Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

Barney, when i first started training in engineering my boss said
"An engineer can do for a penny what any dam fool can do for a £1"
its something that always stuck with me especially with the modern tendency to over engineer everything because people still see complicated and detailed as better. The result is nearly everything needs batteries these days You can have a disposable Cigarette lighter with a gas chamber, inlet valve, adjustable outlet valve, piezo ignitor , steel , brass and plastic components.........or a strike-anywhere match

I have reserved mine
Released Jan 26
This is a 1927 Norton model 18



1:9 from MFH.
I am absolutely hooked on these things., even if i never build it i just want to own it. does that make me a bit strange ?

I just think, even as a picture its a thing of beauty......And i know now that if its not perfect its my fault because there is nothing wrong with these kits. They sort of throw down gauntlets and idiots like me pick them up

Paddy;

That is the most beautiful motorcycle!

And, no, just having that in your stash would be worth every farthing.

The Norton tempts me, but I have a new toy (tool) that I am paying for that is due within a month and then I will be trying to figure out how to get it to do all the repetitive stuff I come up with.

I went to order the personnel and sort of stumbled across the Marblehead. As Yoda might say, "resist, I could not". One of my uncles was on the Marblehead, though after her epic escape from the Java Sea.
