That's lovely. Talk about silk purse from a sow's ear.

Love it! So clean, and simple looking at first glance. Then you look harder and see the clever engineering and appreciate the time and effort that's gone into it. Fabulous.

The K75 is gorgeous. As Mike has said the clever touches abound, even the seat looks like a factory made item...superb.

tell me more about the C7 racer BikesnBones - its a bike I've considered now used ones are down to £4k - what headaches did you have with it?

The only two stroke I can remember owning was the once ubiquitous BSA bantam.

Oh, and a gilera moped.

How about this though?....

Yeah, there's been a video from that guy on the bike shed site. Very funny. Laughed me head orf. (Luckily I photoshopped it back on).

From http://rocket-garage.blogspot.in/ (I think....slightly confusing web links)

That, thanks to the power of the computer, is a modern day doodle.

When I were a young lad (ee, teks me back. Ovis were right grand bread) the outer covers of my school books would be peppered with doodles like that. The difference being that a) I was only thirteen and b) I could actually draw very well. Using only a pencil.

There are some lovely looking bikes on that link though.
