Love Cycle #1

My first bike oh how I miss it. It taught me a lot and hurt me a lot. I wonder where it is?? This was it in its 6 or 7th version of me always changing her up about 6 years ago.

  1. I remember seeing this on ebay when I was like 15 or 16 years old. Back then, it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I was so obsessed with it, I tried to come up with schemes to get my parents to buy it and store it in a shed so I could buy it back from them after working for the next few years. Not surprisingly, that plan was a bit absurd, and didn't work! Haha. But anyways, props for building amazing bikes Jeremiah.

  4. I know exactly where it is now. A guy in San Diego sold it to a friend of Yaniv's (Powerplant Motorcycles). The guy that bought it owed Yaniv some money, so he gave it to Yaniv. Yaniv immediately cut up the frame and modified it, and changed the whole bike around. It is sitting in his shop right now. A completely different, still unfinished bike. He says he is trying to get it finished for born free this year. So, if you see him with a shovel at Born Free, that's your old bike. He split the rocker boxes and did a bunch of other stuff, so you probably would never recognize it.
