Passed this store in Venice Calif called Deus ex Machina. Thought it was a clothing store and it is, but it's also Aussie-built custom bikes, some pretty neat: http://au.deuscustoms.com/motorcycles/

That is cool stuff. I would love to build a street tracker type bike. A friend has a Yamaha 650 twin in a basket that the body is already painted the Kenny Roberts yellow with black checkered paint. I tell him if he would put it together I would buy it. I have seen quite a few of those at Bikeweek. In a way my Versys is kind of a modern street tracker. Criswell Sent from my iPad
