    I didn't realize you had done so many motorcycles, Allan (@kalamazoo). I think they are really fun and are a nice break from the usual airplane model. I have only done one in 1/9 scale, but I have a 1/12 bike coming in the mail so I can add one more to the shelf.

    The different metallic tones on the engine really look good, Allan (@kalamazoo). The engine will look really cool when added to the rest of the bike.

    The Matt black looks really neat, @kalamazoo, and the brake line idea works well. Not sure about getting rid of The Kinks though, I used to really like their music.
