"Skull" is already the third motorcycle Andrei Cherepanov (it, by the way, also has the name of the Skull). " Uralovsky" engine was removed from his first two motorcycles. Because the motor is not annoying or anything.Build a new motorcycle on the basis of this engine took the guys from the Moscow workshop of Custom Art that in the Orekhovo. Under the motto "Manual work better!" let's cut metal cutting machine. Frame - Hardtail, long and thin. Nothing more - so sees the Skull real chopper. As I demanded from him, though some explanations as to why like it silhouette, he answered simply, not according to Freud: "Beautiful"!
Front fork taken from the "ИЖ", made direct to the wheel to sit up, leaning forward, not backward and not directly. To drive on the frame - Hardtail this is important: with her all tussock - fossa feel as though the "catch" them on the spine.
Wheel... This unique "trick" orekhovskaya group: as many spokes as they are inserted into the rim does not one Russian customizer. Limited to 160 things in the foreground and 120th in the back. Rear - car tires domestic brand "Taganka": wide and almost square. It to the asphalt clung like teeth. Was graceful tractor: as if he neither side wind, or even what kind of misfortunes are not afraid. It is not shifting, not shakes, goes smoothly along a given course.
In favor of minimalism refused from the front wing. In the rain ride unpleasant, but the style requires victims. In the design of the Skull implemented a passion for «cubism» : lever steering, rear view mirror, lever kick starter, stand, bolts and other protruding parts - all square or hexagonal shape. The tank from NSU (where only Andrew found him?). It is an integral part of all his motorcycle.

Custom Art Orechovo
Custom Art Orechovo Moscow - a name that is well known to any Russian ( and not only) biker, even if he is not a fan of "iron" of motorcycles and prefers "plastic" . They have a large number of awards . Unlike other workshops, which are born show-stoppers, CAO create motorcycles that drive well .
Many projects have been implemented on the basis of all kinds of vehicles and as a result , there was a switch to a brand " Harley Davidson ." Since 1998 , consists of exceptional professionals. Wizards - Sergei Kuzakov "Orekhovskiy" and Andrei Shkutin "Skull" . my comments:
It is noteworthy that the guys started like many in Russia do customs on the basis of boxers engines and have made many great devices. But like other dreamed of working with Harleys. And then forgot about our bikes that makes me very sad to this day.
Nine months. Someone so you need to have a baby, and Custom Art workshop as required, to give birth to this. As known to the general public biker, kastomayzer Sergey and Alexander from Moscow in this sense has long fathers heroes. After years of dialogue with them once you get used to the fact that each of the machine - it's something out of the ordinary.
Where the shoe pinches? Wanted sharp, evil design, chopper. Naturally, the development of sketches, the people lots of options. Master looked at all this and realized that a few years podnadoeli these choppers, especially on the basis of Oppositi, and anger somehow too. And so the idea with Roadman 's elegant look.
As is known, the frame around the head, but not the " Ural ". Was invented by the original design, which does not contain an ounce of standard. Was very difficult to move it cunningly devised curves from paper to iron, but nothing is impossible for people with head and hands, growing wherever necessary. And so it began !
Frame Design - the only thing that has not changed during construction. You can not say , for example, the rear wing - is the fourth option. Tanks generally typed with heels, but the wheels can tell the whole story. It was a 21 - inch 160 - spoke front wheel
(self-made, of course). Long, five minutes. Then the 16 - inch 120 spokes. Oh, not good ... And then the next customer to get your parts, started talking about what the maximum possible number of spokes on the wheel of the bike mount. This topic excites many, and it was decided to put an end to the issue spitsovki . As necessary, so do it! So there was a front 224 -spoke 16-inch wheels. Brothers harleyschiki (admirers Harley Davidson) winged front tire. Thank you!
With the rear tire at all anecdote. Vendors in the southern port of Goodyear sold here are only a set of five pieces. What to do with, salt or what? Explained to them - by Motik, brothers, not to " Mercedes." Well sell one ! In any! And one of the most " paltsasty " authoritatively said: " In such a motorcycle tire life will not put ! ". Was caught on the word, half an hour later he was presented with the publication of the magazine one of the creations Custom Art, and the issue with the rear wheel has been resolved.
Stylish stitched permanent seat, proven time and again the master - Tatiana Barkin.
Unconventionally - under the top cross member - took their place steering rack bizarre. He, among other things, an eighth embodiment of the account. Neither homemade wheel could not compete in this event with a good old K- 750. Traverses all defy description ! Details underweight - footrests, handles, steering rack, fenders, tank, drive gear and brakes - all of his own design. Of custom-made parts only elegant mirrors from Custom Chrome.
Traditionally, all that emphasizes handmade delights, was polished - zagravirovano - othromirovano. For example, each of some of the spokes. Occupies a special place pendulum - it, because of the highly curved form proved hardest othromirovat. The result was a kind of oppozittsioner - Opposite apparatus that throughout his appearance contrasted with other well-known.
P.S. Once again, for the doubters: unit - not a show - stopper and decoration workshop, he is also actively driving instance. Model acceptably controlled, has a comfortable fit and classroom dynamics. Checked!

comments:
Magnificent
bike made back in 2003. Apotheosis of effort and skills Sergei Kuzakova
(Orekhovskiy) and Alexander Shiryaev (Skull) from the workshop «Custom Art
Orechovo». In my opinion this is their best work. Which has not been surpassed
not by them not kamu else, not to not after.
Not
everyone will understand what is its uniqueness (especially foreigners). And
for example the fact that the motorcycle on the rear wheel worth automobile
tire is not the idea of the authors. And the fact that in Russia then tire of
the motorcycle was not to buy. And even order is almost impossible.
I mean this size. Look at engraving individual
parts, the unusual shape of the traverse of the front fork, front and rear
fender, exhaust system, the various elements of decor, whether it is a triple
bottom plow in front of the bike or foot gear lever and brake. Branded
"Orehovskaya" spokes wheels which became their trademark. Superbly
laid out design of the entire motorcycle who is now 11 years, but even after
this time will see the car on the road will not remain indifferent!
P.S. I
tried to find information about the fate of the motorcycle. As I understand it
the first owner was Sanya "Pokemon" from the motor club
"DRIVE" Kolomna Moscow region. But where the unit is now known to me.
I would like to know what happened to him, whether he goes or not and indeed
see it live.
Front fork taken from the "ИЖ", made direct to the wheel to sit up, leaning forward, not backward and not directly. To drive on the frame - Hardtail this is important: with her all tussock - fossa feel as though the "catch" them on the spine.
Wheel... This unique "trick" orekhovskaya group: as many spokes as they are inserted into the rim does not one Russian customizer. Limited to 160 things in the foreground and 120th in the back. Rear - car tires domestic brand "Taganka": wide and almost square. It to the asphalt clung like teeth. Was graceful tractor: as if he neither side wind, or even what kind of misfortunes are not afraid. It is not shifting, not shakes, goes smoothly along a given course.
In favor of minimalism refused from the front wing. In the rain ride unpleasant, but the style requires victims.
