No problem, I would just recruit Wizz and pay him loads of money and give him total artistic discretion. He has already supplied impeccable references. We could even build a trike and put pictures of little goats on it.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

D'oh, I voted no before reading the rest of th epost.... I didn't realise I wouldnt have to weld a stright frame, with engine mounts in the riht place, or workout how to put the tranny together.

All that leaves is electrics and dodgy welding

has anyone watched more than one of these?

its a lot more than that...machineing is involved...they never have the right spacers...have you ever assembled a spoke wheel? thats where that usually get held up...its really not as easy as it looks. bill wall however built the baddest bike on that show...maybe one of the baddest ive ever seen...but they had a girl on who was a welder and had all the background to build it and she couldn't get it together....they really dont give you anyhelp...but anways thats my rant...i hate that tool with the beard too...they kicked him off but now hes back i guess.
thats a sweet bike.
