I recognise that one. You got it from Gloucester originally right? That's why I remember it so well. I used to live in Cheltenham. Nice bike mate, German madness all the way. Good to have you aboard.

all the time mate, i've had the bike 5 years now if i remember right, did a john O'groats to Lands End and back run on it before changing it radically, it was just gonna be a good service after the 1784 mile run but kinda went haywire lol

don't know how many hours went into it as it took 11 months to build, only having a couple of hours of a weekend (due to the missus working weekends and having 4 kids to look after) and the odd hour in the evenings through the week, the winter times put a go slow on it as i have no shed/workshop or light in the garden, the airbrushing took longer than expected but as it was done for free i wasn't complaining but it also slowed up the bike being finished, but at the end of the day it was all worth the wait.
