Mr. Holinger who accepted Keanu's offer solely decided to start Arch Motorcycle as a private bike maker that transcends customs and makes all the parts except the engine from scratch.


The main reason for this was the fact that Keanu asked him to make a bike that can run fun with two people riding San Francisco from Los Angeles. "I was able to prototype in four and a half years or five years."


Mr. Holinger, who speaks in short, "Is it only 5 years?" Keanu, who was impressed by the machine that was built over 5 years, gave Mr. Hollinger an opportunity to make his original bike.
