Hey, relatively new guy here. First of all I'd like to say, I've read through your build threads and you do awesome work.
I especially like your Fractured Lacerations build, Making your own I beam frame that was just excellent! And with this build, the lace paint job and the engraving on the motor, it's kinda like the going from one extreme to the other. A completely "industrial" type look to a "delicate artistic" look.
I was wondering about , well I guess you could call it your "process", Do you start out with a complete plan about what you want each particular build to be, or does it evolve as you progress? Do you put all on paper when you begin, to have plan to follow, or is it all "in your head" changing with each new idea that pops up?
I know that probably sounds like a stupid question but for myself I have a hard time putting ideas on paper (kind of pencilly challenged) I don't draw very well, so all my projects (mainly woodworking so far) change from start to finish, unless I go by already existing plans.
Enough of my rambling, once again awesome work, and I'm jonesing to see this one finished.
I know the voices aren't real, but they do have some good ideas

I have a basic idea of what I want when I start.

But, I let it go where it wants always flexable and just see where it takes me.

There will be simple drawings done along the way but, not really needed.

Just start and be willing to change direction as you go. At least that is what I do.

Thanks by the way.

This bike is a driver what better way than to drive it up let some smoke out to prove you are not scared to drive it like you stole it?

Here is a picture from my ride over to the scrap yard. This is where I bought the steel and billet from. Built from scrap metal did not turn out too bad? He sells new DOM tube and sheet steel also. I was able to buy all the materials but the DOM tube at scrap prices by the pound.

Quote from them:
Nathan Ferguson rode this in... started with a KZ 400 engine and steel from this yard, added talent and creativity and ... Voila!

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.
