doing any sort of upkeep on this blog. They say that sometimes life gets busy and I just experianced that in a way I have never.<br />
<br />
We are all settling in just fine to our new life here in the middle of Tokyo with the love of my life, Junko, and things could not be better. I am enjoying a week or two of relaxation as I get my bearings and just do nothing but explore the city with the family, sketching, reading, eating amazing home cooked food, and drinking a beer or two. Soon I will start working again as a freelance designer here in Tokyo as well as continue development of a furniture and lighting line I will produce under the name True Soul Design... more on that later ;)<br />
<br />
I have yet to decide if Speed Shop Design will continue to produce motorcycles while I am here in Tokyo. I have had numerous invitations from some great shops to come use their space and make cool shit but we will wait and see where my new inspirations lead me. Being in such an amazingly jam packed new environment is incredibly invigorating and I want to keep the road ahead clear for whatever direction I wish to go.<br />
<br />
I will be updating this blog regularly now with my travels, trials, and tribulations in the land of the rising sun so please enjoy.<br />

Someone find this poor lady a bathroom... Looks like she needs to pee! ;)<br />
<br />
The past two years have been simply amazing thanks to the impact the Beezerker has had on the motorcycle world and the design world.
Seen by thousands and thousands around the world and praised for it's timeless style the Beezerker is responsible for opening so many eyes to what is possible when you devote yourself to uncompromising design and craftsmanship.<br />
<br />
I could not be more proud to call this bike mine.<br />
<br />
Lucky for all of you the time has come to give someone else the pleasure of owning a motorcycle that will surely be remembered for ages to come. Please take a look and help spread the word that the Beezerker is available on eBay:<br />
