Let’s face it. The world is much different than it used to be. Working on motorcycles and being mechanically intelligent isn’t something that most kids take an interest in these days, so coming across this Ironhead build from Tim Grabiak helps restore a little faith. Tim’s father, Jay, has been running Jay’s Paint and Performance in Greensburg, Pennsylvania for over twenty-six years.

The BMW bikes we’ve featured throughout the years have had a variety of styles ranging from classic restorations to stripped-down customs. The inspiration for each has also been interesting. John Price, who uses his shop name, SG Moto, pulled from an interest in Moto GP to style his 1986 K75S featured here. The popular BMW K models have earned a reputation as sporty and reliable bikes, serving as a great cafe racer platform for cruising around Pittsburgh. We met up with John in the busy SouthSide Works to learn more about his vision for the bike.
