A 1974 Honda MT250 Elsinore made into a flat tracker. Andrew Campo of Meta Motorcycle Lifestyle and Culture Magazine put the donor bike in the hands of Dentonmoto and said to “just do something cool with it” shortly after meeting him in Denver. Anot
This bike was meant to be ridden. Steve working the flat track at Perris.
We were luck enough to get Steve and his son to come out to Texas for the reveal of the BrotherBike in early December, 2017.

Prior to tear-down. These are the rather large tires that came on the bike. The bike came to me with what appeared to be a CB450 front end. The triples were kept, but shortened MT250 forks were used.
