tyrone Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 John I just saw this one for the first time and all I can say is you're a he** of a modeler....
stump Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 **Still looking for those bowing, we're not worthy smilies**.................................. John, having just stumbled in here myself, (heart palpitations, shortness of breath....I was out cold for several minutes....) I can now say, Tremendous work !! You Sir, have an eye, an eye for incredible builds and detail, that and an amazing gift (talent) are a combo very few possess mate.
cazxr2 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Wow that's all I can say........ You have so much talent u must have a house full of amazing builds.
John Teresi Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 Hello......I hooked-up the nitrous bottle , spark plug`s, front and rear brake cables, clutch cable, throttle linkage......I made a engine support bracket......handle bars are on with toggle switches and buttons.......I will make a chain guard and riser caps and attach the throttle cable tonight.......thank`s for looking.
Agent G Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Yet again here's a guy who posts photos of the real thing attempting to pass it off as one of his builds. The shame........... John that is freakin' sweet! I can hear that monster running. G
Harry P. Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 This might be completely unnecessary, seeing as how it's been said about a bazillion times before... But, MAN! That is outstanding! Your craftsmanship and eye for detail is only outmatched by the speed with which you build. I have to assume you've found some way of skipping sleep altogether? And a "technical" question for you: Do you use any kind of magnification while you build? Or do you haver some sort of bionic super vision? Because looking at your photos, there's no way I could do what you do without a magnifier.
hemi Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I am speechless,what you have done is amazing it looks so real.
Mooneyzs Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 John....All I can is WOW!! This build looks amazing.... Charlie's (aka Pro Tech) Braid is the best in the business. I can't wait to get some of it hooked up on my Funny Car build but I am a little away from it. anyway back your build. The detail is just amazing my friend. I look forward to the paint that you are going to squirt on the body. I know it will be an awesome job. I still can't believe how quick you can build. I also wanted to ask what you use for your blower belts? they look great.

Tony T Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Looks good, John! The rider would get a very hot right foot!!
John Teresi Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Looks good, John! The rider would get a very hot right foot!! I know.......the bike is called "Hot Foot".
MC Eiht Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 thats one sweet build!! my only criticism would be the brake rotors and the chain, I think some photo etch parts would have set it over the top.
Curtis v. Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 this is one of the first motorcycles ive looked at and all i can say is wow!
