Really nice build. I built one of those as a beater car.

I used to live on L.I., NY. That's where I'm originally from. I left in '92 when I could no longer find a job there any more. I don't miss it one bit any more either. One thing I remember about it. Any kind of activity that's fun isn't allowed there. They're all lawsuit crazy there. I was a member of a club (in the 80's) that raced 1/8 scale nitro RC cars. It was hard to find a parking lot to get permission to use. We did wind up using Nassau Community College. An outdoor activity I do now is mountain biking. I'm sure there's no place on L.I. that would be any good for that either.

Awesome build. At first I thought I was looking at the 1:1 bike until I saw a photo with your hand in it.

I think we're all kicking the Bucket and moving on to other free photo hosting sites. In time I will eventually delete mt PB account. What PB also did was make it so no one can look at PB. You can view the thumbnails but when you click on a photo it gives you that same 3rd party message. I used it to show my picture to a friend from work. When he clicked on a photo that's what happened.

Looks great. Loos as good as a Tamiya kit.

Here's a little more work. I painted the fairings. The paint is just Testors guards red with alum. metallizer. _________________ Too many models to build in a lifetime.

Here's a little more I have done. The engine is in the frame now.

I have found some new free photo hosting sites to use. No more Photobucket for me. I kicked the bucket.

Very nicely done!

Nice pens. Do people still know how to write? They don't teach cursive any more. How do they sign their names?

Nice build. I used to see those a lot when I was in H.S.

Very nice build! You can't go wrong with Tamiya kits.

But does it leak water and oil?

You should see the store too. I was in it once. Plus they set up a vendor's table at the local contests where I live.

WOW! That is a really awesome build!

Looks like you did a really great job reproducing that picture.

Well, this one is a real challenge. I am going to super detail it like I have never done before on any other model. I have the Scale Motorsports CF decals, the Top Studio super-kit and the chain kit (yeah, build this chain one link at a time, about $40 too. I bought an already built chain for my mountain bike for $20). I also have the brass fork kit from Tamiya. I had the super-kit for a good few years, in fact I had it for three years before I bought the bike kit. I had bought it for another bike kit not realizing it wasn't the correct kit number to go with it. Then when I decided to finally build it I had to order the chain kit, I had thought it was part of the super-kit which it wasn't. I got it from Japan in 8 days. The fork kit was discontinued, but I found it on Amazon for $15 from some Japanese company that seems to sell just toys. That took almost 2 weeks. I also added Pro Tech braided oil line with hex AN fittings. So here are mostly engine pictures and a some frame shots.Box art" All the stuff going into the kit: Engine shots: The frame:

Fantastic build!

YES! And sometimes in replying too.

Look really good. When you "restore" it, it can look like this:

Looks really nice, the interior looks real good too.

Nicely built. We don't have theme here in the USA but I do know about them from the model kits. I've seen them on TV too.

Awesome bad-ass build!

Nice build. I built one of those too.
