A little cracker
« on: March 29, 2012, 11:07:01 PM »
Spotted this little jewel on Wednesday. A Honda Benly which had been customised for a young lass by Motografix in Rotherham. www.motografix.com
For the first time in years I hadn't taken my normal camera and the bike cam doesn't really do it justice.  :(
Mark Jarvis the owner of the graphic design firm, started doing restorations and customising as a hobby and has a number of finished jobs for sale. Coincidentally it turned out that he also made the special graphics for my main bike. It's a small world.
Retired and spending my children's inheritance.

Nice apart from the stupid headlight peak thing.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

Hello again Mark,
Welcome to the forum.
I didn't know that the lady with the bike was your missus, or I would have titled the topic 2 Little Crackers, her and the bike. ;D ;D
Cheers.

Hi Mark, good looking little bike, and yup the customer is always right. I've built a few bikes and trikes for customers and been gobsmacked at some of the requests but they're paying so are right.

Gotta say though, I'm with LesterPiglet on the peak though ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
