Matt's Garage Company Bobber

Show ponies. Trailer queens. Museum pieces. Forms over function. Style over substance. Fashion accessories. All show, no go. Collectables. Garage fillers. Props. Just for looks. Whatever you want to call them, you'd be hard-pressed not to admit that quite a few custom bikes aren't really used as actual transport. Whether it be the bank-breaking paint jobs, the lose-your-mind loudness of the pipes, or the whole "it doesn't matter - I'll fix that after the photo shoot" attitude, there's plenty of customs out there that can't really cut it out in the big, bad world of, well, the world. But here's one that fits into that pigeonhole like a tractor fits into your pants. What you are looking at in these here digital-type photographs is a custom that has been ridden day in and day out to the point that it fits Matt, it's owner, like a pair of custom-made leather riding gloves. We're guessing that's more than most of us could say about our own bikes, and we think that most of them would be a touch less bespoke than this little gem. Ladies and gentlemen, pop it into top gear and relax those arms as we take a nice, long ride with Mr. Musial and his Garage Company bobber.
