So here it is......Again, every single detail is crafted by hand, totalling just shy of 1000 hours worth of labour and 'thinking time'. Not to mention the many layers of skin removed from my finger tips!
    So what do people think??

  16. A long time ago in a land far away I owned a Laverda Monduic- it was bright orange and it deffo handled like a coffee table! It spat me off more than once and I never could suss out the handling on the loud little bastard - ended up doing a level swap for a shiny blue Honda 400/4
     
  17. I just love the look!
    I have an old SS750 engine at my wall in the garage, Now you gave me a idea!
