Which, at the time, was his only form of transportation , and subsequently got ridden ( literally ) the length and breadth of the country. From '92 on he has been living in the U.S. , and has continued to build custom rides that can be used on a daily basis. As for his everyday vehicles ? One is in the form

Do it for kids they say! Well this one’s for the kids, this is for the Chicago History Museum it’s an interactive exhibit where you can step up, climb on and peddle your brains out. The previous one was jumping off the rollers, this one will be installed soon so swing by and check it out. Big thanks goes out to Metal Magic and ACMF for giving me the opportunity to do this job and the use of their shop while mine’s in disarray, let’s hear it for friends and family.
