The Akira Bike Project - 08 - Getting started in Seattle

Welcome back Akira Bike Project fans! I move across country to start an interesting new job in Seattle only to be confronted with a shocking turn of events. Follow along the journey designing and building a fully functional high performance recumbent motorcycle inspired by Kaneda's ride in Akira.

Glad I found your yt. I remeber following your project when I was in hs and college. Now I myself am a fabricator and welder, hope to build one myself some day soon.

[@matus1976]

Welcome back and hello fellow fabricator! I'm glad you found the project again.

DUUUUDE. I live in Seattle and ride an electric right now and am gonna be getting a new gas powered bike soon. I'd love to see your Akira bike on the road.

[@matus1976]

Nice! What are you thinking of getting? I recommend starting with something small and working your way up - safest way to go. I started with a Honda XLR250, then went to a 400, then a 650, then a 1000cc. When I finish my bike I'll have a party, local will be welcome! probably be bringing it to that backfire moto show too.

@@matus1976 Oh I've already been riding for years at this point, i rode motorcycles as a kid too. I'm getting aiming for a 2018 to 2020 harley M8 Fat Boy 114. Do to circumstances I actually don't have all that much of an option to go through a bunch of bikes to work up, but I've been riding my emoto around for long enough that transition shouldn't be anything unreasonably risky.

[@landyz25]

[@iwsifyo2576]

[@Nicozmo]

I am from another country, and I have searched so much for this content, I really wish so much that you can finish your project, it is very inspiring, good luck✨

[@matus1976]

Thank you for the good wishes, and I'm glad you found the project and are enjoying the build!

[@KellyStarks]

Hum. You should mention the dates your talking about.

[@matus1976]

Ah, I will in future videos! most of this took place between 2012 - 2014

[@retrops4261]

I agree, though if everyone starts at the first video, I think it's clear this takes place over the last 10-16 years

[@YechezkaelMacavi]

[@matus1976]
