The Social Clubsport: Bike Build Inspiration

Combining Miles' creative vision with Warr's technical expertise, the project represents a unique fusion of Club Style, Performance, Hot Rod, and Chopper influences, all brought together on a Harley-Davidson Street Bob.

The custom paintwork ties the entire build together. From the outset, Miles knew the bike had to feature flames, but not just any flames. Drawing inspiration from the iconic tattoos of Chester Bennington, the late frontman of Linkin Park, the design pays tribute to the artist who first sparked Miles' creative ambitions. Seeing Chester's tattoos at the age of eleven set Miles on the path to becoming the world-class artist he is today.

The flames are executed in metalflake, creating a striking contrast against genuine gold-leaf racing stripes. Both materials are notoriously difficult to work with and demand the highest levels of craftsmanship.

The attention to detail extends throughout the motorcycle: hidden wiring, drilled components and countless subtle refinements reveal themselves only upon closer inspection.

The finished build is as capable as it is distinctive, equally at home carving through the streets of London or Manchester as it is attacking canyon roads in Los Angeles.

A personal note from Miles

"Being part of this project means the world to me. I'm not only fulfilling my own teenage dream, but hopefully the dreams of many others as well, by collaborating with Harley-Davidson on a truly one-of-a-kind motorcycle."
