I kicked off my motorcycle addiction just under 2 years ago. I had a Protar Ducati kicking around for years so I figured i would give it a shot. It was a mess engine was awful did not fit well and i got discouraged and put it aside. I saw a Tamiya Ducati on ebay and grabbed. It kicked around for about 3 years. At the time I was working on a Monogram Apollo capsule, it turned out to be a disaster but kept at it. On my other group I mentioned it was giving me fits and a friend suggested I put it aside and do the Ducati. I did and that was that. 4 Ducati’s later I came across the Tamiya 1/12th Bimota.
I was fascinated because there was no front fork and I couldn’t figure out how it would steer so I bought it, this was my 5th motorcycle build, so I was (am) still learning …… here are some pics. I have some videos of the steering but dont know how to up load them :). Here are some pics
And here it is with my Ducati’s and a lone Kawasaki 🙂
