Jimmy Messina received a lung cancer diagnosis in 2019. Soon after, the mechanical engineer and experienced race mechanic quit his day job in order to undergo chemotherapy. However, Messina wasn’t going to let unfortunate circumstances stop him from realizing his dreams of building a one-of-a-kind custom motorcycle.
“After his diagnosis, Jimmy had to leave his job because of the constraints of his chemo treatment. So this project became part of his fight against cancer,” explained Messina’s father Michel. “Our main goal became the development of a prototype with the aim of manufacturing a small series of bikes in the USA, and in a way, live the American Dream.”
