An article from the NY Times News Service profiles Rich Christoph, the 27-year-old industrial designer behind Harley-Davidson's new Nightster bike.
While still a lowly ID student at the University of Wisconsin, Christoph built his own bike for a class project, using the metalworking skills he'd learned while fixing his father's tractors on their farm in Iowa. He then drove the bike to HD headquarters in Milwaukee. "I came riding my portfolio to the interview," says Christoph, who proceeded to nail the interview.
Christoph's design sketches of the Nightster are above. Images of the yet-to-be-released bike are not up on Harley-Davidson's website, but we here at Core are hoping the bike looks something like this:
