Money and success.
To be honest, these things shouldn’t be the driving factors of businesses and they definitely shouldn’t be the reason why people do things.
Last night, I was just having a conversation with a friend about how money should be a result or a by-product of a business whose owners are both passionate about what they do and very good at what they do.
In my opinion, passion without skill is only a hobby and skill without passion is just a job.
You combine the two and you get magic – such as the folks from Falcon Motorcycles. They combine their award winning skills in manufacturing with their love (and I mean love) for vintage motorcycles.
One of our favorites is “The Black” – a motorcycle built around a Vincent engine.
Look closely at every detail put into this bike. The Black built by Falcon Motorcycles image from http://www.falconmotorcycles.com.
According to the official Falcon Motorcycles website:
Currently under construction, its heart is a 1951 Vincent Black Shadow engine with California racing history. The Black Falcon promises to be an icon of a different sort, combining the incredible charisma of the Vincent powerplant with the graceful lines of a Falcon. The engine will remain relatively intact, but every other part of the motorcycle has been redesigned. Expected completion date: March 2011.

As you can see from the photos, they have put countless hours of time, love, sweat and passion into every inch of this bike. The Los Angeles Times also did a video article on this bike and in it, the owners said the Falcon team put over a year into the build:
It’s very clear that the folks at Falcon do pretty good for themselves. Not because of the success and money, but rather because they are both passionate and skilled at what they do.
