Hello Pierre, taking time off projects for a little bit. I did fit the engine and painted the valve covers. But not much else. Just hit a wall in building. So I have been riding my bike to get through this. I’ll post a pic of the work on the engine. It’s not a lot. Thank you for the interest Pierre, I will start her up again.

Yes sir it is. The reason I bought this bike was my doctor said I needed more cardio. I pulled out my old stingray , rode it and realized that I’m not a kid anymore. So I did a lot of research and came up with this. It’s not the fastest, but still goes 32 mph. It’s not the longest range on the battery. But will still go 40 miles on a charge. I rode it 10 miles and did not even feel it. The way it is designed is what I like. The battery is in the frame, the wiring management is hidden in the frame. The bike design is clean. The quality is fantastic. And I’m a picky sob. No e-bike garbage hanging off the frame. It’s a rear hub drive, which will get me home even if my chain breaks. Fat tires so I do not get stuck in bad road surface. Or those storm drains, the customer service is very good. I ordered it on a Friday and it I arrived on Monday. Assembly was easy. In a world where things are just garbage, this purchase was enjoyable. My wife really likes it and if her back surgery goes well, I’ll buy her one also. Honestly I have not had this much fun in a long time.

Hello Zippy. It was $1499. On sale , was $1999. Since the aventure 2 came out it’s a great buy. A lot of fun for us old guys.

Putting a few miles on my bike. Bought a receiver on Amazon.Bought a bike rack o Amazon also. Modified the rack. Was not going to pay $800 for a bike rack. So I made a front mount so the bike would not go anywhere. Rode and put a few miles on the bike this weekend. Without much effort you can travel a long distance. I’m going through a modeling slump so I’m riding my bike.

Wish I could go. Love Myrtle Beach! But the 2500 mile drive is a little long for me.

Very nice!

Decals, my worst fear in modeling. But you pulled it off ! Fantastic!

Very nice!!!

Beautiful, hitting them out of the park!!!WOW!!!!!

That’s beautiful!!!! Great build!!!!!

Glad to see you have a great family. This helps greatly in recovery, I had this 3 years ago. I would not be here today if it was not done. My recovery took around 6 weeks. It’s incredible that blood work can identify these problems. You will be ok. Do it soon though as time is very important. Please let us know how it went. I feel great so I know you will too. Sincerely Bruce

I have a friend that his dad had over 1500 kits and collected since the early 50’s. Really cool stuff that I have never seen before. He had passed, and she advertised the whole collection and the guy bought the whole collection for $18,000. Plus he was into ho trains and he saw that and gave her $10,000 for the train collection. Sometimes there is a happy ending.

Seriously a vacuform? Lucius, you are really brave! Great job on a great looking model!

Very beautiful! You’re a brave guy doing a ship model. We have, Dan, our ship builder in our IPMS club and his ship models are a masterpieces . Old ship models , especially wood are so beautiful and are at a whole new level. Great job!

Cool build! I saw this car run. It was really fast!

Very nice build ! Sorry about the spell correct.

Dry nice build!!!!

Thank you Jim. I put it down for now as I’m building a mfh Ferrari Lusso. I have been trying to get this kit for years. My friend Mark , who knows people all over the world, found one. So my holy grail kit comes first. As soon as the lusso is finished, back on the Honda.

Put clear bra on parts of the bike I keep hitting when I put my foot thru. It’s been snowing here for some time now. Still really have not put her thru her paces.

I remember they had a very small shop. Look at them now! Beautiful cars. The quality and beauty of these cars are the best. If I had the money, I would have one in my garage

Thank you Ray

Hello 89AKurt, if you model white metal this comes in real handy. I’ve used it on plastic also. Good for holding onto small parts. Was a gift and now I use it all the time.

Here is the tool I used to hold the parts for polish.

Thank you

Hey Bruce, yes close to Lake Tahoe
