A custom build, brought to life from the blank canvas of a 1982 SR 250. Stripped down to the steel frame, and completely reimagined, this bike taught me so much. Motorcycles are miraculous machines that work in tandem with the mechanics of our lives. Going, slowing, shifting. Making repairs along the way. Renewing parts to breathe new life into these two-wheeled wonders. That’s what Fern (the nickname that was given to this PNW project) and every bike I’ve owned since then has taught me. When to grab the throttle and hit the brakes. How to let go, lean back, and linger in a moment. How to scan for sights unseen and anticipate every possible outcome. #zillacash500 #moto #custombike #bikebuild #portland #motorcycles #classicbike
