10 year old Zeke, a 5th grader from Texas, built his own Honda CB 200 through the help of his parents and advice from the fine folks at the Do The Ton forum. We had the opportunity to interview him at the 2013 Barber Vintage Festival.
Zeke is way ahead of his years. This kid is going places in the bike business.

Awesome job Zeke. Congratulations on the sweet build and we hope your dreams all come true !

[@jinja53]

Follow your dreams Zeke - you are a gifted young man in many ways.

[@TimBurke]

I got to hang out with Zeek this weekend. That is an amazing kid. He is going places in life. He talks like he is 17 years old, yet polite and a thirst for learning. Glad you guys highlighted him.

So awesome, very cool to see a young boy showing off what he loves. Determination and hard work pays off, Stay in school good sir. See you on Cafe Racer TV in a couple years I'm sure!

[@hobolyf]

Great job kid! One day when I have my own kid I want him/her to follow your footsteps.

[@xMuShAdDx]

Incredible little kid. Lucky to have a great father too.

[@SteveSalstrand]

Way to go! I built a 125cc when I was his age and it was an awesome learning experience. Made me an inventor for sure.

[@thevyris]

Fantastic bike Zeke! Keep it going in your years to come

[@VintageSG]

Yay!, now that's a good Dad/Son build project. It's the best way to learn, and he's learning. Nice one Kiddo.

[@PhelpsCycle]

Way to go Zeke! long live your dreams may you accomplish them all!

[@turbo311]

He certainly seems wise beyond his years. I don't remember being that good with my words much less my hands when I was 10. Wow kid hope you do everything you said you want to.

[@readchesterton]

Thanks for including do the ton in the notes you can watch Zeke's build video on our channel

[@69RIGGER]

Very proud of you young man !!! Outstanding!!! :-)

[@readchesterton]

We couldn't have done this if it wasn't for Do The Ton online forum.

[@Bikergal800]

Great job kidder keep on doing it

[@NeverSquid]

Well done kid! well done!!!!

[@darthvisor9289]

what a lucky boy, i had to make engine sounds on my crappy bicycle when i was in his age

[@monsterMike62]

Its very easy folks. Just move the cursor over the little rectangle that says Like and click. Go Zeke, go!

[@LordLJB]

If you even followed his forum post on dotheton or watched the videos on his channel readchesterton you would see that the kid actually did a lot of the stuff to the bike..

[@MeatSlider]

good for him...

[@TheTrabiman]

you are comming there i am sure,just go for it and follow your dream no matter what annyboddy say just do it.

[@feltonwem]

Now he works at Barber

[@readchesterton]

Technically it was 75 in fourth gear but Zeke doesn't count 1st gear

[@MelindaDeZeeuw]

dualsportguy, what is wrong with you? What kind of a person rags on a little kid? And I suppose you know these people to be able to determine the validity of the build. You got major probs! And that is all I will say to you. Way to go Zeke. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!

[@philwhitelaw3111]

Seven years on, I wonder if he has realised his ambitions? Nah, puberty kicked in and he discovered girls and computer gaming. I hope not.
