I used to have a bike with wooden wheels, a wooden frame and a wooden engine but it wooden go.

Think I might get the saddle fixed

That is a pretty skilled bit of woodworking, certainly way beyond my capabilities and it does indeed look stunning..............but I'm left comparing it with something like the prize winning entry in one of of those Womens Institute "Best Knitted Ironing Board" type competitions - a monument to high endevour but NBG to anyone!

That is a fantastic bit of work. You'd need a fairly big house to put it in, and if you could afford a big house I guess £3K wouldn't be out of the question for an ornament.

The real thing would be nicer still of course

There were wickerwork Harleys in tourist shops in Tunisia. I think they would be difficult to transport home.

Similarly the wooden Manx Norton at the National Motorcycle Museum or rather the real thing.
