Just saw the vid you made, well done sir!  The bike looks good standing still and even better rolling!

Damn Manny, that vids nearly a year old, how did I miss it ???

It was well worth a watch and very well executed, glad I was able to help a little in bringing THE PHOENIX back to life, look after young Spikey and the bike as well ;D ;D

Wow I totally missed the vid too! Nicely done

....But seriously Manny?!?! Around 3:25 or so there is a shot of you sorta leaning on the bike smoking! I would have thought given how she got lit up in the first place the bike would never be within 50 feet of a lit cigarette!!!

Manny, you are my hero and deserve your place on Cafe Racer TV and magazine.
The origional Spikey Bike was a work of art and although it strugled to become bike of the month, it eventually did it on its own merits.
The fire was devastating news but you didn't loose heart and rebuilt it better than ever. You rock man.
Back in November, I was interviewed while racing at Valdosta by Cafe Racer TV but an infringment of the rules by the team who were the main part of the program brought the event into dissrepute and the program was scrapped scupering my few minutes of fame on US television. I felt as gutted as when your bike was burnt to a cinder.
Good luck to you and young Spikey, you guys are a credit to motorcycleing.

Sam. ;)
