Finding and showing the world great custom bikes. It's what Pipeburn does. But being at the pointy end of the whole process with it's constant search for the latest and greatest can easily make you forget about the other amazing part of the process - the part where all you guys arrive and check out the cool bikes. Now here's the really cool part of the whole process; like some crazy custom bike feedback loop the bikes we find and feature then go on to inspire the new builds to a greater or lesser extent. Like the simple, clean, elegant Honda you see here. Except in the case of Jake Lyons and his XL it was a little more, shall we say, direct than usual. See Jake went from nothing to knee deep in grease and Shoichiro design after his first ever session of Pipeburning. So if you'll allow us a brief moment of pride, please enjoy the bike that Pipeburn built.
