Born Free Custom Builders Video
Check out this video from the Born Free 8 show of custom builders Aki Sakamoto of Hogkillers, Bryan Thompson of Thompson’s Cycles, Caleb Owens of Cro Customs, and Go Takamine of Brat Style, as they discuss their dedication to designing and building custom vintage bikes.
The video is a behind-the-scenes look at how the builders try to maintain a vintage feel using products that deliver the perfect aesthetic and functionality, like vintage tires produced by Coker Tire, the sponsor of the video. For those unfamiliar with the Born Free Show, the video provides a sense of what the show is about, including the Wall of Death, a contest of invited builders from around the globe, and a variety of motorcycles from vintage to modern.
A former Motorcycle.com staffer who has gone on to greener pastures, Tom Roderick still can't get the motorcycle bug out of his system. And honestly, we still miss having him around. Tom is now a regular freelance writer and tester for Motorcycle.com when his schedule allows, and his experience, riding ability, writing talent, and quick wit are still a joy to have – even if we don't get to experience it as much as we used to.
