"The Build" (a book)

[DogBunny]

Maybe old news... Stumbled upon this today, and of course it caught my eye because of the XS650 on the cover.

It's not just XS650s... Five bikes, five builders, including "the legendary Max Hazan" (?)...

It's an inspiration book, can't ever have too much of that...

To be honest i haven't heard of Max Hazan before, Did some searches and had a look at his site...........To be honest again, i have seen just about everything he has done, done as well on here.

Yes, the best customs on this site are as good as anything else out there.
But, aw, c'mon. I'd never heard of him either, and I just took a look, and I have to say, his is a very impressive portfolio. They should have put one of his bikes on the cover of the book.

I must admit, flipping through a well pictured and documented book in an easy chair is a dreamer's delight. To get to the nitty and gritty the computer desk for researching and asking questions is a godsend.

To be even honester, morally Max probably owes the site a cut from the book

Said with tongue in cheek.........................Yes it doesn't matter, a nice coffee table book with lots of bike porn is more satisfying as we get older
