As automotive enthusiasts, of course, you will know Boyd Coddington and Ron Simms as famous figures who have produced many works in the automotive world.
As we all know, Boyd Coddington is an American hot rod designer, owner of the Boyd Coddington Hot Rod Shop which produces a wide range of custom forged billet styles made in the USA.

Meanwhile, Ron Simms is an American custom motorcycle builder, who has been building custom motorbikes for more than 30 years and runs his business, Simms Custom Cycles, in Hayward, California.
Then what if the two of them collaborate to build a motorcycle concept? Yes, these two well-known figures in the automotive world are known to have collaborated to build a concept motorcycle in 1996.

This concept motorcycle was built to compete with the similar design created by Arlen Ness. And also at that time they planned to build more using the same concept but were constrained by high production costs.
In our opinion, at glance, the concept design of the collaboration
result motorcycle of Boyd Coddington and Ron Simms is reminiscent of the
aerodynamic bodywork of the BMW R12 motorcycle made by Louis Lepoix in
1947. It's just our simple visual observation on the Coddington and
Simms motorcycle bodywork.

As we can see, the figure of the collaboration-result motorcycle concept is extraordinary and clearly looks inspired by Boyd Coddington's typical hotrod style. The bodywork on this prototype motorcycle is truly special as it is
completely made of aluminum. If the mass production of motorbikes is
carried out, the bodywork will be made of fiberglass.

The bike is 1 of 1 and was sold to a collector in Denver, Colorado from
whom the current owner purchased the bike in 2004. It has been ridden
mostly around town with an occasional ride ranging in the 130 mile round
trip range. The bike has been featured in several magazines and can be
found in Ron Simms’ order catalog.
