SEASON 05: EPISODE 16
Spirit Lake Motorcycle Creations Are True To The Spirit
What began as building motorcycles in his kitchen became a full-time gig for Brian Sloma. After listing one of his creations on Craigslist, and things just spiralled from there.“You see a car for nothing but a car,” says Brian Sloma, “…even if it has rims, is wrapped, and has wings—it’s still the same car. But you take a bike, you change the tank and the seat…what is it?”

Very nice film. I love seeing the passion owners have for their cars. Thanks for another wonderful film

This film really touched me and I know exactly how he feels because after doing all the responsible things you’re supposed to do like raising children, paying off mortgages, saving for retirement, etc. I finally bought my dream car, a 2015 911 C4S. I look for any excuse to drive it and it never gets boring. Sometimes I just grab a beer and go out to the garage and stare at it. I really dig Mr. Franco’s passion and it’s good to know that some modern cars can still stir that excitement and enthusiasm.

In May of this year I purchased my first 911, a 2012 Porsche Carrera Black Edition (997.2) after longing for a 911 for roughly 45 years. While there is no “64th Anniversary” edition for me to consider (today I mark that milestone), I am pleased the stars aligned for Mr. Franco in 2014 and I hope he’s still enjoying his 911 as if it was the day he bought it. I think I know just how he feels.
Conducir bien, Manuel Franco!

I bought one of these for my wife’s 50th birthday (I suspect a few were bought for that reason) and it’s a fabulous car… and it has a third pedal!

I concur with a couple comments here, I don’t like seeing Porsches with only two pedals.

This is truly great. I can remember getting my first special car, which I still own. It gives me tremendous pride and pleasure when I see it parked in my garage or have an opportunity to take it out for some exercise.

I saw one of these this weekend at a show on Long Island and it had a third pedal! Very elegant color combination and one of the nicest 911 variants.

Beautiful car missing just one little thing… a third pedal.

Something wrong here.
I tried to give this an upvote, only to see it recorded as down with no way to fix. So sorry, Dennis; and you are so right!
