thought i would share these pics today of ransom's newest bike. he finished assembly today so i went to his shop and took these pics. you guys are the first to see this. not even the owner knows what it looks like yet. the paint is spi epoxy, turbo primer and universal clear. has rm diamont base and featherfill g2 poly primer.

Outstanding Jim. Where's mine?

i'm sure he will shit one just like it out for you. all you have to do is cough up the 100g or so.

SICK!!!
I love the dark scheme he has going,, I think that's the one i've been watching on his profile, but now i see color.. sweet

Does he have customers lined up. or are they not in demand yet?

i wouldn't say he is completely booked up for the next 2 years but he does have bikes to build. there is another one he is building at the same time as this one which is close to being done but nowhere near as high end as this one. right now he is just waiting on a few people to give their deposit and commit.

Im tellin yuh, that shit should be in the movies!!! Effin BAD!!

Unbelievable design and quality. He picked the right guy to paint his bikes, nice work Jim!

Wild. Almost could see Mel Gibson riding that in mad max if it weren't so shiney. .
I would think with fuel prices, bike demand would be up, but suppose if you have 100 g's lying around to spend, fuel prices aren't so much of a concern.
You work looks outstanding as usual Jim.

What they said! But DAMN! Detailed and understated. Very nice.

As for the design/scheme, is that all you?

You need a helper? I'll fly over.

the paint and design is all me except for the cowboy skull which was requested by the owner and was airbrushed by ed. the skull has a couple coats of black candy on it to tone it down a bit and give it a darker look like the rest of the bike. bike design, fab and engineering is all ransom.

I'm sure the hours vary a lot per project. But how many on this one?

Love the simplisity of the whole thing. Everything is in harnony and subdued but screaming it's ass off at the same time.
VERY COOL...
Seat work?
Lighting?

That thing is just unreal, now how would someone even think of making something like that from start to finish?

I do know there is not enough moonshine in SE that would help me design something like that!

han, for the paint and bodywork, i have no idea. i really dont keep track of my hours because if i did i would just end up making myself sick. ransom really didn't make it easy for me on this one. all the body lines, molded taillights, edges and tight areas that have to be perfect. if i had to guess i would say atleast a couple weeks. for the fab on the bike....6mos straight.

mike, if you look at the rear shot of the bike, you see those little red circles, those are the molded in taillights i put in there. thats it for lighting. i make all his seat pans in fiberglass then they are sent to a guy in florida to finish. this one has a leather edge with a dark silver carbon center.

That is just BAD.. Jim your work is always a pleasure to view my friend.. Just outstanding
