INSPIRATION: CHUCKY A.K.A. MICHELANGELO

If like most people looking to supermoto (verb) an ATK, you turn to Google for inspiration. In turn, you will run across the very familiar pictures that Chucky (on the ATK forum) A.K.A. Michelangelo (on the supermotojunkie forum). His bike has provided an artistic accomplishment in motard'ing an ATK, since I have seen so many "not so good looking" ATK motards. Perhaps it is the custom headlight, or the custom cut side panels, or maybe the powder coated swing arm, but whatever the "It Factor" is, this bike has it. Unfortunately he has since sold it, and we must be content to peruse the pics that remain in better times when cash could be rolled and Rotaxes roared the open plains!

INSPIRATION: BONES

Not uncommonly, my desire to change my motorcycle from a perfectly happy healthy state of being into something different was not uninspired. Bones is one of those people that has taken the canvas of the ATK 605 and transformed it into many different states of awesome. From the older full frame 1995 701 SM conversion, to the 1999 605 full dual sport outfitted monster, he has managed to make a beautiful machine even more magnificent. A master of machinery, an Alaskan ATK muse, a man of vision and purpose: BONES.
