A couple of months after meeting Auman in Daytona a check arrived from Germany and as the project progressed Dodge fell more and more in love with his own project, maybe his best ever custom motorcycle and for sure the one being the best representation of where he stands today as a custom builder. Auman had received regular email updates during “Pan American”’s building process, but Dodge kept most of the surprises for the unveiling that just happened as I arrived. Builder and client, now brothers forever…In a few words “Pan American” is a fully handmade bike featuring a 1953 Panhead engine, a 4-speed Baker tranny, 1971 Maico legs, Bare Knuckle gears, lots of english wheel aluminum forming, too long to list one-off fabricated parts and a simple and sophisticated paint job inspired by the iconic Pan Am airline logo and colors. -Cyril Huze
