read an article in motorcyclist about a guy that reproduced a honda racebike from the 70's 100%.
Amazing skill required.

getsidewaysd1 12-08-2006 03:31 PM

I dont understand why he just didnt build a full scale one. But never the less, its still one of the coolest things I've seen before.

Braineack 12-08-2006 03:41 PM

adbradley 12-08-2006 04:26 PM

He couldn't fit it in his living room:gtfo:

The world needs more people like that. This man has done more than most people ever do... realize his dream. He's obviously very well off financially... probably an engineer and a damn good one.

Personally, I hope Ferrari buys it and puts in on display in the front lobby of it's Europeon headquarters... maybe he should contact Barrett Jackson and see what they can do for him... something that awesome should be given the maximum visibility possible.

I'll raise a toast to that man tonight.

Clarkson said at the beginning of the video that he is a telecomm engineer.

UofACATS 12-08-2006 08:50 PM

Yes, that was bad-ass.

"There's a Ferrari in my living room"

Loved when he revved it, and it sounded like a Ferrari... :bowdown:

UofACATS 12-08-2006 08:51 PM

Now he needs to build a mini dyno.. :gay:

A true work of art. I sure hope it ends up being treated like one. I wonder about is home life..........

white90na 12-10-2006 09:30 PM

I am stunned at the skill. Not just the 12 cylinder engine that works, but a SCALE MODEL GEARBOX!!! Fuck me that is awesome.

GTS Miata 12-11-2006 01:29 PM

When he sells it maybe. But if theres no buyers its worthless, and even if he did find a buyer the amount of hours he spent on it would never get paid back.

Things that people build and can't use are worthless.


Worthless: "of no use"
