The gallery goes on to
explain that his first bike, aptly named the Chicara Art 01, was
formed around a 1939 Harley Davidson U Motor flathead engine and a
3-speed transmission from the same year. A composition that
includes 500 components handmade by Nagato, the project took over
7,500 hours to complete and was priced at about $384,000. The
investment in time, however, returned a first-place finish at the
AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building in 2006. Each of
his six cycles since have been equally worthy of exhibition,
including his latest one—which was inspired by, and incorporates,
security cameras.
