      If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.

        That link didn't work but you got me so curious I searched the UK Ebay site for it. Amazing paint job on that tank, for sure.

          Very interesting. Looks like it might be a bit on the loud side, eh!

              I agree Ken and I don't think I'd want to do a hundred miles in that seat! My butt is getting thin in my old age.

                Hey Ken,

                Yeah, that is NICE, but I'm partial to GREEN:
                Here's the link, and hopefully the other photos:












                I like that FAT BOB tank and those Triple Trees!! Also, the paint scheme looks to be from the MOVIE ALIEN, Geiger style!!

                BlueJeepLab, it IS a Soft tail..note the shock!

                    I don't think it is Alien based- but Species?

                      It reminds me of the cover art from Emerson Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery album.

                        Hey Cruising Ram,

                        Well, yes, it does look a bit more like Species, but I was still correct in that H.R.Giger was the artist that helped design it, same as the ALIEN....a few decades earlier! My old age is showing!!
