HOWTO make a motorcycle out of cigarette lighters - Boing Boing

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

First there was William S. Harley, when Carl Faberge, both created masterpieces of art and design. Now comes this wonderful passion of timeliness bikes which puts it all together, leaving watch collectors like myself speechless. The sheer days it takes to make this, the intricacies of matching the parts to put together the ultimate design. Well done!
