With the bike in complete disarray and the Kawasaki Dealer Convention just two days away, Friesen enlisted the help of friends to turn his pile of shiny parts into a stunt-ready machine. "My friends Albert Delgato and Tony Sesto from Tek9 literally spent two days sweating for 14 hours a day putting the bike back together. By the time we finished, there was no time for practice. The first time I rode it was in front of the heads of Kawasaki and all the dealers, but I wasn't sure if it would all work inititally. Sure, the bike looked pimp-and thankfully it performed perfectly too. It felt the same as my other everyday stunt bike, only prettier."
Friesen has upped the custom ante for future professional stunt riders with a bike that sparkles like a T-shirt after a lap dance in the champagne room. With the trend of today's professional stunt riders focusing on appearance as much as the tricks, the newbie stunt rider had better learn to do a flat-land double backflip to make his crunchy piece outshine this chromed-out wheelying chariot of bling.
