[QUOTE="Bracker1, post: 21381, member: 922"] The bike is put together well from the looks of the picture. I am right now putting a rare Ferrari race engine into a home made frame with a bondoed up body and a nice glossy paint job. Of course it won't be drivable because I have not a clue about auto/race design. Who needs engineering when I can weld up a nice looking frame. I have just learned to weld so the joints may fall apart but that will be someone eles problem. The plan is to auction the mess to a rube under the guise that it is a valuable Ferrari. That is all these custom piles are. They besmirch the real thing and should not be allowed on the road. I suppose they could be sold be sold as display only. We are fortunate in our club to have members who are blessed with the abilities to build custom motorcycles such as Godet, Mike White, and Sam Margenero(sp) and others. They have had years or building, racing and refining. Their bikes should command high values and should not be confused with the customs built here in the US. The club should buy the bike and put the beloved engine into a spares chassis. Cheers from the North [/QUOTE]
