Thought this was interesting and definitely outside the box. Sorry if this has already been posted but I didn't find it using the search function.

Nesbitt says this motorcycle is the first to use this much titanium and carbon composite structurally.

JT Nesbitt is one of the members of this ADMCi daisychain.

He was formerly a designer at Confederate.
