That is gorgeous!!

I love that board track racer style- very generous of them to fit brakes on it though as the real ones never had them and if anyone thinks bikes in the 1920's or so were slow think again.....

....100mph on banking you couldn't walk up with your only protection other than goggles usually being a nice chunky knit jumper, a pair breeches and some sturdy boots.

I would not want to be the one pulling the splinters out of anyone after an off either!!

What do you mean impractical???

Look, there's a pannier just under the seat...:chuckle:

If I squint it doesn't look unlike the rigid Norton framed Harley 45 engined special a freind built thirty years ago.

Hats off to all that unseen engineering and thinking in there and adherance to the theme....just love the use of Copper and Brass.

Would have liked to have seen the rear head reversed or the exhausts in Copper, but I wouldn't dare risk offending the builder with trivial comments...Very nice.

Hmmm, not too my taste at all, though I can appreciate the work that has gone into it. The exhaust wrapped around the clutch looks great, and must keep the clutch nice and warm :)

Very nice but I wouldn't like to try and hang on to it...

Thanks for that link Dirty....A perfect Sunday morning read..:biggrin:

Still think they should have reversed the rear head and had one of those remote float Amals hangin' out under the seat

Looking forward to more of thier projects
