Saw this and though it was pretty nicely done:

Derelict frames and engines?

Future Falcon Motorcycles will include the following British marques: Norton, Velocette, Ariel, BSA, Matchless, Royal Enfield, Brough Superior and Vincent.

How many derelict Vincent, Ariels or Matchless bikes you seen lately? Regardless I do like their work, very sharp.

WOW! That thing is beautiful! Thanks! Sure does make my bike look like a booger.

kingwj, haha yeah sounds like a whole lot of hot air. Even with the one motorcycle that is there I had to question whether what I was looking at is phoshopped or real...

That's the kind o' thing Brando and Marvin and them other assholes SHOULD have been riding in "The Wild One." My older brother, David, was a hot-shoe of that era. I remember his bike still, from when I was a little boy, like three or four years old. David would have killed somebody to get his hands on that Falcon.

hmm I'm digging the levers too. Those are common on racing bicycles but I've never seen them on a motorcycle before. Seems like having the end of the lever at the strong side of your hand under your index finger would make it easier to pull but who knows it might just freak my brain out.

Yeah, I love those levers (along with everything else about the bike) but I was going to do that, just the wires would be all messed up. I saw it once on a WWII motorcycle.

The levers are nothing new -- but they are extremely well done in this case.
