DAN ROGERS: SELF PORTRAIT

YANIV: POWERPLANT

This is Yaniv's Powerplant retail front. He's been building custom motorcycles since early 2000 out of Los Angeles.  He was taught metallurgy and fabrication techniques from Vince Zine early in life then moved on to building custom cars with Jr. Bruns.  After dropping out of high school and a brief stint at LAX Aviation Mechanics school, he started apprenticing at various other hotrod and motorcycle shops.  Eventually opening his own in 2002, this small retail space connected to his workshop opened just a few years later. It's a sick little spot without your traditional storefront that's hidden somewhere in the middle of Melrose Avenue's cluster fuck of sex shops and garbage dump clothing stores. 

Yaniv is known for his skills as a sign painter, 100% hand-made parts fabricator, leather journeyman, romantic, stuntman, and bike builder.

Yaniv drives like an asshole.
