Motorcyclist USA — September-October 2017

84 | september | october 2017

 in an UnassUminG, brick-clad Plano, Texas, neighbor-

hood, the feverish pounding of a planishing hammer

can be heard above whirring lawn mowers and the soft

jingle of wind chimes hanging above sun-drenched

porches. A blinding fl icker emitting from their modest

two-car garage means that Sofi Tsingos and her father,

George, are hard at work creating a bespoke piece for a

GT-Moto custom motorcycle.

Around the garage are projects in every stage of

construction. On the lift, gathering dust while it awaits

completion, is Sofi ’s personal single-cylinder hardtail

project. Borrowing design elements from the Art Deco

styling that Sofi and George love so much, the bike sits

as customer orders take priority.
