After I finished my build, a magazine in the UK (100% Biker) contacted me regarding a feature on my BMW powered custom. I took a bunch of pics and wrote a few lines. The issue was just published. Here is the result:

Damn, why couldn't BMW have used that kind of design to revive/continue the R1200C? I'd have bought one.

Congrats on the magazine feature! Looks like a nice spread!
You need to go to some big Harley event and report back to us the reaction. I would like to be there!

Hey Randy,
Man, that's a great lookin bike. But with all due respect, I'd have rather seen a scantly clad young lady gracefully draped across the bike!
Seriously, nice bike.
