The other reason for my visit to Retrogrades HQ was this very bike...its my project 45 build by Didot at Retrogrades, this the latest update apart from the fixin bits and pieces for the motor...I guess I'm a very happy man at the moment...got my new born baby girl and a bike project in progress...I'M HAPPY
Gardu Tanpa Orang ("automatic toll ticket booth" in bahasa) is what GTO means in Cipularang Highway, Bandung, West Java...
Some might say, " hey is that from the latest greasy kulture?, or did you checked out that rad jockey shift knob from that bike in the horse mags?, all i can say is, we've all done it, it's either from magazines or the stuff we Googled...i mean c'mon?, live a little, what's an original these days?, i dont fucking care.....personaly, i think every body copies from somebody, which i think is ok, when we copy stuff, of course we tend to innovate or maybe tweak it a little to make it our own creation BUT, by inspiration....we are just human and we get inspired by things and people in life, not everyone gets a taste of caviar or in my case an "Evil engineering belt drive" haha...so to anyone who thinks that there are rules in creating art, then fuck off, you're just a damn yuppie in disguise and if it's worth anything then i'm sorry if it had to inspire me to copy an artwork but modifying "The Original" to make it my own, no offence but yeah i'm wearin this bust up skate shoes for work hmmmmmm what brand is it??? or did i copy that from a $15.00 biker magazine too?? so i guess ya gonna have to diss the whole Choppertown nations then, so fuck the rules, you got any?, i'm here to break it...... go ride your fuel injected 1200 custom sportster with heated seats extra chrome grip end caps and windshield!
I'm pretty tied up with working on some paint projects for my buddies, here's one i made earlier.....he he he just finished the last coat of clear for Mr Beer Gut's tank, will get it to dry and wet sand it before doing some tiring compound work, and hope to post some of his stuff when i get his permission and oh, no riding yet for me, still waiting for damn parts....
