AARDVARK CYCLE

Aardvark Cycle provides custom aftermarket parts and modifications for Indian and Harley Davidson motorcycles in Lucas, Texas.
Aardvark Cycle was established in 1994 by Mark Trethewey as a direction to pursue a long-time passion in American motorcycling. What started as a word-of-mouth business eventually grew into a full-service, custom fabrication facility and even a local Indian dealership.

What I really liked was this statement in their "About us" section. (Please see the highlighted section).

"Aardvark Cycle has performed all types of motor and driveline work over the years, including the machine work necessary to support it. Over the years, we have built a number of show-winning and magazine-featured bikes for many of our clients. We are also very proud to have helped get several handicapped riders back in the saddle. Vietnam vets, accident victims, and other challenged friends have looked to Aardvark Cycle to help them enjoy life a little more."
I wish them the very best in this endeavor..

Skeleton Bike

This is one of the unusual, bizarre yet praise worthy customization that I have come across. A masterpiece in its' own way; this Skeleton bike is the creation of John Farr and aptly named as “The Crypt”.
Crypt uses Grade 2 titanium for frame and it is indeed a cryptic beauty!!
Creator: John Farr (www.thecryptcycles.com/) and the photographer to add more "life" to this skeleton bike is Stephen Moore. Thanks to Stephen for permitting me to use these images here. More images can be viewed at (www.shmoore.com)
