Meet Verruca. Those of you that remember Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory will definitely remember Veruca Salt the spoiled little girl who flew into a tantrum every time she didn't get what she wanted. Well what better name for our new little bratty salt flat race inspired bike. This bike started out as a trade. I had sold the Cooley at Vintage Days to a shop in Columbus and with it I got a bike with no title, a GS450. I Sold it to a friend of mine, J-Rod. He sat on the little GS for a year until this year at the Kentucky Kick Down. I was getting worried that he wouldn't do anything with it, so I helped him find another GS450 with a title. The two bikes will be blended to create Veruca. The frame and some engine parts will be coming off the new GS but most of the old GS will be put onto Veruca. The original GS was anything but original. It had the wheels shown the the picture along with a fork and rear end off of a GSR 1000. So what we are going to have here is a beast of a bike that will ton up plus, simply because of gearing. We are hoping to run it at the Ohio Mile this year and show it at the Lou Vin Tent at AMAVD this year. Other bikes that continue to be in the works with us are "2" and the Flyin Hawaiian. J-Rod is painting all for the Veruca build (I love the Barter System) The overall theme for this a balance between the raw and the polished...Keep watching the site for more pics of the Veruca build and other stuff too...(merchandise is coming soon, and with several call on leathers after seeing Dusty's work we are now offering custom leather painting and design.)
