    To say you're a genius Allen would rather be a minimalistic understatement, rather like saying "Water's wet" or "Fire's hot"
    Whilst I'm never going to aspire to the lofty heights you've achieved, what you have done is to get me out to my little bike shed and got me trying to make things, and even though I'm disabled since my motorbike accident and have very little tools, I AM doing something; because you made me believe I could. You are an inspiration to us all.

    The frame geometry, and then the crafting of a frame!
    Allen, you’re such a joy to watch, and to listen to. You’ve rolled all of these well honed disciplines into such a beautiful creations, I am in awe of your ability!
    I’ve never built a bike from scratch, but have years of riding and tinkering. Lots of tinkering after I fell in love with my Triumph and Norton. But it was all a 250,000+ mile, and years or tinkering pleasure!

      I am guessing Allen is in his 50s, probably has a few years NCB and insures multiple vehicles. Age of bike? 1947 ish? Horsepower? 100 to 150? No supercharger and not balanced like a rotary for higher revs. It might not be that scary in terms of cost. I just increased my BMW R65 to 860 and it cost me a tenner. Mainly for admin even though it was renewal time. If I was 19 and wanted a Ducati, then the price would be different. I imagine the Viper might be a different prospect...
      Edit 1930s and 80 ish HP after quick search. Value for insurance? Various scrap parts bolted together, could be £1,000 or £20,000 unless it's been valued!

      You see long handlebars and tanks on early motorcycles, especially 4 cylinder models. We used "longhorn" handlebars on our bicycles when I was a kid in the USA in the 1950s.
