I use this product for pasting these prints on the 
vehicles. It is a non permanent solution and 
when the need arises to remove a print, 
you only loosen it with some water.

Motorcycle Build

Something else... If your garage is too small for a serious motorcycle build, you can clear a spot on your desk, GET YOUR DREMEL TOOLKIT, pull out those old wristwatches you tossed in a drawer a couple of years ago and get started today. All of these motorcycles are built from discarded wristwatch parts, they're what you might call a real pocket bike because they'll obviously fit in your pocket without any trouble. I think they're pretty neat.

I have named this one a Triumph Roadster... mounted on a piece of Imbuia and is used for a desk pen holder. Was my first attempt (A weekend project)...




A 2008 KTM 450 EXCR Enduro motorcycle (model)... mainly built from discarded men's wristwatch parts. (My second attempt, 20 hours labour)
