Re: The tale of TWO

Re: The tale of TWO
What a sight those two motorcycles! Maury you made two masterpieces! to have only 10% of your ability and skill, that would be great!
Only very few professionals have such a skill in restoration here in Italy, who charge their weight in gold!

My hat off to you, Sir!!
Fabulous job done on both. On the fork emblem, 75-77 did not have it.
