My Dream Motorcycle

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a 1994 BMW K75 that I purchased as a project.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

My dad and I have built cars and motorcycles in the past so I thought to myself on the first day in quarantine I should get my own project. The next day I found a perfect candidate for a motorcycle rebuild. I spent 4 months taking apart the bike and giving it my own look.
