Bike arrived today It was built in 1967, 2 years after I passed my motorbike test. I just wish I had kept my last bike, 500cc AJS. Just have to get up the nerve to go out on her

Hi Tomick, Reading all this brings back the memory's my first bike which was a new 1964 Honda 250cc CB72 ohc by the time I had finished it looked like Mike Hailwoods race bike.I striped down the engine and fitted 11/1 pistons and a high lift cam with race plugs race exhaust,I wish I had it now, there just not around today. I have just completed a plastic model of the 500cc Honda 4 which looks like the 250cc 6. 1967 T/T which Hailwood / G Agostini raced. Regards tf64 ps:back to Vic now. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

If you lot are into the sweet smell of Castrol R and own a set of ear plugs....then pop along to Goodwood Revival in Sept and visit the paddock...you will not be disapointed, but do take earplugs

Hi Rockers, This is a photo of my latest plastic model of the Honda CB750 1:6 Scale known as The Camel because of it's power and handling.This 750cc 4 was last raced in the Isle of man T.T in 1967 by Mike Hailwood.This model was painted by airbrush. Regards tf64.    Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

known as The Camel because of it's power and handling. That's a fantastic model tf64 and a cracking job with the paintwork too.
