David Zvarich has a YouTube channel called Z’s Garage where he modifies bikes, gives tips and educates his audience on his builds. With a background in law enforcement, David reflects on the challenges he faced on the job and how tough it is to not bring that home.

He is currently building a 1975 Honda CB750F cafe racer for a series on his show called “The Peoples Build” where his audience decides what style of modifications he adds to the bike. I recommend checking out his channel and engaging with him in the comments.

His positivity and energy is infectious and I appreciate him for welcoming me and my dog (Rex) into his home.
