This website showcases my custom motorcycle builds. Please scroll down to view the blogs I have written detailing the process of construction of my BMW K100 “Hornet“, my Kawasaki GPz 750 “Saki” and most recently my Yamaha XT600.

“The finished bike has an impressive side-profile, it looks almost like an official BMW concept motorcycle designed to invoke the spirit of the classic K100 – an idea that BMW would be wise to wholeheartedly embrace.”
Paul, I have spent so much time on your blog the last couple years, I feel as though I have done holiday at the Papa J Hotel. Fantastic work sir!
