nobleswood Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 In school I had a best mate who was working weekends & with the money getting his pilots license. The summer when he had to log hundreds of hours I’d tag along. A great experience! Didn’t realize how lucky I was...
Lucky Phil Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Every thing firewall forward is formed aluminum. It only took me 12 years to build. 044 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr So you rushed it then Chuck:) That would take me a lifetime and I'd still mess it up. Ciao 2
luhbo Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 ... He's giving you that old Hawaiian Peace Sign. Why that?
swooshdave Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 ... He's giving you that old Hawaiian Peace Sign. Why that? I think it was because he thought I was going to take a picture with him and instead I said I just wanted a picture of him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

stewgnu Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Mmm, plus v11 rebuilds sometimes claim alarming weight-loss figures (“Yea, we drained the lead out of the sub frame- saved about 47 kilos”). Looks like they retained the oe bremblub wheels and bevel.... How much can the sub frame possible weigh anyway? And seeing as i’m feeling critical: it needs a mudguard.
Chuck Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Different strokes for different folks, of course.. but I've seen very few custom Guzzis that I like better than stock.
Lucky Phil Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Different strokes for different folks, of course.. but I've seen very few custom Guzzis that I like better than stock. I'm with you Chuck, most customised bikes in general prioritise uniqueness and artistic expression over dynamic functionality. Let's face it making it beautiful OR functional is easy, combining both is where the real talent in design and engineering lies. Ciao 1
knumbnutz Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Craig is classic aussie. Nice guy and he's on Facebook a bit with loads of vids and pics. Pure talent a lifetime in the making Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Lucky Phil Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 https://dmolcustoms.com/pages/airforce Really? I mean this is a pointless exercise, totally unuseable. It doesnt even break any new design boundaries or ideas, even the totally useless "arty" stuff has been done before plenty of times over the years. Ciao
docc Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 "Totally unusable?" True, but . . . It's such a pretty thing. And that 1/4" stereo phono plug? That's the "ignition key?" Now, I do love that!
docc Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 And these are the "air filters?" Reminds me of my parents art deco Stewart Warner radio . . . (the air filter in my Sport is more reminiscent of something from a fish pond) . . .
Chuck Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I will give you that the ignition key is kool. Peter would be much more eloquent about what I think of the rest.
