‘Don’t do it.’ — that’s the honest advice Shail Sheth has for aspiring custom-motorcycle builders. Which is a bit strange, considering he himself has been running an outfit called Bombay Custom Works for 13 years and counting. Another quasi aphorism from Shail that easily contradicts the first — ‘I’ve always said yes first, no matter what the job, and then figured out how to do it.’ Which was a surprise the first time I heard it; the end results of whatever rolls out of his workshop made it seem that he always knew what he was doing. He is also the only health conscious hypochondriac I know… but that has nothing to do with motorcycles, so we shall let that be.
