The "Las Vegas" Wedding Bike 2004 J. P. was designed by me (JQ) for my wedding which took place in July 2004. The bike was fabricated and built by Nobby, my partner at Hawg Haven and by Roo from Rooweld in a time of 33hrs, yes 33hrs!


Following the build it was painted by Jon Spurgeon at Aerographics who completed the paint job from start to finish in 6 ½ days.


The concept of building the bike from scratch and having it built and painted in time for my wedding on the 10 th July was somewhat ambitious as we had left it until the 30 th June before we made a start on the bike. A lot of better people would have probably said it couldn't be done in time, but hey, we like a challenge!
