Get an e-mail from confidant and photo man Curt Lout that says… Bandit’s on me like leaky oil on a Shovelhead. I'm going to shoot G-spots black bike on Sat. the chick is Gina. She’s reliable, as far models go…get it handled soon or you an I are going to get shot and buried in this fuckin snow and won’t be found until spring. I hear the Bikernet assassins are hot broads who know how to use small arms and are smooth operators.
It’s never easy to write under pressure but after that unfortunate avalanche (I heard it was a Bikernet writer who didn’t hand his piece in on time) this weekend I figured I better heed Curt’s warning and get crackin. Lucky for me I know Geoff from G-spot. I’m not proud of knowing a grease ball biker like him but we’ve gotten to know each other over the past few years and he builds some wild shit…as a matter of fact he had the first ever GOB feature with his Evel Knievel bike.
As I’m writing I get an instant message
“Where’s the story? You have been typing all day, and keep getting distracted by those pics of Gina…she’s hot but you have a job to do.” No smiley face here…
I look down and see a red dot on my heart and realize those Bikernet bastards mean business. I blink and it’s gone maybe it was just in my head, no sleep, shoveling out of 3 feet of snow and way too many stimulants, but I get Geoff on the horn and realized the bike was a hot little number that was unveiled at last years Denver bike show and swap. It is a bitchin sanitary bob job with the G-spot touch. He has been trying to unload it for almost a year now and it looks like it went up for auction on Ebay
Last time I looked it was selling for 10K, and that’s a killer price for this sport little machine, hell even twice that’s a good price. I would buy it myself but know that I need a bike with a 100-inch, 4×4 Revtech like I need a faster car…just more tickets.
G-Spot was founded and fueled on and that beautiful human emotion…anger. Geoff had been into bikes since he was a kid, and when he decided to look into building a custom American bike he was treated…well he was treated like shit. The local shops laughed at him and his young greasy, cocky demeanor. What they didn’t know was that this guy had a very successful business, that started out with just one single thought and gave him a steady income and dough to spend on shit he likes, bikes, broads, booze and hotrods. He gave the local bike scene a big middle finger and built his first bike on his own, no help, and has been doing it ever since. It’s the classic story about a guy building a bike for himself, someone offering him enough dough to cover his ass and building another and that just kept happening.
Another Instant Message: “U R DEAD if U don’t get it to me soon.” Sin Wu
I’m working as fast as I can goddamit! I need to calm down and get it done.
This Rigid Roadster is a salute to years past and other motorcycling disciplines including motocross. Geoff has a certain style that can be spotted a mile away, nothing unnecessary, usually black and intricate utilitarian styling. The G-Spot RR started out with a 100-inch Revtech motor, 6-Speed tranny, 3-inch open BDL belt drive and a Rigid 240 Santee frame with only 32 degrees of rake and a couple inches added to the backbone. This sled was built to ride and ride hard. The motocross bars, and shaved fully adjustable FXDX front end with old style fork boots show that he was looking for a unique style that says Fuck You to all the long bikes and hell yeah to all those guys who want a hardcore wide tire modern bob job that’s meant to be ridden.
Another instant message: “You can’t stop for lunch you puke…you have an assignment to do and until it’s complete I own you.” Sin Wu
I look down and there’s no red dot on my heart but I see in the reflection of my computer monitor another one on my forehead. Shit, I gotta get this story done, before they start blasting.
Geoff started this bike to show off his self-taught welding skills so he set to work on making sure the tank had some hotrod scallops welded into the tank. Not an easy feat but Geoff handled it and the outcome is a Sporty tank that looks like no other. The final touches needed to be added, and he decided on black paint with some pinstriping. He finished the bike off with PM controls and some Iron cross rotors cut by Pistol Pete at Deep Cut rotors.
The bike was done and it sat in his booth, at every event, getting lots of looks and even more compliments. The crowning jewel was when his buddy Curt said he showed the bike to a model friend who said she had to do the shoot with that bike.
I talked to Gina and she explained it like this… “I saw that bike and although I am not a biker, I can appreciate form and function. I look at bikes just like I look at guys and girls. If they’re well built and have style I am immediately attracted…I saw the pictures of this little hotrod and just kept wanting to see more. When I got to actually model with the bike it made me realize I need to know more bikers and get on one when it’s moving, a bike like the G-Spot RR that is.”
Geoff and the G-Spot RR completed the photo shoot and the bike will go to some lucky new guy or gal…better watch out though, because I heard Gina had a hard time leaving the G-Spot Rigid Roadster at the studio.
A Final instant message that almost sends me to the bomb shelter: “You have two minutes to submit your story…you have been dicking around all day and I’m tired of waiting. I have my finger on the trigger so get it to me NOW!” Sin Wu
I took one last look at the G-Spot RR, set my screen saver to my favorite pic of Gina and pressed send hoping the red dot on my chest would disappear… If you never hear from me again, you’ll know the sorry outcome.
