it all comes into perspective when you see the one side of a chain link sitting atop his finger... how the hell do you mask things for paint when they are as thin as a toothpick!? 

i think he traded his soal for that kind of craftsmanship.

[DammitDan]

I barely have patience to get bikes running, let alone put that kind of craftsmanship into anything!

[fuzzybutt]

i build a model every few weeks, a local hobby shop went out of business a few years ago and i bought around 100 car and truck models. i spend 15-20 hours doing each one, with anal retentive detail on each one. several car dealers in town have models i've done, i've donated finished models to a local fundraiser for hospice for sale at events also. it may be time for me to build a bikemodel now. wish the cr-750 kits werent 179 dollars now.

i build a couple of model airplanes,the once with a small nitro engine on it...
they take around 80 hours to build.....
but i couldnt build those bikes like he did,thats awesome,even the chain has to be assembled..!!!
i would go nuts after the second chain link....

I gotta' go find something to smash with my sledge hammer.  Just looking at that detail puts me on edge.

And just think, all that work to produce a beautiful bike and he never has to clean a carby

I love this (translated) quote from when he's assembling the chain:

Moreover cannot sneeze. Otherwise the components had look.

I admire the craftmanship and attention to detail.  Pretty cool.  But I can't get past that after all the time and effort spent, what have you got?  A 6 inch long model good for nothing but looking at.  Why not spend the time hammering out Cobra bodies or something?  Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

google translator was amusing but nothing made much sense.

The paint job on the header was impressive.

Note to self: Build fussy motorcycle models in a larger scale like 1/6 or 1/4 to allow use of off-the-shelf industrial chain.

I used http://babelfish.yahoo.com and converted from Chinese (simp) to English.  Most of it makes some sense if you're used to this sort of thing.

all i get are question marks for words.

Yeah I see chinese characters when I view the mobile01.com page.  Sounds like you're missing a font pack.  Babelfish should still translate it OK for you.
