A quick note to say thank you to Alan Grayer for making his 1911 Harley available.
I had never made a motor cycle before but I was looking for something different and I've always liked the vintage M/Cs.
After a tentative start and a few helping e-mails from Alan, I found it not too difficult. The wheels looked complicated so I started with one. I reasoned that it would be better to make one first rather than make the bike then not be able to make the wheels. Alan's separate notes for wheel making were a great help.
So Thanks Alan and I feel mine isn't too bad for a beginner. One point if you decide to make it - check the thickness of the card you use when making the engine - I think I underestimated.
Oh - and Alan when do we get an Indian ????
Cheers
Mike
