The Bike According to Roland: "Performance Machine needed a bike to showcase
the Contour Wheel and I wanted to build something completely on my own. I bought
books and instructional videos on how to bang out metal. Bought a few tools and
Todd and I went to work. This is was the very first time we created anything
from sheet metal. I drew up the concept and stuck to the design from day one.
Exhaust system is hand fabbed, triple trees are carved out of huge chunks of
aluminum, bars were created from scratch. Very little of the bike is off the
shelf."
