Meet Caleb Swiney, the builder behind Lemon Farm Cycles' newest custom motorcycle, "Little Martha". Caleb runs Lemon Farm Cycles with his wife Shelby out of their home garage in Atlanta, Georgia. Little Martha started life as a 1988 Harley-Davidson Sportster, which Caleb reimagined as a tribute to Duane Allman, the late guitarist for the Allman Brothers Band.

Le Cunni, Explique

[@charlietighe5533]

wonderful.

[@iamking7579]

Not only does bro have a garage full of toys and a house full of guitars, he has a wife that supports him and enjoys it all with him.

[@zupra5638]

He is winning in life lottery 😅

[@Joe-lc3sv]

Well he gives her money so if course she's gonna support him lol

[@777dragonborn]

Yep Money can buy a lot of happiness.

[@lassassin2239]

He is living my dream life

[@TerraMagnus]

What a happily ever after!

[@davidsteving6528]

Though this bike is the furthest from anything I would own and ride, the creativity that went into the build is impressive. I am blown away by the talent of the builder and deeply respect the homage.

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Guitars, motorcycles and a Bassett hound. Doesn’t get any better.

[@JW20236]

Interesting story behind the bike, and the guy that built it (with a good woman behind him). Not my typical style of bike but I certainly appreciate the craftsmanship that went into it.

[@Jmacfann]

I love me a chop, also how humble this young man is and how frank he was about not knowing something so he learned it is refreshing. Cant wait to see what he does in the future because I think this is only the start for him.

[@Flexnes1]

I'm not a custom bike guy, but I dig this, especially after hearing about the story behind it. Also, the fact that the guy doesn't look anything like my preconception of custom bike builder just makes it even more appealing! 😁👍

[@ccrider8483]

Yeah, the typical bike builders one normally sees featured usually have one or more of the following traits: covered in tattoos, long hair and/or beard, speaks in stoner lingo, and generally not the kind of person many would want in their neighborhood.

[@wyattbertloff8366]

My uncle Tommy was a roadie for the Allman brothers, and a biker. He was I.O.O.B and used to travel the country as a musician. Little Martha was his favorite song, we played it at his funeral. I play guitar but I don't perform, and I'm working on getting me a Harley

[@andrewpeterson1551]

While I was hoping for a new episode of CTXP, this was a great video to watch. I am more of a refurbisher than a builder, but seeing this guy make the jump to building a true custom bike was a joy to watch.

[@888johnmac]

so good to see new talent coming into the custom scene ... and very cool to hear the inspiration behind the build

[@the88lundberg]

I started listening to Allman Brothers Band after I saw the original post of this video. Thanks.

[@TheIrishAmish]

You have just become an ABB fan. Guaranteed.

[@EricleNormand]

So good to see that young people are building motorcycles, using modern technologies! Old skool meets new Skool(?). This dude also has a good taste in music! I really like the bike and the attitude of the builder👍👍👍

[@atcjoe1600]

Right , maybe there is hope for the future.

[@n0-one0]

They locked us out of classic cars. Even younger guys like this who are well off probably can't afford to mess much with very cool cars. They are the hot rods for our generation.

[@bogader1399]

Four yrs ago I was on my sportster when a car ran a stop sign hitting me and took my left leg off I still wanna start back riding again but your bike is definitely a one of a kind it’s the nicest bike I’ve seen lately good job bro!! keep on keeping on !

[@BonsaiRaygun21]

You got this man, think of how great it'll be to be back on two wheels

[@kramr7012]

Great story of American ingenuity! What a humble presentation from an exceptional craftsman. God bless this couple and all they accomplish! RevZilla- Thanks for recognizing this story and bringing it to your viewers!

[@jeeves6490]

Its funny how the guys that cant help trashing anything HD, dont recognise that they're brothers from another mother of the guys that trash anything thats not HD. Not a chopper guy by any means, but theres a ton of effort and thought in that bike, and he has every right to be proud of his creation. Built not bought. Very cool Caleb, very very cool.

[@T0bimaru]

Absolutely love the small details; the 3D scan, the name, the quotes. Such a showpiece of your passion and love for the music and the machines!

[@erthwermmusic]

While being a bit out-of-pocket compared to the other videos of Revzilla's that I watch, this was lovely! I re-watched this with my father and he loved it as well :)

[@frankmorris2603]

Cool project Love custtoms with this much attention to detail. Old style choppers are individually styled, attention getting and your own.

[@DefZen343]

Beautiful bike!!! 🙌

[@clevelandsteve1785]

Very cool! Appreciate your craftsmanship, and tribute

[@00poopmonster]

More videos like this please. This was one of the best motorcycle videos I've seen in a while.

[@Wileylikethehawk]

Very cool bike - and nice to see some guitars. Your wife has teacher vibes ha ha.

[@GixxerRider1991]

Jessica is a euphoric, surreal piece of music that is unlike any other rock song you'll hear. It's a shame that the ABB's music has been all but forgotten, because they were America's only real answer to the great British bands of the day, and they do not get the credit they deserve. Listening to their greatest hits will always make me think of my dad. Beautiful bike, by the way.

[@robertstimmel1100]

Blue Sky has one of my favorite (dueling) guitar solos. Duane and Dickie really knew how to play

[@exothermal.sprocket]

It's a little ironic too, as the well known BBC Top Gear car show that was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson always played Jessica as the opening theme.

[@theorthobiker]

From one sportster rider to another, bravo. Love the bike. If I had the money or resources to do so, I would so love to hand make or custom make parts for my bike.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Isn’t it cool what passion can bring out of us? 👍🤩

[@user-fk2mp5xh4s]

That kid could be my mentor.❤

[@atcjoe1600]

WOW, motorcycles , the Allman Brothers , and Bassett hounds. Cool build !

[@lazartsaprev2580]

I am not HD fan, but this is great looking bike. You got the idea and ran with it, good job!

[@tbillington]

This guy has got skills and vision. Nice build brother. Jealous of your garage too

[@karlfonner7589]

Excellent work.

[@hhenryf.8]

Awesome build! One of a kind bike!! Good job! Custom on...

[@cubanlock15]

Cool to see chastin’s work highlighted especially since I have some of his work on the tank of my RE Interceptor!

[@dizheller2101]

Truly, a work of art! Respect and admiration!

[@EddieSprouse]

What a great story and a fantastic build!

[@dgratale]

Seeing that seat, I can't help but think bosozoku. Great build and great album too.

[@danam0228]

Wow. Super super cool. Great job putting so much thought and work and creativity into this.

[@patricksandeberg8184]

Congratz man! Love the bike! And great story to it! 🫶🏽

[@tompayton6778]

nice old school ride

[@dayneeastman1316]

This is the real deal. Hes humble, but he came to that show and real custom builders saw the real deal and knew it was over. Thats a fuckin Chopper.

[@daveco1270]

Nicely done. Ive never ridden a bike with those narrow rabbit ear style bars. They seem like they wouldn't be very comfortable, but I have no idea.

[@willdorman6973]

so, So, SO Cool. Fantastic job man. 💪😎

[@John-cc1pc]

Excellent- well done you. What a peach 😊 Safe rides 👍🤜

[@brianmcmahon7992]

Much respect dude sweet scoot

[@syeahtsam]

great build dude ! love the iron head looking!

[@puiazaidarhzauva9928]

This bike is so sick ! I love it

[@Forestbearded]

Great bike! Please make more films like that ❤

[@truckerclock1654]

Beyond cool!

[@efleschner]

Great video!

[@100GTAGUY]

I guess i used to say I wasn't much of a harley guy, but i suppose i just hadn't found a style that resonated with me as much as this era of sportster. They are iconic to me in terms of design when i think of my favorite styles of vintage motorcycles, maybe its just the 70s vibe. That being said i dont think I'd mind a lil sportster project bike.

[@rodneysutton6799]

Wow bro great build 👏

[@Darth_Wafer]

Saying this bike is cool would be an understatement.

[@gardecg1]

Can there be more chopper inspired videos like this? This gave me soooo much motivation to build a chopper out of my 2004 Honda Shadow.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Kudos for not acting like the stereotypical bandit with tats, leathers, cigarettes, and cult attitude. And your wife is modest. I'm about as far away from liking this type of motorcycle and ride, but I can appreciate the work, attention to detail, and sense of self accomplishment!!

[@aaronkaplan3220]

The eat a peach graphic is so dope

[@Ajen1959]

You know this already but,that's a Nice Bike! Nice Work! Cheers!!

[@mccaaabe]

Hell yeah! Sick build, but no breather bolts/filter?

[@FunkMasterJunk]

Such a great video

[@westcoast3595]

Well done. You said a ton.

[@pmdinaz]

Fantastic!

[@jasonbrown4215]

The legend is born

[@StingrayOfficial]

Sick bike!

[@TexasIronBullet]

Brilliant!

[@larryyz_hideaway]

that's a pretty dreamy garage

[@uahoe]

Can we talk about what magic this kid pulled off to own a home with that garage in Atlanta in 2023?

[@JBMotorrad]

Inspiring!

[@landshapes7225]

great build - cool story - God bless, pastor mark - Alabama

[@bonniville4eva]

Cool bike.

[@whittyg2010]

Love it

[@n0-one0]

This dude is living the exact life that I would be living if I wasn't poor.

[@gretchensghost]

The man's a genius.

[@yebogogo64]

Labor of love

[@Neutronax]

I don’t get all the hate, it always seems to be guys who aren’t into choppers or self builds who hate them the most. I don’t get it, some super angry Ricers on their 20.000 Dollar 150 Hp Honda that’s realistically too fast for them and bought with daddy’s money, come in here flaming a guy who just has the passion to work on a motorcycle even if it’s a 4.000$ Shitbox. It‘s like hating someone for cooking and eating Asian Food because you don’t like the taste of it??? In my experience the Chopper community is the nicest and most helpful community ever because we all like to bond over objectively outdated, sketchy and mostly slow bikes, but we like it that way and are happy with some of the sketchiness. At every Motorcycle meet I‘ve ever been to it‘s always the guys on Superbikes, naked bikes or Supermotos absolutely hating each other because they think their bikes are faster or more superior, even thou they didn’t put an ounce of their own work into the bike they defend that corporate made machine like they pushed it out of their wombs. I stopped going because either it’s a Circlejerk or Hateville I get having favorites but come on? Do you really need to hate others with such a passion because they drive a Harley or Indian and you drive a Honda??

[@josephreisinger33]

Well,looky there, a 1974 Kawasaki G3SSD 90. I put 25000 miles on mine. And it was my first street bike. 4 piston/ring sets and two cylinder,s 3 chain and sprockets sets. And I can't remember how many tires. With some port and disk valve work, you could JUST GET 70 mph out of it .......down hill with a tail wind. HAHAHA.

[@borelius]

Cool scoot! What are those rockerboxes?

[@geneoking8698]

impressive

[@NewEdgeGaming2]

i live in macon so this is super dope

[@Douglas-ry5sm]

Ole school

[@martymcskoogster6932]

Great build bro! Can I ask what app/ program/ whatever you used for changing your pictures into a STL or other kind of 3D file for Tinkercad? Have an idea for My build as well but have been stuck trying to g’et a god scan trasferred into somerhing useful.. TIA. Cheers..

[@allenkrock8936]

Who makes those heads

[@Joshuawelds]

And here i thought Revzilla hated choppers haha... Maybe its just because i listen their podcast soo much 😂

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Revzilla might be dominated by a couple of personalities, but I think they can have a broader appeal overall.

[@RyanNightTalks]

sick

[@mermerac9610]

Top ❤

[@wb7942]

How do I reach Lemon Farm Cycles?

[@dictionaryofwords1108]

1:03 is that a Kawasaki F7??? I had a 73 F7, and yeah that amphibious carb housing is such a pain. Made tuning the carb damn near impossible because they don't make the gasket for it anymore and I had to use gasket sealer everytime I accessed the carb. Would love to know if you found a way to mount the carb without that housing plate, I tried but couldn't ever figure it out.

[@BackRoadStoneRevival]

I’d like to be friends with this Rad Dude.

[@astro61362]

I'm not a Harley guy but this was a very interesting video.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Looks nice, but does it have a front brake?

[@gregorystiller975]

Revenge of the nerd! All you jocks can have your football and alcoholism, I’ll stay on his path and keep creating. Great job!

[@rleedillon42]

Bad Ass bike! Eat A Peach brother! Love It!

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

I'm not surprised to see a late model Triumph in the 'Lemon farm'. I'll never own another Triumph.

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

I would have changed the rake on the front forks so it road lower to the ground and would be better balanced with extended forks.

[@samjones-ou3bn]

so z]cool

[@ryan-ee4fd]

Aren’t you going to mention berry oakley?

[@Kris_Stiletto]

Well done, Bro? What's next? :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

[@westondifranco9313]

While it's cool, that bike would be terrifying to ride. Can't imagine riding faster than a 2/10 pace.

[@Neutronax]

Some choppers are surprisingly alrighty to ride, especially those sportsters are fine, surely your not going to the twisties on that thing. But then again that’s not what it‘s intended to do

[@xesence]

Wouldn't ride it on public roads at all without front brakes.

[@McTwistedTwisties]
