Well the article came out in the magazine. I’m not 100% pleased with it but that’s life and best for future discussion. Figured I’d at least post it here so people can see, even though I no longer work for ERTR as subcontractor. Feb '09 issue of EasyRiders Magazine, page 74. Apparently there is also an article in NY Rider magazine as well, but I haven’t read it and don’t know if it’s a repeat of this same article or not.

Thank you. I’m actually going to call Fred sometime in the future and see if I may be able to have him bring the bike to an event for all you guys to see. He is a GREAT guy when it comes to that, one of the best customers I have ever worked with. I can personally go see the machine as it’s a phone call away, but it’s always nice to get peoples impressions when they see the bike first and and get to ask questions.

congrats on the article. Looking at the bike in person you can really see how much work and how many hours must have gone into it.

So now we can tell everyone that Adam makes car show/bikes right. 😉

The bike is amazing, I’ve seen this bike in person and I just couldnt imagine any photos to do the bike complete justice becuase there are just so many intricate details in bike. One of the nicest bikes I have ever seen better then some of those high profile bike maker wannabes, cough OCC, cough. Adam those ripped jeans of yours are famous know you can never through them out no matter how raged they get now.

Much appreciated guys. Tattered pants are still alive and kicking, however those K-Swiss have gone the way of the dodo 😉

What JVG said though is 100% correct. You cannot simply look at pictures of this bike and notice everything. It just isn’t possible. The sheer effect of the remote controlled components is enough to justify needing video, or seeing it first hand.

I’m really going to consider trying to work the bike into an event this year for local people to view up close.

That bike is absolutely amazing. There were parts moving that I couldn’t even comprehend when I saw it in person. Unbelievably complex. Adam and Pete did a great job on it.

Now if the article could have given Adam the credit that is justly due him…
