Wow, super.
So much attention to detail: museum quality, and yet it lives.
I'm intrigued by the emblemata: what and who, if possible?
Thank you Royalista. I try to keep it clean. Lives and BREATHS it does , and gets faster every year.
Emblemata ? ..... I like it ! The WHO, would be Scooterbob , myself and my very talented niece Erin. Who pulled together the idea's that we threw at her. The WHAT.... Well, there is a LOT going on. But mostly Celtic..... With Indian and British ideas in there. British racing GREEN, WHITE and ORANGE on the tins and in the Emblems. With a silver frame for Mike Hailwood and his silver colored Ducati's and Honda's
The "9" is obvious. It's a 2009, and I tend to put the year on the seat cowl on the cafe's I have built..... Or an important year. Could also be like a Cat, with nine lives with all the different tuning modifications we have experimented with !
The four leaf clover, inset in the checker board on the front fender is for luck.... 'cause I need it !
The " GS 535 TT " , seen on the pedestrian slicer and again throughout the Elblemata. Is the man who makes the go fast engine parts. GS..... G reg S tewart.. AKA "ScooterBob" . The TT is just a model discription and style if you will ? .... Like a CB500 TT. The "535" is for Eventual displacment.... MAYBE?! Because right now I don't think it needs it. AND I was not going to paint the bike TWICE!
The Tank emblem is a gear.... I just like the look of a gear AND A little inside joke. With the Flag of Ireland and Scotland... our shared Celtic ancestry. The Crown ... British. Again the "TT".
The rear " air scoop " Emblem ... is two machine guns with our initials on the stocks. A cannon or muskets just wouldn't due. A "BULLET " in the center, obvious. An Isle of Man symbol.... always lands on it's feet. A micromiter for ScooterBob, and a Hammer for me. Fitting I think ? And "Built like a Gun" Instead of " Made Like A Gun". Because you MAKE a Cake, and you BUILD a Bike.
Some of it anyway......
