He builds a great bike, now if only he could get together and sell some.
Reminds me of a sponsor I had when racing. He could build anything,

I really enjoyed reading that interview. Thanks for posting. I love the spirit of it all. Not to be outdone by Kawasaki's marketing department!

Spreading that torque to two tires so that the "grip" will be doubled (or almost).
