Coachbuilder.
Snapped a shot of a rider on his curious machine while walking in the West Village. Just so happened he dismounted half a block later in the direction I was going.
We talked about his build while I snapped away with my camera. I recognized the Savage 650 power plant but the rest of the motorcycle was just very intriguing. I would have to ask after every shot, “How did you make that?”
Everything was hand built around the motor and the neck tube where the VIN number was stamped. He relocated the clutch and shifter to hand controls on the left side and fashioned cruiser handlebars from and his old bicycle. He used an internal throttle assembly to clean things up and fabricated gas tanks from two tubes he found at a culinary supply store.
My favorite is the tail light, made from an ice cream scooper.
His name is Maxwell Hazan from Brooklyn. He is a coachbuilder.
Keep it up Max. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

18 years later, All Apologies of the world will not forget this sad day. You have been part of our lives. Some of us, grew up listening to your pieces in a car park, locked in a car all night dreaming of a uncertain future. I miss those nights, i miss some of us. 5 April 1994 - 5 April 2012
Thanks Kurt…

Two days ago, you guys stepped up once again to show the world just how much we care about protecting the Internet. Together, we generated more than 140,000 calls to Senators, spent more than 4,200 hours on the phone with their staffers, and blacked out 650,000 of our blogs to make our point and inspire others to get involved. And what’s more, this was on top of the 90,000 calls we sent to members of the House of Representatives a month ago. Incredible.
It’s now becoming clear just how much impact our action is having. On January 18th, only 31 members of Congress opposed these bills. Just one day later, 101 members of Congress publicly stood with us in opposition. We are being heard.
And as of today, it looks like both the Senate PIPA and House SOPA bills have been shelved, for the moment. It seems pretty likely that the bills won’t pass as written — a big first win. We now hope that Internet companies, the creative community and the content industry join together to innovate and devise new partnerships to combat online piracy. We’re confident there are effective ways to do this without damaging the Internet or diminishing our freedoms.
You’ve made a big difference in keeping the Internet a safe and open place for creators. Thank you again.
