My son who builds bikes for himself and friends tells me that the fad has changed, the high dollar flash bikes are at the end of the cycle, literally. It's going back to the way it was in the 60s and 70s with guys doing their own work customizing. There is a big following for the Triumphs with frame up builds that can be done very reasonably. He told me that a friend came by one of those big name biker build off bikes, and it was junk. No engineering and with many problems. They just look good.

One thing for sure is that Vinnie never go the credit he deserved. He was a reliable hard worker. On a rare occasion at a bike unvailing the company rep called Vinnie up to the stage to give him credit for mostly building the bike.
