If you need more information, email me at HughsHandBuilt@gmail.com Hugh Psyco,

I totally support your theory, but the aftermarket stuff(made by other enthusiasts - let's not forget) is a godsend for people like me who hasn't got the space or the skills to build from scratch. More power to you and I hope you make a fortune with your skills! One of the best builds i’ve seen, and there’s no mistaking you ambition and skills.

But to me, there is a major difference between "Assembling" a motorcycle from a pile of purchased parts, and creating your own parts from nothing more than raw materials. I don't feel the need to defend what I said in this article. Its been almost 2 years since this was published here, and I've learned alot about the industry since. Yes, I get the part about supporting other shops, But I stand by my own actions and words. I am a Product Designer. It is my Job to push the envelope, try new things, and question the status quo. And though you think I was a "newbie" at bike building, which is true, it allowed me to build from my mind, not a catalogue. Paul, if this rubbed you the wrong way, I'm sorry. And please, feel free to drop me an email or check out the Blog sometime if you still feel that I am just another "Clueless" builder with luck of the draw. HughsHandBuilt@gmail.com As for the rest of you guys (and gals), keep on chopping and have fun with these bikes. Taking yourself too seriously isn't worth the effort. See ya on the road! Hugh Paul,
