    Each of your builds is better than the last, Cricket (@bikequeen). You are definitely putting your building experience to good use. Looking forward to the next one.

    @brithebuilder @gblair Thanks Brian :). John i’m running out of kits and money 🙂 and each one gets harder and harder to top the pervious one. This kit was a treat!

    @bikequeen - Sometimes it's ok to reset and build something simple.

    Ha ha, Cricket @bikequeen, that sounds like a good lyric, my favourite - “I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now”.

    Looking very good! I really like the (expensive) chain - makes a huge difference! Just one little question - I have been thinking about the support - is that not going to turn the other way? I mean the "cutout" would go free from the wheel when you push the bike forward, and enable a foot on the "handle" to swing the bike back up after a ride?

    Just quriuos as to how it works - apart from my silly question it fully deserves a WELL DONE.

    @airbum it works in both directions Eric. It’s very fragile but turn the rear wheel in any direction and it rolls nicely over both sprockets. I wouldn’t want to do it a lot as I fear it will come apart. 4 hours to build it, 1 hour to repair one broken link :). Hope that masers your question and than k you for the accolades 🙂

    I forgot to add the oil cooler lines and clear shields on the cowlings so here are 2 last shots and it’s complete
