Randakk Gallery - Notable Customer BikesTHIS IS A VERY LARGE WEBPAGE. IT LOADS SLOWLY SO PLEASE BE PATIENT! Below are some of my favorite bikes. All the bikes below are owned by me or customers of Randakk's Cycle Shakk. In some cases, they are Randakk restorations. Others are owner-restorations. My current show bike "Marilyn" is a Pete Boody restoration. Like to see your bike immortalized here? I'm fairly picky about the bikes I include. It's hard to verify, but I'm told that bikes that appear in this Gallery command a significant premium when they hit the market. For details on the method I use to make my selections, click here.

Joerg Maurischat's '75 GL 1000 - Braak, Germany Show bike is "Bertha" - my final, ground-up restoration This special bike took second place overall in the Japanese class for 1973-1975 bikes at the 2004 Vintage Motorcycle Days Bike Show at Mid-Ohio (lost out to a '73 Kawasaki with 100 miles!). Many consider this the top vintage bike show in the country. In 2005, the owner was invited to show this bike at the prestigious Eyes on Design car show in Detroit. This is a premier auto design concours with multi-million dollar cars and the auto industry's top design awards ceremony. The owner was referred to Eyes on Design by the folks at AMA (Bertha was owned by David Hokanson at this show). Note posted August 1, 2008: This bike just won the Second Place Trophy in the Japanese Division at the 2008 AMA Mid-Ohio Vintage Days Bike Show (again!) The winner was a 1975 Honda CB400F "trailer queen" (owned by David McGuire at this show).
