From CYCLE WORLD MAGAZINE: "Builder Charlie Giordano’s day job is running Tailgunner Exhausts, aker of Gatling-gun rotating exhausts like you see fitted here. But he’s also a man obsessed with motorcycles and design. This shows in the finished product, hich presents a clean overall profile and shape, lus details that kill, ll inspired by England of yesteryear."

From RideApart: "But the sheer lunacy of this 1A Interceptor doesn’t end with its tailpipe that will surely make the cars behind you swerve off the lane. Giordano has borrowed cues from England during that era where this bike belonged once. Sample this: It has a wax-sealed “Boston” liniment bottle attached to the fork leg—filled to the brim with “a sailor’s daily ration of rum” per old Royal Navy Tradition.The battery box is made from wood cigar boxes and embellished with hand-hammered copper strips. It also has a pedestrian slicer on the front number plate. This bike has caf? racer genes written all over it—from the fender devoid wheels to the Manx-style fuel tank. And that gorgeous tail section! All of it was crafted using old techniques with the help of hand tools.When asked about choosing to go all-out mental with this build instead of doing a more composed restoration, iordano said, I felt like a politician: No matter which way I vote, ’m going to displease about half the constituency.”We are the half that is very pleased."

Please note: The 7,530 mileage shown above is original and before rebuild. Mileage post rebuild is approximately 10 for tuning purposes.
