He would be David, and with a tireless mind and meticulous hands, he would slay the Goliaths of the motorcycle industry. Today. his body rests under the green grass of New Zealand, but his courageous spirit is immortal. It lives on in everyone who’s looked at the creations of others and said, I can do better. This is the story of a motorcycle, a house, and ornamental glass. Mostly though, it’s the story of the hands that crafted them, about the life and philosophy of a soft spoken genius named John Britten.
