Congratulations Brian Buttera for getting the cover of Heavy Duty Magazine (Australia) along with a healthy 8-page inside feature. This beautiful BMX inspired custom Panhead was in my “What’s the Skinny?” exhibition at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip and went on to do well at a number of other shows. Brian is a talented builder who has received a lot of well-deserved attention in just three years, so he is surely someone to keep your eyes on. Watch for a feature on this bike in an upcoming Cycle Source Magazine. Copies of Heavy Duty can always be ordered from the “Issues” tab on their heavyduty.com.au website.
