I probably shouldn't pop round to look at a bike sporting Waffen SS stickers!

Nope. No. No. No. No.

Deffo not a Kat!

I like the bit “ Since the build was finished I haven't used the bike.”

For some reason, I only built British and American planes. That Flying Fortress was a bloody nightmare with all those moving turrets.

I don't get the stretch thing.....but the fairing flows well in the lines ...I saw a Bandit with a pop up Kat fairing on once ....fitted well ...... So if you fit a Bandit engine to a Kat it's a Kat but if you fit Kat bodywork to a Bandit it ain't ? ;)

As for model planes ...for those of us who hung them from the ceiling , may I suggest you visit RAF Cosford when it opens again , it's free and the have full planes hanging from the ceilings and walls , and I mean full planes ...Lightnings , Hunters , Vulcans....

Yes.

Is a Lamborghini kit car based on a Beetle floorpan, a Lamborghini or a Beetle or a Shed?

It looks to have that German rear tail.

I've never been into planes, I don't even like flying. Except in Grand Theft Auto V, then it's fun to shoot crap from the friendly skys of Los Santos (city in that game).
82 Katana 1000 (work in progress, but she will be beautiful she has a dedicated sugar daddy)
2010 Z1000 (50k miles, I think that is like 60 Kilometer's or so)
