December 19, 2016, 8 years ago
A resident of the Orenburg region of Russia, Yevgeny Starostin, gave a unique gift to his idol, the frontman of Metallica, James Hetfield, reports Pravda.ru. The Russian fan gave Hetfield the legendary Soviet K-750 motorcycle.
The musician received the motorbike immediately after a Metallica concert in San Francisco. Hetfield was delighted to receive the bike in perfect condition. The musician is known for his hobby to renovate old vehicles and motorcycles.
For the Russian fan, it was a debut, though, as the man has never renovated vehicles before. The motorcycle was produced more than 50 years ago. It took Yevgeny Starostin nearly a year to complete the restoration of the motorcycle.
