For me a motorcycle is more than its sum of parts, In which the most critical ingredient part is the dedication and passion of the mechanic and the vision of the owner, The milestone part in my build was meeting Sajeev and getting his wisdom, and dedication to the project. In the end, this bike has a soul of its own which is formulated by the man who built it using his heart and soul and who visualized and stood for the build.
