    I seem to remember an episode in OCC where they built a bike for auction and bought it back.

    I can't say that i can contribute to this, but i'm just so amazed by the big names that are putting this together, and all for one man.

    It's just such a touching thing to see. Keep it up guys and I hope this sells well. It should do with the amazing modding involved.

    So true. So.... this should either be a wake up call for networks to start making GOOD TV, or it's a wakeup call for americans to stop watching FOX?

    Getting so close. I'm losing my attention to my own build. I'll never be this world class.

    I keep coming back for the pictures and reading the names of the contributors.

    Namaste.

    All of us, putting our personal goals aside and collaborating on one common goal, creates & strengthens friendships for life. John's circumstances made our community even stronger.

    I think so too, now before i sound all "pat myself on the back" i was really worried that the red would clash with the blue since i didnt have enough blue to redo them, but i think it actually brings out the 'flag' part of it quite well :)

    It is pretty much done - just have to attach the back side. Money I plan to set up a proper videocamera and then do a tour of the rig giving credit to each person who helped out as I cover the insides and outsides (assuming I do not kill myself tomorrow - last day of snowboarding season). Oh, still need to find an optical drive. I have a new external I can send but I want to find an internal but either will do I guess). Will clean the windows before E-bay pics ;)
