Nice work Mike.

Here's the specs from the email:

"this is my latest creation the Mantis , 98% finished needs abit of wiring done but currently on hold till i return to Aus which could be a while, Built on a 86 , GPZ 1000RX the bodywork, handlebars , back brake lever has been rebuilt in stainless and steel with a few handbuilt plastic parts , the lights and indicators were press moulded from perspex and the seat moulded in plasticine and cast in two types of rubber, all work was done by myself over the last year or two"

Very different mate

you didnt own that radical black ZZR that i kept seeing in newtown did you?

[Gix11]

I reckon he did. I got sent another photo of a black ZZR or ZX10, I left it at work though. Also read his profile - Looks like Mike is a prop builder as well. Explains the influence I guess?

Sounds like him. He used to live near me when i was in newtown, and he told me he made movie props.
