    Smile Build progress pics

    As promised some time ago, here are some of the most recent pics of the bike.
    It is not as far along as I would like but circumstances have dictated that I need it on the road from now on, so in about 2 weeks, it will be.
    I am having some custom bars made with integrated risers this week and should be completely legal and on the road immediately after that.
    Pic 1 is where it was months ago, the rest are current.

    There is still a lot I would love to do with this, but for now it is about as done as it gets.
    See you all out there.

    Looking very nice there Mack.

    Most importantly, though, how does it sound?

    Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

    Fair enough...I'm not that keen to be honnest. No disrespect to Mack or his bike, but I really don't see myself riding something like that. Tis a bit fat in the rear end for my taste!

    I would have thought that obvious, from your avatar collection, that you don't do big rear ends'!!

    Very nice work Mack! A lot of hard work, but satisfying to see results happening.

    Sadly no... it won't be ready then.
    But hopefully the next one, will have to wait and see.

    bribes are being considered as acceptable for rides, please submit your bid early.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
