Valentinik Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Have you lost interest in your car now? Geoffrey, no not at all. I'm just finding the bike build very interesting at the moment so it has got my attention for now. The Westfield is priority though.

Thanks Chris, it's nice to know people take an interest in the build and it inspired you if only the slightest amount. I'd love to see a picture if you can find one.

Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Looking good. It just needs that lass from the Honda advert on it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 With its wheels on its beginning to look reminiscent of Ogri's bike, Armageddon (although IIRC that was technically a Norvin). keep the build photos coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentinik Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks I'm just deciding which colour to go with on the seat. I had planned on a tan colour but I'm not sure if it's too many differing colours and wondering if black may be better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
