Thought, Detail, Execution.
When it's done right all's left is to stand back and marvel.
Thank you for such an iconic piece.
Congrats

Re: No Quarter at the Seattle International Bike Show.
Beautiful bike, I would have voted for it to win! I can see the quality of your work and the nice lines. I really like your mufflers, seat, paint, headlight, front calipers and front fender... Etc. Etc.
Have lots of bikes... need one more.

Re: No Quarter at the Seattle International Bike Show.
Tough show to pull down a placing. Excellent news to pull a second with so much competition. Very cool.

Re: No Quarter at the Seattle International Bike Show.
Do you call it no quarter because you give it no rest when it comes to making it better?
I have decided to tear my bike down and paint and rebuild everything!
Is that giving it no quarter?

Except the engine and the stuff I already rebuilt last winter.
