Trey, I didn't think the pipes could get better, but they have.

Richard, regarding your trepidation about commenting, Trey put it in a nutshell.....He forgot, simple as.

Sometimes we get that engrossed in detail we miss the obvious. We've all done it and no doubt will continue to do so.

So full marks to you for pointing it out and, as Trey has posted, he's glad you did!

What a sad tale Trey, all those races then to go through someone elses stupidity.

I lost a dear friend recently, he was killed by some idiot at the North West 200 in N. Ireland and he was just leaving the event as a spectator!

Anyway it's great that you managed to complete your build in time for Christmas, well done.

There is going to be one very happy, and I would think equally emotional person when the parcel gets opened Christmas day.

Top marks to you on a truly superb model.

Yes Trey. A fatastic job, anyone would be proud to have it. I think being a biker until recently there are a lot of us who have lost dear freinds some time or another, i know i have, bless his sole. Im sure the person you are giving this to will be very happy to recieve it.

Brilliant job.

Thanks Andy really appreciate it. I do'nt street ride much at all anymore for that very reason

[Guest]

Thats one of the reasons i gave up really. There were about six of us who went out together, the day my mate died my freind and i were running late because i went shooting on the morning. One of the group rang me to see how long it would be before we met up with them. 30 mins was all it was and id wished they had stayed put at the Cafe in Bridgenorth and waited. They decided to go for a quick spin while waiting, That was where it all went wrong, god must have looked over me that day. The leader was ok and away ahead, three bikes smashed a car and three people in the road around a blind bend. I would have been the next one around the corner travelling at speed, no where to go with my other mate following me, i fear that there would have been more than one who would have died that day.
