Anyone can buy a motorcycle but a chopper shows your artwork everywhere you go - Tom Fugle

Tom or Tomas Gerome Fugle (pronounced f-you-gal) from Soux City, Iowa, is a 72-year-old craftsman and garage builder, pushing himself to build something unique and finely finished.

The video was shot and directed by Scott Pommier, biker, photographer, film maker we've profiled on EatSleepRIDE.

Tom has built some of the most iconic bikes known and his art & leather skills are legendary. He has inspired so many with his builds, his detail & his unique paintwork. Tom is one of the oldest builders to be invited to Born-Free.

The organizers of Born-Free awarded Tom with a special prize trip to Japan to show off his bike at the Moon Eyes show in Yokahama, December 2014, the largest custom bike event in the world.

Born-Free takes place every June in Silverado, California and has quickly become ‟the” place for old and young from all over to ride in, see, and talk about old iron for one day. It's where custom builds and the classics take the spotlight.

Here's a couple update pics of Tom Fugle's BF6 build.
