Fantastic ! You build the coolest stuff. Looking forward to watching this one also.

[Cool Hand]

Wow, that is a serious case of form over function.

I also will be looking forward to watching this build evolve.

I can wait to see this one! Another terrific build coming from your bench, John. That 1:1 bike looks very wild, I wish I could see someone really driving it. It can't be that easy anyway.

And thanks for posting a link to this thread in your other WIP thread. Otherwise I might have seen this one the first time in Under Glass.

Man, it's already cool !

[Jimmy Wilson]

Hang on tight ! This is gonna be a wild one. How do you find time to do all this and act too ? I'm guessing that was an April Fool's Joke.

As with all your builds, I'll be checking daily anticipating your next post.

Jimmy

Johnny boy..... Now this is what I am talking about. I have been waiting for you to start this build. This is going to be another Bad A$$ replica that you will do with your talents Brother!! I can't wait to see it come to life.

[Metalmad]

This will be a insanely wicked crazy dead on build by the master builder.

Can't wait to see this done !

It will be another amazing build.
