Coming soon! You'll see this on the odd website around the internet once it's finished. Until then here's an exclusive photo of it in the build stage.
A bit odd really.

heh, people who make madness like this seem to be invariably men in their 50's who have big beards. One day I will be such a wooly-man.

Why? Because you can! :msn-wink: I think its a pity myself also... the engine should still be in the tank! :drool: Unless of course the tank was sold off as scrap metal by starving tankers! :scratch:

Well I could, but I wouldn't.

And he certainly can't, christ look at the frame, it's an abomination.

I could make a comparison with a gixxer, but that appears to be much more solidly built...

I wonder what it will be like in the corners. Looking at the tyres...:scratch:

I don't think you could ride it the size of it with the front wheel. Terrible job on the frame have to agree that my sister could weld a better frame up.

Nothing exceeds like excess I spose...

Did anybody else notice that they have the spring on the forks upside down?

No argument there, it's just nice to see it done proper-like.

Now that you mention it... but that's the least of it's problems, how the hell does he expect to cool it.

The point is you don't worry about corners. You just point it in the direction of your location and go there in a straight line. Roads? Psfft!

Why? Because he can.

I hope he doesn't drop it on his leg while he's waiting for a green light....
