Hey Skipton,

I can't believe how much you got done while I was on my ride :lol:
The color scheme is incredible!
Glad you trusted you instincts :wink:
The yellow bars are so cool! 8)
The yellow fenders with white tires are fantastic
And you still have the tank yet.. :shock:

First Rate Build!!!!

Well Done

Right now, without the tank and lights, it looks like an early 1900's concept design, for SPEED!..VERY COOL build!
