[QUOTE="davidd, post: 90624, member: 1177"] Thank you Greg. I did paint and build the bike. But, Anne and Dan Chase added the bags and did a lot of detail work. Interestingly, I bought the engine from Jim Baltusnik of the Vincent.com. It was engine only as he sold the matching numbers frame on a twin. I know it was a good move for the money, but I am always sorry to see a Comet broken to make a non matching numbers twin. The twin ended up in an estate and went to an avid biker. I had given Anne the information and she hunted him down and talked him into swapping frames! Kudos to Anne for persistence! As far as I know there were only 17 red Comets built. She has won a lot of awards with that bike and she put a lot more effort into the bike than shows. David [/QUOTE]
