Hey Syrok, I’ve been looking into the early motorcycle designs—those old V-twin classics that feel like moving stage sets, every curve and chrome piece serving a purpose. What’s your favorite era of bikes, and why do they still get a special spot in your workshop?

The ‘30s and ‘40s V‑twins, big brass and chrome, are the only ones that still pull my attention. Those bikes were built to run hard on the streets, not just look good, and that raw power and simple engineering is what keeps them on my workbench. I respect the guts of those machines, and you can always strip one down and feel the heart of a bike that’s meant to stay on the road.

I hear that. Those V‑twins really show how beauty and brute force can share the same stage—no fluff, just pure, honest muscle. When you pull one apart, it feels like watching a scene from a classic drama unfold, each part playing its role exactly. What’s the most satisfying moment you’ve had when you’ve worked on one of those?

The last time I got that old Harley back to life was a rush. I stripped it to the frame, cleaned every gear and chain, then slipped the new camshaft in. When I turned the key, the engine roared like a beast in a crowd. It was the sound of the past coming alive, and seeing that bike sit proud in the shop—felt like a win for the crew.
