Forget the bike, I just wish I had the free time it took to build it!
98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road. The other 2% made it home.

I know Paul (thanks to both have worked some years in the mountain bikes field) and his motorcycles are awesome, true masterpieces! :D :D

His think about Vincent is worst as mine, but we had lot of e-mails two years ago , speaking about "reverse engineerinr" and our works, I look at him as a "genius" to take as example of how to do.

Great job , guy !

That is a very good description of what you see in picture #1 above.

There are a few people on this Norton forum of that caliber. Sadly, I admit that I am not one of them.
