New Binky. Goddamn, after working on a project for close to seven years, how many of us would take time to fabricate multiple brackets to hold the metal loom for the wiring? I'd be losing my mind just wanting to take the thing for a drive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo0oqVtCJt8

Right, I get the satisfaction of a job well done, but they've been stellar on all the other aspects of the project, and if it were me I'd be getting real impatient about my project. It's yet another facet of this project in which I can't approach what they've done.

All rad. The thing that stuck out though is the bike and not because it's a bike. The saddle design on it is ancient, I was riding one of those in the 90s. Quite how he still has one is beyond me!

Love an old narrow body 911. And the bike seat is probably one they found comfortable on the first bike they rode and carried it forward every time they upgraded

I'm just jealous because it was indeed super comfortable, just not up to Yorkshire grit and mud. To be fair though it took a good 3 years of abuse before it looked ratty.

I had those bottle cages, or very similar at least. They look good but are absolute pants to use, scrapped them after a few weeks.

The Bulldog legit looked like a kit car. It was almost cool but just felt slightly off. The headlight setup is pure future though.

I tried looking up the flare o flame also to see if it was real. Couldn't find anything, but theres this. https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Licks-Exhaust-Flamethrower-Automobiles/dp/B007QVJAVG First time I'm learning of it but clearly "spark plug in exhaust" is an idea as old as time. Cool.

The "flare-o-flame" is functionally equivalent to one of these:  It's one of those things in the JC Whitney catalog that seems super cool in your head when you order it, then turns out to be super lame when you actually have it.
