Name of bike: The Gila Monster

name of builder: I don't know how to answer. Classic Cycles built the motor & trans and Andy put in the frame,belt ect...Tbone & Kiyo did some the fab,the bike is my vision,I gathered all the parts and put alot of the bike together,Tony helped tune... Classic Cycles let me build the bike in their shop which has been very nice and Tony had a lot of horrible advice he gave me..so thanks Tony ! I want to thank everyone at Classic Cycles..Amanda,Andy,Fugi,Bob and the Torch for all the help.
A little back story....The Bike came for Moores Cycle ( Keith Moore RIP). I talked Keith into selling me the project about 2 1/2 years ago and told him I was going to build a show bike with it...of course he did not think I would reallly follow through with it..but I did . He got to see much of the progress and we talked a lot about the bike but sadly he passed away in April. I have put everything I have into the bike and it's the best I can do.I think he would approve. I am taking the bike to the Moon Eyes show in Japan this December. It is a huge honor and a lot of pressure. I am almost done with the bike after re doing basically everything multiple times but I will make it. I have had many hands touching this bike...from the begining with Keith to parts & advice from several friends and I want to thank you all
