          Really Nice !!!

          ESpecially how you matched the flow of the tanks pattern on the sidecovers.

          Can't wait to see the final assembly.

              Hi dbmb0416,
              Well if your family owned England they would be English and would fly the Cross of Saint George. The flag you have chosen is the Union Flag of the United Kingdom since 1801 ( which includes England ,Scotland, Wales and Ireland)
              The Union Flag consists of the Cross of St George Cross of St Andrew for Scotland and the Cross of Saint Patrick for Ireland. I guess the Welsh did not have enough political clout to get their Red Dragon included.
              In modern usage the term Union Jack is also used though technically it was only correct when flown on the "Jack pole" at the bow of a ship.

              You have managed to "fly" it the correct way up
              The usual penalty for flying the Union flag upside down is a Beer for anyone who notices and claims the fine

                It is also possible they left before England even existed
                It is interesting to note that it is possible that the sixth century Britons arrived in North America. Evidence has been found that leads to the possible presence of sixth century Britons in America. The evidence includes Bat Creek Mound, grave mounds in Bat Creek, Tennessee, which are of ancient British origin and design. This site's excavation includes a stone tablet with an inscription written in Coelbren, an ancient British alphabet from the earliest time of the Khumric (Welsh) peoples.

                The text reads of the ruler Madoc, a Welsh prince who sailed to America about 562 A.D. DNA testing is being done on the remains found at Bat Creek. It is believed that the main tumulus at Bat Creek might be the burial location of Prince Madoc, himself. There are numerous ancient British Coelbren inscriptions in the American Midwest. Skulls found in some US grave mounds are of European-Caucasian origin.

                Prince Madoc was brother to King Arthur II, who lived during the sixth century, firmly confirmed by British manuscripts and genealogies.

                  He surprised me with the Side covers having the Xs Eleven on there. I will let him know all of you like it. He rides a Yamaha R6 and also races a little.
