[louisbosco]

@Giles  oh no wait. my bad. i overlooked the Ls as P Plate. didnt realise you hadn't pass…

[Giles]

Decent wheels, and engine rebuilt with Wiseco 88mm pistons,  We reckon will end up at about 510cc…

[Graeme]

That's looking really nice @Giles.

My offer to be a stand-in for any filming is still on the table…

[Aetas]

Nice "Real Wheels" and a great fitting handlebar!

[Bluegrass]

Liking those blacked out rims.  I'm going to do that with my FXDL.  Very nice!

[tmg]

That'll be ready to ride soon, in fact I could save you the hassle of coming to collect by riding it down to you [emoji6]

[Jii]

Holy. Crap.

The guys wanted to deliver it too me on Easter Sunday.  But we will be out of the country on business (more on that any minute), so I may wish to take you up on that, but how the heck do you get back there, from here?

That's an awesome build @Giles ! I really like the colour of it! I am looking for a smaller bike like that for my next project! I had been thinking of a HD sportster, but you opened my eyes to another idea. Thanks

The T. Bonneville is my favourite bike …
but a cool SR for a reasonable price - makes sense and fun.

[Giles]

BOOM…

[4c]

Wow, nice one G. Clean looking bike! The sound must be insane with that pipe.

[Giles]

I don't know yet, it still has to be delivered/picked up.  But the pipe is internally baffled…..

[Bluegrass]

fantastic!!  congrats!!

[Graeme]

That looks very, very nice.

I'm jealous, I need a bike!

Work with a guy who just had his Bonneville restored, have to get some pictures up.

[steelworker]

[Finkster]

Nice bike … very nice!

Nicely done.
