 One last comment------why not a right side heal guard!!!!  [moto]

on the monster? probably 'cause you don't need one. that's what the carbon guard is for on the exhaust.

That is correct!  There is a Robb Report writeup on that bike that goes through all the painstaking work and custom fabrication that he did ... Mind blowing, one of my favorite bikes.

If I can't find the article online i'll scan it in

The bucket on the GC and the Hellion are both hand hammered... Gregg is the MAN...  How unreal is the Hellion? Alren Ness saw it and spent 20 min crawling over it and checking it out. Huge compliment.

Tim rides, and works at ridign better, Superbike school, etc.. and the guy can DRIVE... IMSA and SCCA championships.

He is selling it because he is thinning the herd, and making room Wink

Ive heard the same about Kris.. total azzz... Travolta was super kewl, Bale was just a regular guy, and very, very nice too.. most of them know how lucky they are, and appreciate it. Tim isnt one to believe his own hype, ya know?

William -

Good to know, hopefully he's making room for something equally cool  Evil

How unreal is the metal work on the Hellion?? I was looking at high res pics of it and ... yeow ... have some custom work on it. 

Thanks for contributing here @ DMF, it's cool to have the conversation!  chug

Is there a reason for the brake being on the CS instead of the rear wheel?

I was just wondering if there was a functional reason for it's placement. It's definitely different looking...

Thanks for the links. Those bikes are bad ass...particularly the Hellion. Paint is a little crazy, but whatever...sweeet bikes!  bow down

His swingarms look very nice as well.

Why the difference on the one he made for Tim's bike...i.e. the big plate? Was that requested? I would think his standard swingarm design would be stiff enough for an S4R, given that it's designed for Japanese liter bikes.  Huh?

The other side of it, if you can build a bike that is unreal, and awesome, send me some pics, and I will help you get it notcied in a magazine or on my TV show.

Will


Hey Will. I just built a pretty unique bike. Wanna help me get it in a magazine? Keep in mind Im a crippled 20 year old and had a thousand dollar budget.

Monster Mash, the midpipe of that exhaust is custom. They made the production piece based on the one we made, althought the locatin was changed to work with stock footrests.

Sorry if you are offended, but Gregg is the best. Thats why his client list includes RSD and WCC. The look of the swingarm may not be your taste, but the fabrication is beyond 99% of the guys that do it for a living.

The R&T and Marz forks are junk. Period. The R&T forks are the 90's KYB stuff, great at the time, but not so much since. The Marz forks dont work and are quite heavy. So we used the best avail (gas charged forks were not avail to the public at the time) and had them anodized and TiDiox coated, with Ohlins... It was a good enuf setup to win AMA superstock races, prolly good enuf for us. The shock location was again, dictated by the client. the original shock had no remote on it.

What I chaged for it is between me and the client, but Tim paid no more than anyone else would, he is a great guy and a hard core enthusiast.

Thats a nice looking bike, and pretty well thought out. Me personally, I prefer the 2v bikes since I got my first one in 93.

DrD, I dont take it personally, Im just posting here trying to help in my very limited spare time. My bikes are functional art, or at least I like to think of them that way. Huge amounts of time goes into every detail, like the grinign on the frame to remove the bubblegum OE welds.

To everyone, please dont offended to me being brash, Its just me, full throttle and very passionate.


dont say sorry its you opinion. I agree with you on 90% of what you wrote. Monstermash is just trying to argue for the sake of arguing. I have ebeen on the TOB  for  alongtime and here for a while and wrote something one time and he sent me a PM like some kind of Bassa$$....he just wants to argue.

Perhaps you should invest money and effort into grammar and spelling lessons.
