Walked into a gold mine today!
I had a client to visit in Loganholme (QLD) and while in his factory he said "You like bikes don't you? Come and see my mate" - so off we went a few doors down. Here I met Nic Comolly - a highly skilled, bike mad engineer who thinks Hardley Ableson is a swear word.
He had a whole heaps of project bikes lying around including a highly modified Katana running Busa gear, some cafe racers and also he was straightening a late model R1 by the looks of things.
When I asked him who's it was he said it was for a mate who imports bikes direct from japan to go to auctions, so he gets to pick from all the good stuff before it goes to the general joe. Gold!
The workshop was fully kitted out and he was familiar with Ben's builds.
I'm going to give him a proper advert somewhere on the site, but for now, here is some of his blurb:
