Few people see motorcycles the way Alex Earle does. A graduate of ArtCenter College of Design, an accomplished automotive designer, and former instructor to the next generation of transportation designers, Alex has spent his career shaping some of the world’s most recognizable vehicles. But when the workday ends, he turns to motorcycles, not as a hobby, but as his purest creative outlet. For Alex, every motorcycle begins with a story. Each build is a character with its own purpose, personality, and destination. The bike isn’t the final product. It’s the vehicle for an adventure he’s already imagined. Then he goes out and lives it, whether that’s racing in Baja, riding through Alaska, or disappearing down the next dirt road. In this episode of Shed Talk, we explore the intersection of design, creativity, adventure, and craftsmanship. We reminisce about our shared Ducati roots, swap a few behind-the-scenes stories from the automotive world, discuss teaching at ArtCenter, and unpack what it means to create without compromise. If you’ve ever wondered where great ideas come from, or why some people seem compelled to chase them all the way to the horizon, this conversation is for you.

We also dive into one of Suicide Machine Company’s latest projects: a Harley-Davidson Pan America ST transformed into a race-inspired streetfighter.

A conversation about craftsmanship, family, pushing limits, and Southern California motorcycle culture. Filmed live at Bike Shed Los Angeles.

For the first Shed Talk from Bike Shed Los Angeles, we welcome custom motorcycle builder Max Hazan. Known for creating some of the most imaginative and beautifully executed motorcycles in the world, Max joins us to discuss the story behind his latest creation: a custom motorcycle powered by a Ferrari V8 engine. Together, we explore the inspiration behind the build, the challenges of bringing such an ambitious idea to life, and the mindset required to pursue projects that make absolutely no practical sense and all the sense in the world. A conversation about craftsmanship, obsession, creativity, and the kinds of machines that remind us why we fell in love with motorcycles in the first place. Recorded live at Bike Shed Los Angeles.
