The Hatch effect

His flattrackin' Sporty was awesome... his krusty Triumph in issue 1 was an inspiration... and Steve Hatcher crops up yet again in the back story to Andrew Lindloff's super-sanitary yellow Triumph in the current issue.

Hatch provided the project bike, as well as advice and various other cool bits to help Andrew complete the project. It seems that whatever he touches – from however far away – turns to choppin' gold.

I like humble, talented backyard builders like Hatch: they don't want the spotlight, but the quality and lines of their builds attracts it nevertheless...
