    Nice! I hope he does well. I'll certainly be calling in when he's open. Seen the price of SR500 "Goldies" in the UK? If he can do a similar style based on the SR/TT500 motor for a reasonable sum here I reckon there'll be a lot of interest.

    The 1200 Sportster cafe style is nice too. There's a lot of scope if he can keep the price realistic.

    I've long admired his Aus. website and was hoping to get there one day next time we're over.

    What do they actually do there? acquire low milage bikes and build these one-off customs ?

    Some spectacular examples for sure. Such fun for a bunch of folks to take such machines down town for a latte and a brag, and what a brag it would be.

    No me neither but cheaper than taking big block harleys or the like as starting blocks. I do hope the prices are 'sensible' and within reach for normal folk though. I found a kit to snaz up Harleys on trade me the other day, looked great but cost $22,000 just for the kit + donor bike and fitting if required.
    Oh bugger
