            Reserve not met on the auction. Did your friend strike a deal outside of ebay? At any rate, if he want to sell the exhaust system please let me know.

              Don't know the details of the sale, but I'll certainly pass along to him that you'd be interested in the pipes. I'm thinking he might want to put a header on it.

                I have a nice V&H to offer up in trade if he's interested. Thanks for passing along my interest.

                    Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it very much. I have to admit though, the small booth in this series of pics belongs to my friend Nunzio (Jim) He's the guy who prepared the stencils and helped me spray the graphics on my tank. I have to give credit where credit is due, he's a very talented individual also. BTW, that's a very nice GS you have there.

                      Wow! Just got the latest Moto Retro in the mail yesterday. Your bike is really neat. Excellent work!

                      Now, I need to get mine refinished. Paint is beginning to crackle around the filler hole, and there are small blemishes here and there.

                        There is a Nunzio on the CB1100F.com site that does some beautiful paint work on his Hondas. Same guy?

                          I'm sure it is. He's got absolutely the most beautiful 1979 Honda CB750F I've ever seen. CBR front end, Interceptor wheels, Ohlins shocks, pipe, CR smooth bores, velocity stacks, fantastic paint. Amazing bike. He also paints helmets for F1 drivers fer gosh sakes..so yeah, he's good.

                            Thanks, I'm stoked the bike is in the new issue. It'll be in a future issue, too, when the editor's "replica" of mine is done. I'm also doing a GPz550 Kawasaki for Dexter Ford. That should be in the next issue.

                            BTW, I know someone who could fix your paint..

                                Gorgeous work! Great attention to detail... Very nice. I'm tossing some paint ideas around for the 750 right now.
