Greyson Perry, odd duck, as the British say (he's a Brit). He's a painter, sculpter, quilter and motorcycle designer. He had the Harley built by Battistini's Customs, and they charge about
�100,000. Unique among bike builders, as they operate in England, and had a tattoo parlour in their shop.
http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/9820654.Motorcycle_maker_Battistinis_shuts_shop_to_go_online/?ref=rssPerry�s bike is, as one look will confirm, unlike any other. An extraordinary, custom-made bike, based on a Harley-Davidson Knucklehead and named the �Kenilworth AM1�, it also features a reliquary � a sort of saintly Wendy house � on the back, specifically to carry his 50-year old teddy bear, Alan Measles. The stretched petrol tank, painted in pink and blue, sports the words �Patience� and �Humility� on either side: not qualities usually associated with Harley riders. The bike was the star of the show at last year�s Grayson Perry-curated show at the British Museum, �Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman�, positioned at the top of the imposing staircase in the museum�s atrium.
