The Beezerker can be yours!
Someone find this poor lady a bathroom... Looks like she needs to pee! ;)
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.
I could not be more proud to call this bike mine.
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:

I've had enough!
I am tired of being secretive about my current Ducati build. The teacher instinct in me wants to share and let people see and learn. It's no fun designing and building in a vacuum which is what I feel these top secret builds become... A sucking vertex your stuck in all by yourself! This being said I welcome all input and advise you guys may have... Continuing to learn is key to me and my creative process so please critique.
So for the past month solid I have been cutting, bending, welding, grinding, and then welding and grinding some more to fabricate the front end of the Ducati. I enjoyed designing and building the girder fork on the Beezerker so much that I decided I wanted to try my luck at it again but this time put all I learned previously into the design of this fork.
The Ducati is a fat tired bobber cafe sort of a bike and being that the front tire is a 160 I needed a design that was going to stand up to such a menacing tire.
What you see here is the product of more hours than I care to recall right now. Today was the first time I ever put the front end on the bike and I have to admit I could not be more excited.
This bike will have no paint on it what so ever so my metal work has to be top notch which I am discovering is easier said than done!
It's actually hard to go home for the night now because all I want to do is finish this thing and ride it :)

Thank you Seattle!!!



The Beezerker and I had a wonderful week end at the Ultimate Builder Competition. We walked away with the Peoples Choice award as well as First Place in the Freestyle category.... It was a kick as week end!!!!

Hear the roar of the Beezerker!

The week before the Quail was a busy one. I flew to Vegas, rented a van, and picked the bike up at the showroom within the Cosmo. After driving through the night I arrived in San Francisco at HOBO SF, formerly Hollywood Bobbers. For two days Bruce and I detailed the bike, re-torqued the motor, changed the needle and oil in the carb, reset the timing and got her running perfectly. She was running okay before but now she sounds like she is truly going berserk!!!

It's all linked...

I am building all the technical parts for the Ducati girder fork and today I put in some long hours machining chunks of mild steel into the top and bottom links. All the milling is 100% manual and my arms are feeling it after a long day like today.

The Beezerker links are aluminum and took about one quarter the time these took me to make. I chose steel this time around because I am using bushings and bearings along with some precision ground shafts in such a way that I will have infinite adjust-ability in the tension of all the moving parts. Since this bike is going to be a daily driver ease of serviceability is a major design factor.

She gets around!


The Beezerker has been getting loads of press and the requests for images and interviews is non stop.
Designing and building a motorcycle like the Beezerker, where art and design is just as important a focus as making it a functioning and street-able motorcycle, has really broadened it's audience.
I feel very fortunate to be able to push my art to this next level for it has truly changed the rest of my life in a very good way.

More than you may care to know about me:

Over the past few weeks or so Trent and I have been passing emails back and forth as well as a few phone calls in an attempt to put together a nice and somewhat informative interview. I can't say I made it easy for him given my mindless yet nostalgic ramblings at times. All said I think Trent put together a pretty fun interview. Thank you Trent, it was a pleasure!!!

Vegas Baby!!!
This past Friday I flew down to Vegas to set the Beezerker up at a new mens lifestyle store named Stitched inside the all new Cosmopolitan Hotel.


The bike is on display and consignment with a couple of bikes you may recognize.

This little KTM is pretty awesome!

Window side on the strip:

The grand opening of the hotel and the store is Dec. 15th with a New Years eve party to trump all Vegas parties.

I see you!
I have been busy going through and crossing things off a punch list of little things I wanted to tweak on the Beezerker. The biggest item was getting rid of the capacitor and replacing it with a small custom lithium-ion battery I had made. Now the halogen bulb lights up nice and bright!

Finally we have shirts!
I apologize for this taking so long but we finally have t-shirts. Our first order was totally screwed up and printed incorrectly but the second batch came out great. We ended up using a couple more colors than we first expected so there are some choices. The options are:
Medium in Light Grey only
Large in Light Grey, Sand, and Light Blue
X Large in Sand and Light Blue
For those who wanted shirts please let me know your preference. The cost is $18.00 with shipping for the first shirt, $15.00 each after that.
Please send me an email to reserve your shirt and receive my paypal info.
I will contact those that have already emailed me to confirm your order.
Thanks for your patience everyone!

the Beezerker captured
I know I have lots to catch up on for the past few months have been busy and my posts spotty at best. A month or so ago I rented a crazy big studio space and my friend Ron shot some absolutely beautiful images of the bike. We are planning on selling a
limited number of prints on the web site if people are interested.

Chris on the hot seat at AMD :)
I just realized this video is on line now. While at AMD I was interviewed by the AMD crew about the Beezerker. I hate being in front of the camera like that because my mind goes absolutely blank. After all was said and done I realized I forgot to talk about some of the coolest features of the bike like the exhaust in the frame and the mechanical disc brake... oh well!? I think they made a nice little video.

Beezerker T-shirts in the works

It's been just over a week since we got back from Sturgis. Life is starting to get back to some resemblance of normal. Finally taking some time to work on little projects that took a back seat to getting the bike done. I had all the best intentions of getting some Beezerker t-shirts made before AMD but that just didn't happen. Normally I burn screens and print them on the kitchen table. This time around I will have someone else make them so I can focus on other Speed Shop projects. I drew this a while ago and thought it would make a cool shirt. Not sure what the final color selection will be but it will be basic one color printing on a solid color T. If anyone wants a shirt I'll sell them for cost plus shipping, probably between 10-15 bucks depending on the number I order. Just let me know size and quantity... I'll place my order in a couple of weeks.
