After the bike had been completed, and had won "Best
Custom" in Norrtelje, we entered it theThe Tripout Bikebuildoff
in the UK. The organisation asked us to make a display for the
bike so I did a quick sketch and we started fabricating: |

To make the feet we traced some sneakers belonging to one
of the kids onto steel plate, cut them out and started making
toes from roundbar, roughly shaping them with the beltsander
and bending them a bit for a more organic look. |




I designed a sticker and had it printed on thick vinyl, the
kind they use for outdoor signs, and Aad machined the eyeballs
from aluminum bar. His wife Nicoline handpainted the eyes. |


We powdercoated the frame in the same color as the frame of the motorcycle
and as a finishing touch added a fake fur rug on the back. The
sign got almost as much attention as the bike at the Tripout
Bikebuildoff and our bike won the show! |
