The 2003 YHWH was Featured Worldwide when it made it’s Appearance.
Using a Special Construction Technique, Mike Engineered The YHWH from the Start to Have No Downtube.
This was a Complex Technical Challenge And Became A First Of Its Kind in The Custom Motorcycle Industry.
It was fabricated from Handmade Tubing which was Both Tapered and Compound Curved at the same time.
This machine Required More than 250 Feet of Welding.
Compare this to a “normal” frame which is only 6 1/2 Feet to Weld.
It is truly a motorcycle that you have to visit and see several times to take it all in.
This Machine Won Mike and His Family a Trip to Milan Italy where YHWH was displayed at The Worlds Largest Motorcycle Show, The EICMA.
It also appeared on (2) separate American Motorcycle Magazine Covers.

As a side note: Mike Built and Completed the machine as you see it here in 6 weeks.

The Left Side of The Machine features a totally different look.
Complications of having to “Design Around” certain parts, helped keep the Design New.
It didn’t help that Mike moved the Carburetor AND The Exhaust to The Left Side.

This was in Daytona, and it’s First Showing.
It came back for re-paint as this was The Official Default Try-out Color.

And Put into Perspective with Tom Zimberoff “Art of the Chopper Fame.”
This is Truly The “Smallest Bike” I Built
to date.
