Hey nomiss/simon go …
Hey nomiss/simon go to NZ On Screen and do a search for Britten – Backyard Visionary. It is a documentary that screened in NZ in the early 90′s that followed the building of the second bike he took to Daytona. The documentary is in 5 parts and is 45 minutes long and is well worth a look at. For some reason, I can’t post the URL here, but take a look and see if you would care to change your opinion.

No Simon, he came up with the concept, designed it and built it with the help of a several good mates. Funnily enough, the only parts that crapped out on the bike weren’t hand made by him, they were off the shelf stuff.

You would be wrong, dipshit. He did it all himself with the help of friends and neighbours, for nothing. Almost everything on the bike was custom built, and the parts that weren’t were the ones that failed and stopped him from kicking everyones the first time. Do your research before bagging a legend. Dick.

Harley needs to make a cool race sport bike. They did that at at the start. Now they make ancient grandpa machines. I love my sporty, but there is room for a couple of harley sport bikes, truly revolutionary, not the lame Vrod.

I understand your point fully. I wanted to add that the writer/producers of a show like this tend to use generalizations for the sake of the casual viewer. Of course he had help, but they are implying that it wasn’t produced by an army of designers at a factory.. Should be rated # 1.
