Home Brew / Re: Garage build

My uncle Will was an "amateur" who made his own "home brew" in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. His art form was so precisely honed that his home brew would have been welcome at any drag race track in America. I can tell you he was a superstar in Willamina, Oregon!
A home brew motorcycle, while admittedly a demonstration of the skill and dedication (or lack thereof) of the builder, will almost always be purpose built, honed for one rider and one task, and it will very often be far more innovative and better quality then anything presented by a vendor who is trying to mass produce machines to attract a wide variety of riders.
My hat is off to the home brew motorcycle builders. I think the title is a badge of dedication and honor. I wish I had the patience to be one.
So yup, I'm a wimp. I bought a Zero DSR 14.4. Love it, and I'm already looking for ways to improve it for my particular purpose!
