Sorry but I couldn't really get a nice angled picture,but it did look much nicer in the flesh, not that it looks bad in these pics, but they really don't do it justice.

and I'm still rollin' along

I was told that the fella that built this one has built about four so far. He builds them to order only. You give him £16000 and for your money he builds this awesome looking creation from a new V-Max.

V-3

Again, this looked loads better in the flesh.

The Real Bulldog ?

There were lots of older machines scattered about the show too. Here's a really nice Egli Vincent.

Following the same theme, here's a modern interpretation, from the Crampton Co.

Again, the Crampton from the rear.

Crampton Rear

I suppose you all noticed the girder forks and the twin disc set-up. The Crampton had some really nice, and unusual touches. I spent some time trying to figure out how the rear suspension worked. The pic isn't really clear, but the shocks are mounted at the bottom end on a sliding joint that has a rod attached to it that runs forward to the swing arm pivot, allowing the shocks to change angle in relation to suspension travel, or is it NOT to change. I still can't figure it out :)

The tubed swing arm remided me very much of the Buell race type one.

Mr Witt, notice the stand ?

Here's an Italian Cafe Racer. There were a couple of these scattered around the show too !

Italian Copycat

To be honest, I looked at some of the Guzzi's there and the build quality was attrocious. Some of their models were so cheaply constructed, I was gob smacked. I always thought that Guzzi stood for quality. Still, at least the Ghezzi Brian made up for Guzzi's poor stuff !

And not forgetting the Japanese guys too. You're maybe familiar with this custom job, and it looked pretty good too ! And it gets ridden !

Big Jap Bastardio
