ule Book Winner of Motonation, the AMD Affiliate event at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2017, Omar Jumiran (Eastern Bobber, Kajang Selangor, Malaysia) has announced himself on the world stage with a BANG. This is ‘Bone X’, a 1961 AJS long stroke 350 cc single engined 4-speed, but not as we know it. In fact, while pretty much everything is handcrafted, pretty much nothing about this “statement of symmetry” is either “as we know it” or as you’d expect it. Living comfortably at the mid-point where the surreal meets the avant-garde, and where creativity and craftsmanship take us into that Parallel Universe that is quintessentially ‘AMD’, ‘Bone X’ is design and engineering at its most experimental, most extreme, most exquisite. It was an honor to host Omar’s custom framed, logic defying, 21 inch wheeled leap of the imagination - and to let the world see that there really are no limits to “the art of the possible”, and certainly no borders where originality and excellence are concerned. Oh, and as Omar himself says it may be both and neither futuristic or classic, functional and radical, but when cruising at 100 mph it’s not about the metal, it’s about the feeling, not about the speed but about the emotion.
