Lilienthal Fri, 01 Dec 2006 06:34:53 +0000 /?p=203#comment-52058 I am a huge fan of Matt hotchs' V-Lux. What a bad-ass! Matt is my creative hero. I build scale custom choppers (approx. 1:12 scale) mostly out of materials that used to be other things from around the house and/or carved out of wood, acrylic etc. Using this method I built a replica of the V-Lux that came out pretty nice. Some of my techniques are more advanced now so I'm planning to build a new one in a larger scale soon. I heard that Matt was offered $1,000,000 for the V-Lux when he won the Biker Build-Off Championship and wouldn't sell because someone would kill themselves on it. Which was cool I thought; So what made him finally sell it at such a reduced rate? I mean, I respect the integrity behind his decision to not sell initially and that sometimes creativity needs no monetary reward,so what happened? Either way, he's still my hero. I place high value on a creative mind who's work screams " Don't tell me what can't be done!" Sincerely, Eric E. Lilienthal I am a huge fan of Matt hotchs’ V-Lux. What a bad-ass!
