Sorry BWJ, no build thread. The Purple Haze has been in progress for over ten years. I've owned the bike since the early 80's.
I am in Kirkland.

I'll give a second to Terry's machine. That blue is quite nice.


Woohoo! Thanks everyone, I accept! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Given that Shortround started with a 750, and keeps going smaller, guess he'll see your 1060, with a 250. ;) ;D
