Sightings

There have been reports of sightings of a weird green creature ripping around at night on the streets of Rome. It is said that a crazed blond rider was spotted on this thing, followed by a fruity thunderous exhaust note and a real presence of torque.

By leaps and bounds...

The Firebird Scrambler takes shape and is very nearly ready to spin those gorgeous wheels (the front one is being built at the moment).

And how about those tires?! Not the usual K81s, or modern Avon or even the predictable TKC 80... these are Heidenau K67, and they really suit the look of this motorcycle. Good choice Witold.

What you can't see is the wiring: complete, and nowhere will you find a neater, more reliable job than what this guy can do with electrics. If the subject is no longer black magic to me, it is in part thanks to Witold, who knows his stuff and know how to explain it so you don't burn a coil or set yourself on fire.

A slim, nimble bike, a nice tall handlebar, high exhausts and a killer paintjob: this one is truly going to be turning heads.
