What do you think your bikes worth

The original's still at the NMM - popped in there yesterday having an hour or so to kill and being in the neighbourhood.

I have no details of this but stumbled across it (metaphorically) elsewhere.

I don't see the point

Because it's not there?

I must admit I prefer to spend my time working on things that will end up being useful but still admire the skill & effort involved.

I occasionally go to model engineering exhibitions and some of the work there is absolutely amazing.

I occasionally go to model engineering exhibitions and some of the work there is absolutely amazing.

I went to a model show at Lincoln a few years ago and one guy had build a 1/4 scale model of his Suzuki GS750 (I think) completely from scratch. Everything was made by him, built the frame, cast all the engine cases, wheels, made the tyres, the lot. It was as though someone had put the real thing under a shrink ray - absolutely perfect. However it had taken him 12 years ( well 12 winters actually) to do it.

Evening Tim, yes mate I totally hear what ya saying as I used to av the same opinion, however once I'd clocked eyes my mates "wooden norton" close up and personal like and showed me how he'd actually built it I took a different view point to this kind of thing. It's the challenge first off and then the satisfaction once it's finished. I've always enjoyed "messin" with bikes as probably most on this forum av, however since I had my accident I (dare I say it) probably get as much enjoyment out of going in the ol workshop and building bikes as I do riding them. Can't beat gettin the  tig welder out.
Cheers, Michael

I also have nothing but admiration for someone who can dedicate so much effort and time to such a project, as I know I couldn't
