    Andy,
    Would you consider selling some "kit" parts and a full set of build instructions? I'd love to build this bike!

    What is the suspension; Magicals, Rock?
    Bike looks fantastic! Hope you're going to put a skid plate on it.

    VERY cool bike.

    post a picture of the other side. Expansion chamber must be crazy small. Has it been ridden? Power?

    Got her running today!!! Just chucked some fuel in the plug hole to see if the ignition is working ok, and away she went! (Don't want any fuel in the tank before the Telford show).

    Need to make the sump guard and maybe some side panels next week....

    The bike looks even better from the other side - but you will have to wait until after the show, as I want some press exposure and I won't get that if I release too many pics!

    I have enough parts to build 2 more!

    The bike looks sweet! I was wondering if you know how the tubular exhaust & slim silencer will effect the power?

    Yes, It's beautiful!! I love it!! How does it preform? Do you like the way it handles and reacts in sections?

    This one is going in the MX World Museum in Sweden - so although it runs, it won't get dirty! I am building 2 more, one of which will go to Sweden with me in August to ride at the Arsracet event...

    Andy, really nice!

    there are a couple of 125 trial bike's pikkies Visiteur1948 has posted, page 163.
    I didn't recognize them, maybe you haven't seen them?.
    That red 1960 one looks a little like a scooter tho, the low center probably has it's limitations I suppose :thinking:

    Interesting also as well were the Swedish army 250 auto AND the US Arny ones too.

    Anyway...good looking bikes, good show.
