2 Wheel Custom

Street Cruising April has been all about the unusual.  A 59 Studebaker, a 20 year old girl with a 69 Mustang, but this may be the most unique of all of the features in April Street Cruising.  Meet Adam - Known to his mates as Adzy and his 2003 GSX-R 600.  This is one of the most unique motorbikes you are going to see anywhere.  You walk around the bike and just see so many things that give it a WOW factor.

Let's start with the fairing.  What colour is it?  Camoflage right?  Wrong - Well kind of.  If you look closely at the camoflage, you will see that it is actually a bunch of female body figures airbrushed into the urban camoflage shape.  This is one of 3 fairings Adzy has for this bike, and he can change them over in under half an hour if the need be.  If the camo isnt enough, there is also an airbrushed picture of a girl on the side just under the 7 inch LCD screen built into the fairing, and a handgun image just in front of the foot pegs.  Just looking at the plastics this thing is a one of a kind.

The fairing on Adzys bike is not the only thing done to this thing.  It has a LCD monitor on both sides, and another one on the dash, with a reversing camera. And bikes dont even have reverse.  The screens are operated off Adam's mobile phone.  It has fully adjustable air ride suspension, allowing you to adjust the ride height instantly.  Although Adzy hasnt been to the race track yet, he has a nitrous kit ready to bolt on for race use, and has had the bike dynoed on the spray at 164 hp.  Almost everything on the entire bike is modified.  The seat has GSXR moulded into it, as do the full chrome hand grips.  Almost everything under the bike is chromed or set in the urban camoflage colouring.  In all my years, I have never seen this much effort go into modifying a Jap bike.  Truly awesome. 

So it begs the ultimate question - WHY?  Well a while ago Adam was taking some DVDs back to the video shop and was involved in a nasty accident.  Adam was in his car and got T-boned at an intersection.  He came home thinking that if he was on the bike he would be dead, so it was time for the bike to go.  He put the bike up for sale and had a keen buyer come along.  Adam wanted to go for one last ride on it.  Unfortunately for the poor buyer, that last ride was enough to change Adams mind about selling, and rather than sell it, he became determined to turn it into his dream bike, and so the current version of the bike was born.

One thing I have learned while making Street Cruising is that there is no limit to what people will do to their cars and bikes.  When you think you have seen it all, someone comes up with something that just changes the whole car and bike scene.  Adam's GSXR is one of those ground breaking ideas and Adam is definitely an innovator of the car and bike scene.  On a last note, that is one crazy machine you have there Adam.  Can't wait to see what you do to it next.
