I built the pinhole camera as a kid. 349 00:20:18,801 --> 00:20:20,302 It's one of my first loves. 350 00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:23,681 Photography, like, I never thought I'd become a pro skater. 351 00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:26,976 My plan was to become a photographer for skating. 352 00:20:27,518 --> 00:20:30,521 I got my first couple paychecks from skating. 353 00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:34,817 I had this kind of, like, bucket list where I was like, "Man, Leica M6." 354 00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,903 So I go to the camera store, I buy this Leica M6, 355 00:20:37,987 --> 00:20:41,574 but I was so scared to take it anywhere 356 00:20:41,657 --> 00:20:44,744 and shoot it in Oakland because I'm in Oakland. 357 00:20:44,827 --> 00:20:46,996 And it's got that big red dot on the front of it. 358 00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:50,207 I put tape over the dot, but I think most of all, 359 00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:52,793 I was intimidated by the people I was around. 360 00:20:53,544 --> 00:20:56,380 Then I meet Jason and he's, like, throwing 'em around. 361 00:20:56,464 --> 00:20:59,133 Like, I mean, he tossed it across the table 362 00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:01,135 and I was like, "That's punk." 363 00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:06,474 Mine's locked away in a toolbox inside of a safe inside of silk. 364 00:21:08,017 --> 00:21:12,938 So, we're in Japan and he-- I hook him up with the bike through Gak 365 00:21:13,022 --> 00:21:18,819 and he decides to hand me this 1958 M3. 366 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,491 When he handed it to me, he said, 367 00:21:23,574 --> 00:21:26,786 "Don't keep this one locked away in your toolbox." 368 00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:29,747 And I don't. I keep that promise. 369 00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:34,043 I can't blame my equipment on my bad photograph. 370 00:21:35,002 --> 00:21:36,587 It's on me. 371 00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:40,966 You know, I got a really sick tool, one of the best. 372 00:21:41,050 --> 00:21:42,384 And... 373 00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:46,806 I've seen a lot of people take amazing photographs on really shitty cameras. 374 00:21:47,723 --> 00:21:50,351 This is my favorite type of photography, really. 375 00:21:50,434 --> 00:21:52,311 You know, it's like you're not trying to win 376 00:21:52,394 --> 00:21:54,480 any awards or blow any minds. 377 00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:58,150 You're just documenting a time, 378 00:21:58,609 --> 00:22:02,655 a special day that you'll probably end up forgetting 379 00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:04,740 'cause new memories will come through. 380 00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:08,452 I just carry the camera with me all the time now 381 00:22:08,536 --> 00:22:12,915 and I'm very mediocre at it but it's... 382 00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:16,210 I love that. Like, I'll never be the best welder, 383 00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:20,256 I'll never be the best painter, I was never the best skater. 384 00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:22,299 I love that about things where you're like... 385 00:22:23,217 --> 00:22:25,469 there's always a place to reach to. 386 00:22:26,595 --> 00:22:28,764 The lens has already started to brass, 387 00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:31,725 the brass paint's coming through the black lens. 388 00:22:31,809 --> 00:22:34,812 I started going down the rabbit hole of the Leica brassing 389 00:22:34,895 --> 00:22:37,147 and all these famous photographers 390 00:22:37,231 --> 00:22:39,066 that carried those things throughout their lives 391 00:22:39,149 --> 00:22:40,609 and they would just, 392 00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:43,112 the brass would come through the black paint so beautifully. 393 00:22:44,697 --> 00:22:48,909 So then I said, "Well, shit, I'm gonna brass plate a bike 394 00:22:48,993 --> 00:22:52,705 and paint it black and make it look like a Leica." 395 00:22:52,788 --> 00:22:57,668 And that's how I presented it to Jason 396 00:22:57,751 --> 00:23:00,254 and I got the loudest "bro" over the phone. 397 00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:03,507 Bling, bling. 398 00:23:03,591 --> 00:23:06,135 We have the '42, the '43, the '44. 399 00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:08,512 Those are some of the rarest motors that Harley made. 400 00:23:08,596 --> 00:23:11,181 And we're taking those motors, those Knuckleheads, 401 00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:12,641 give them these motors and they go like, 402 00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:14,727 build your-- build this beautiful piece of art. 403 00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:16,604 Here's, like, this idea that I have. 404 00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:20,774 I know it's obnoxious, but it'll be good. 405 00:23:21,775 --> 00:23:25,154 Man, you can get so lost in building these 406 00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,781 because, you know, I'm a painter, too. 407 00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:31,327 And this one's really inspiring me 408 00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:33,871 because I'm working on all these different finishes. 409 00:23:33,954 --> 00:23:36,790 It reminds me of one of my first bikes I built, 410 00:23:36,874 --> 00:23:42,046 the 4Q bike, where I was on a budget and I was just so excited. 411 00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:45,925 I would wake up like 8:00 a.m. and go right into the garage 412 00:23:46,008 --> 00:23:48,010 and just be there all day. 413 00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:49,929 I mean, God! 414 00:23:50,012 --> 00:23:51,680 -Dude. -I think that'll be cool. 415 00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:54,516 These fuckin' things, man. 416 00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:59,188 It's super cliché what I'm about to say but you'll hear a lot of people go, 417 00:23:59,271 --> 00:24:01,899 "It takes one part and you get an idea to build a bike." 418 00:24:01,982 --> 00:24:05,778 You know with anything you put so much into it you have to-- 419 00:24:05,861 --> 00:24:07,154 It changes, your love-- 420 00:24:07,237 --> 00:24:09,406 Your love relationship with it changes 421 00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:12,743 and I've actually just-- this thing is built in my head 422 00:24:12,826 --> 00:24:14,536 which feels so good. 423 00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:17,456 The only color on the Leica is the red dot, and I was like, 424 00:24:17,539 --> 00:24:19,708 "Man, I kinda wanna do something with red." 425 00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:25,005 But I want it to be black on top and have the red come through. 426 00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:26,757 I'll have to go into the sun here. 427 00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:32,262 So, that will wear, that'll wear through with time, too. 428 00:24:36,934 --> 00:24:41,855 It's pretty first-world to pick any year Knucklehead. 429 00:24:41,939 --> 00:24:43,607 It really is, like, it starts, 430 00:24:43,691 --> 00:24:46,193 like, when it's like this, it starts so beautiful 431 00:24:46,276 --> 00:24:51,156 and I just have to pay that, you know, pay that respect. 432 00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:05,879 The one thing I'm learning on this build is parkerizing, 433 00:25:05,963 --> 00:25:07,715 which is this chemical finish. 434 00:25:07,798 --> 00:25:11,802 So, I'm putting most of the steel parts for this bike 435 00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:15,764 into the parkerizing solution 436 00:25:16,306 --> 00:25:19,101 to make them that black gunmetal finish. 437 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,395 This would be a hilarious photo 438 00:25:21,478 --> 00:25:25,482 to send your 10-year-old self from your future. 439 00:25:26,233 --> 00:25:30,529 Because you would have no idea if you were killing it 440 00:25:30,821 --> 00:25:35,492 or not killing it or what the hell you were doing. 441 00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,500 It's super cool to think 442 00:25:43,584 --> 00:25:46,879 that it's like almost as protected as chrome, too. 443 00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:51,925 Like, it's a, there's a layer on there that will keep it from rusting 444 00:25:52,593 --> 00:25:54,553 and give it this finish. 445 00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:56,221 Yeah, that's neat. 446 00:25:56,305 --> 00:26:01,518 I mean, Jason said, "Go nuts," so I'm going pretty... 447 00:26:01,602 --> 00:26:03,103 pretty fuckin' nuts on this thing. 448 00:26:03,187 --> 00:26:05,439 I'm doing some things I haven't done before. 449 00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:24,333 Jay and the crew linked me up with a guy at Leica. 450 00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:26,126 I called him up, told him about this project. 451 00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:29,046 I said, "My buddy Dayten cast some stuff," 452 00:26:29,129 --> 00:26:34,593 and the guy went into the archives, found some stuff, emailed it to me. 453 00:26:35,844 --> 00:26:39,848 I've got a couple parts, like right here is a Linkert body 454 00:26:39,932 --> 00:26:41,433 from like that same era of a bike. 455 00:26:41,517 --> 00:26:43,060 This stuff melts down really nice, too. 456 00:26:43,143 --> 00:26:44,895 Brass, we can melt this down 457 00:26:44,978 --> 00:26:48,107 and we're gonna see what they sent me here. 458 00:26:52,986 --> 00:26:54,863 Yeah, "1942." 459 00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:59,326 So what's cool is, like, this is a '42 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead motor. 460 00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:02,788 That's like the era of this, and this piece is literally, 461 00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:07,042 these pieces were from early '40s Leica. 462 00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:08,502 Wow. 463 00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:11,296 So we melt all this stuff down, we recast it 464 00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:12,798 and do a few parts for this bike. 465 00:27:12,881 --> 00:27:14,675 -Yeah. -And it lives on forever. 466 00:27:17,427 --> 00:27:20,222 I used to shoot some film stuff way back and I loved it 467 00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:23,976 because it was almost like correlating with bikes. 468 00:27:24,059 --> 00:27:28,772 It's like the imperfect thing on that bike is the thing that makes it so cool. 469 00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:34,153 You know, you find a tank that's got a gash in it 470 00:27:34,236 --> 00:27:36,989 and it's got this brazed-over mark. 471 00:27:37,072 --> 00:27:39,158 It's like a scar, it's a memory, you know? 472 00:27:39,241 --> 00:27:42,911 And it's like the process of the bike and just snapping photos 473 00:27:42,995 --> 00:27:45,706 and it's so inspiring now, 474 00:27:45,789 --> 00:27:47,791 I feel like going back... 475 00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:49,918 all these memories and, like... 476 00:27:50,419 --> 00:27:54,798 even that out-of-focus, imperfect thing, 477 00:27:54,882 --> 00:27:56,633 it just reminds me of with a bike, 478 00:27:56,717 --> 00:28:00,888 how it's like that mess up makes the bike better and tells the story. 479 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,783 Let me see-- Oh, man. 480 00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:23,452 Let's take a tour. 481 00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:25,746 -Ohh! -Yeah, check out. 482 00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:26,955 Taka's got a lot of bikes. 483 00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:32,920 Gosh, Taka, you just keep growing. 484 00:28:33,003 --> 00:28:34,296

to go over to my buddy Taka's shop, who I'm good friends with. 492 00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:52,314 He's like, he really is the real deal. 493 00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:53,732 What year is this? 494
