Inside the factory.
Smell like old American motors with Japanese Wabi-Sabi taste.
Mako is shooting Chabott's Honda 50cc Little-Cub for next coming issue of HCC magazine.
Chabott Trimuph bobber.
Shinya now building a cool Ducati 750 for a Hollywood star, Brat Pitt.
Mako and I love this bike so much! Full of Shinya's imagination in this bike.
Yamaha SR. But why Kawasaki? Who cares.
view from upstairs.
I think Shinya look at his bikes from this sight to check how bike look like from the top.
Old Nissan Sunny A-type motor in front of his desk, and panhead sitting on his desk.
mad-max cafe style Suzuki GS.
Shinya doesn't care what bikes he choose to built. no matter.
Chabott style Trumpet cafe racer. I love this tail lamp.
Makonabe shooting Kimura-san for his magazine.
Shinya and frineds.
We had a chance to meet Shinya Kimura at his factory, Chabott Engineering the other day.
Chabotto locates in Azusa, CA. Next to his factory is cool hot rod shop.
Shinya retired from ZERO Engineering while ago, and he moved to this place.
But, if you know ZERO, this factory is just like ZERO.
I kinda felt strange being here because it seems like I was in Okazaki-City where ZERO located.
Place doesn't matter, also bikes doesn't matter for Shinya's imagination.
He is a true artist.
