This thread is a bit old now, so the damage (if any) is/ was done.

Why not stop by the new members section and say hello/ introduce yourself (might be good for brand image )?

From The hard back book, “Today’s Top Custom Bike Builders“One of over a 100 articles written about the Ace Café Racer . . .

“ ……Bringing back the café racer with a proper version sporting a big engine, great frame, and minimum of everything else. Using an S&S SB100 – an engine capable of delivering more than enough horse power toget a bike well past the ton. Gale went on to accommodate the engine. Drawing inspiration from the famed Norton Featherbed frame. Gale fabricated the Super Wideline Featherbed frame for the project. He mated an Ohlin’s fork assembly to the 29 degree neck, and connected a pair of Ohlins shocks to the tubular swingarm. As could be expected the bodywork on Little Miss Dynamite is minimal.Gale worked with the Tank Shop to create the shimmering aluminium tank, held down in the traditional way with a metal strap.

Cool finishing touches, like a sporty open primary assembly,massive tach in the rider’s face, and a reverse mount S&S air intake,assure onlookers of the real intention of this bike: to take the rider back to a time when things were simple and breaking100 miles per hour was all it took to make the world’s problems go away.”

This bike was Runner Up World Championin the 2008, Sturgis, USA.
