SUMMARY
A one-off Italian custom flat tracker which took over 300 hours to complete.
DESCRIPTION
Background:
The bike was built from an Indian Scout Sixty and pays tribute to one of Indian’s earliest heroes, Albert ‘Shrimp’ Burns.
The guys behind Anvil Motociclette, San Marco and Phonz painstakingly built this flat tracker over a six month period, putting 300 hours of work into the build with a team that included a frame builder, engineer, mechanic, assembler, upholsterer and body shop mechanic.
It was unveiled during the 2018 Artride exhibition at the Wheels & Waves festival. 'Shrimp' re-wrote the rule book on a custom modern Indian.
‘Shrimp’ is a machine with a blend of modern day parts from leading brands combined with handmade and handcrafted frames, panels and components. Anvil says they chose Öhlins, Pakelo, Zard, and Newfren as partners for the project, since 'they are reliable and they have great experience'.
The stages of the build were research and development of the main theme, research of the bike storytelling, research of the rider to match with the bike, project planning, technical research about engineering and building, 3D design, and finally the building of the bike.
San Marco and Phonz are particularly proud of the fuel tank, the race plates, and the fenders that have all been handmade in steel. 'It’s been an amazing experience for us; we had it clear in our minds about our project from the beginning and we followed it', they say. 'We’ve been inspired by Albert ‘Shrimp’ Burns, so his story made us strong and focused on the final outcome. This is more than a bike for us; it is part of our lives as customisers and as a creative studio'.
Many of Anvil’s previous projects have been inspired by historic motorcycling characters, and San Marco says: 'What we loved about Shrimp’s story was that he was very young but had great determination. His personality and perseverance in his short but thrilling life are inspiring'.
Phonz adds 'One of our greatest passions is to read about motorcycle history. During our research, we found out about Shrimp’s story and we were suddenly fascinated by him. Not many people know about Shrimp’s story, but we think all passionate bikers should know about him'.
Anvil took delivery of the Scout Sixty in February and set about stripping the 1,133cc V-twin out of the frame and building up something completely new, paying tribute to flat trackers of the past.
The Bike:
Supplied running and riding, having been used very sparingly throughout its life. The time has come for 'Shrimp' to find a new custodian. Whether its future lies as an art piece, a flat tracker, or a street bike, that remains to be seen.
