PAUL YAFFE
Some say Paul Yaffe is a true artist. Original. Inspired. His creations have been compared to sculptures that have function. Is he an inventor, an engineer, a visionary? At different times, perhaps he is each of these. When asked how he continues to better himself with each creation, Paul simply smiles
"I see motorcycles in everything..."
that intoxicating , ear to ear grin, like the cat who just ate the canary, and replies, "I see motorcycles in everything. I have a natural gift for looking at things, and seeing how they can work better. Sometimes my engineering challenges even work themselves out in my dreams. All that is enhanced by my incredibly talented crew." Paul is often asked to describe his style. He replies, "I eat, drink, and sleep motorcycles. Every night that I have a dream or am inspired by an image, my style changes. I am constantly evolving. If the day ever comes when my bikes can be categorized because they all look the same, I am sure that is the same day I will have to leave this business for a new challenge." Paul's custom creations are a natural extension of him. Before any project even begins, he mentally starts with an aerial view of all the possible components to be considered. Blessed with an all-knowing vision of the final outcome, he sees the way the collection of elements need to blend and work together. His skillful technique involves choosing the best combination of elements, then making them yield the ultimate in both function and beauty.
