I don't understand your question.

Seriously. It's pretty, and he wanted to build one. That's enough of a point for most of the people I know.

1920 ACE, later to be bought out by Indian.

I can see the inspiration for the 550/ BMW build

I dig it. The workmanship looks impeccable. It also appears to be more rideable than most custom bikes of the same wildness.

It's definitely something to ride to bike shows. I have a friend with a 54? Cushman. You can't believe the attention he gets with that thing.

With German and Japanese parts cooperating, he should have included something form Moto-Guzzi to make an Axis-themed bike.
