Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'The Spirit' (Part #223)

'The Spirit'

This is a very special motorcycle. A completely custom made beauty with a custom name! It brings out many thoughts. The line, the style, the idea behind it, the man who created it... It all blends in a superb piece of quality that cannot be overlooked even by a most avid bike hater. If there are such! :D This is a bike with a strong message of freedom and standing out of ordinary.

Please note that Maltese crosses in biker's culture have nothing to do with any past ideology. The cross is called Biker's Cross and stands out as a symbol of freedom and valour. Usually accompanied with the skull, it is a widespread symbol of biker's subculture all over the world.

The biker's cross was first used on motorcycles in the fifties, as a rebel symbol, with an intention to wind up the uninitiated, who, of course, were quick to judge without deeper understanding. When you see a guy riding under this symbol, please bear in mind that the people are not to be judged for having biker's cross on their bikes. It has nothing to do with anything, except the biker's culture itself.

What I find awesome is the slim look of this animal. But, let's not fool ourselves that the cool style is the only thing about it. With 1140cc and a ton of HPs, this bike is very likely fully ready to outrace much larger models by far.

Super awesome looking high exhaust pipes are seldom seen. They must roar like a hundred thunders. At once, probably.

Personally, I'm not sure whether the engraving on the seat fits the rest of the story. This baby would need a harsher looking seat, more closely following the hard-core biker style. This would be my only humble complaint. :D

This is an old-school kick-start pedal! Absolutely in the style! :) Most of the bikes today have the electric ignition on a push of a button, just like cars.

Before I go, I take this super cool portrait of Bojan. Caught him in a thoughtful moment. Hope he likes it! ;)

Enjoy your day! :)
