Another work of art, John. Like I've said countless times before, your work belongs in museums.

Can't wait to see what you got cooking up next.

Luvin' yer stuff as per normal John. Keep the killer builds comin'.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving during your break.

BTW, if you haven't seen it, Rom will be returning when he gets his computer back up and running.

Excellent as usual. I haven't done a bike yet, maybe one of these days I will try one because you sure make it look easy and fun to do. I love the paint job, you sure nailed it. Very impressive.

John, yet again you present another spectacular build.

Don't take this wrong, it's just my personal observation, I don't like the angle of the bottom of the bags in relation to the rest of the body work.

There, I said it, stone me folks.

Dude.....seriously?? I can't believe your quality of work. I'm in complete awe everytime you put something together. I wish we could curse on here because that's how *@^!@ bad ass that build is!!

Breathtaking! ...particularly the paint. For those of us who followed your w.i.p. I think the bodywork construction and finish and the creation and details of the seat had to rate as worthy of special mention (as well, no doubt, as the frame construction...). For those who missed it, go there now!!! http://www.modelcars...showtopic=49459 Regardless, the result is stunning, and, until the paint went on, even a little unexpected. As I said, simply Breathtaking!

Another Masterpiece from your bench, John! Great work with it, looks amazing even if I'm not a fan of this style Choppers in 1:1 scale. This looks very cool anyway, and that scratchbuilt "body" is something I can't understand, how someone can build something that nice!? Great job with the detailing again, and that seat looks very good too. Incredible build as always, this might be the best bike, I've seen. It might be the best just because I don't remember, have you built more motorbikes?

John, the Honda choppers hold a special place in my heart... My first hardtail chopper was a '77 CB 750 on a Paughco frame with a 10" over springer. It was a fun ride and looking at this beautiful custom brought back many memories of that bike... Thanks bro, great job on this one too...
