-the dream weaver-

i started this project a few months
ago with my buddy jason. it started as
a tired clapped out stock shitbox.
my friend toby re-did the motor and
helped when he could. jason started very
green, but picked up shit very quickly. i would
point him the right direction and he would
always be eager to try the rest. he's one
of those rare people that removes ego from
learning. it was inspiring to be around that
sort of attitude. it was a lot work, but work
with a friend a lot of the time just feels like
hanging out. thing runs great and is super tiny,
i shortened the shit out of the hardtail and
everything just fit together. i don't get a chance
to mess with triumphs much so it was a welcome change.
congratulations jason. you earned it.

Once again, nice work. You and your pal built a sharp looking bike. Must of been nice to have the schaaf looking over his shoulder.

Can't wait for my time to come to find the bike that will be mine and put it all together. This bike is beautiful.
