Bringing something into the world that didn't exist yesterday is really a fun process. Especially when you've never done anything like it before. I'd never designed a motorcycle, nor built one. I learned the skills, tools and technologies required to bring the bike to life. And bring it to life we did!

The concept painting

I started by studying the lines of the original Aston Martin DB9 as that was the inspiration the collector had selected. I then started to capture the base brand lines as they translated into a 2 wheel platform. I went through about 15 iterations before finalizing the form above.

The finish bike

Once the concept had been approved, my business partner and I built the bike from scratch. We selected a British powerplant, put it on a table and began to sculpt around it. In the end, several folks helped throughout the build. A special hat tip to Fraser, my body guy who made this thing as smooth as glass.
