Walt Siegl is a master craftsman who gives vintage machinery a new lease of life. Maybe it looks familiar to you, but this bike is a ground-up custom by Siegl. The custom tank and tail were painted by Nate Weiner. Absolutely stunning work and a gorgeous tank buster.
Siegl left art school in his native Austria to pursue a road racing career in his teens. He later worked in France as a shunter in a train yard and as a toolmaker and welder in Germany, Austria and Italy. A job with an Austrian steel company took him to Moscow, where he later joined the Austrian Foreign Service. In 1985, he transfered to New York City. Siegl has been riding and building motorcycles in the old school style ever since. In 2007, he moved his workshop and his family to an old mill town in southern New Hampshire to build motorcycles full time.
