BP /TT500 finished!

I don't know if all of you have this affliction, But every once in a while I get just caught up in something, and have to do it regardless of whats on the bench, or how much time we have to devote to a new project. These crazy sidecar bikes ,and the very easy chassis conversion is my temporary addiction. These things are just to easy to build, and are so much fun to drive or even watch go around the track, that I had to build another one today. I started with the Gulf Bike, and Decided to make this series in all Oil Company sponsors. Mainly because of the vast availability of decals. Anyway here is my latest addition to the group. My BP Oil bike. When I get time to make some more decals. I will make all the major motorcycle manufacturers names and stick them on the various builds.

Good enough to eat, Bob.

These things could catch on,you know!

There was a present day "Superside" trailed to tempt us a few years ago, but it seems to have disappeared.

BRM models was talking about one at the Nuremberg Toy Show, but it doesn't seem that imminent; I wonder if any members in the trade know anything about it?

Thanks Guys, I know these are kinda "out there" of our Normal stuff, But I think that's what part of the intrigue is with them.
I want to try one of the 1/24th scale Monogram Midget driver heads to give them a touch more vintage flavor, since the Aero's on these really don't say 80's Or when ever they were produced. either way, I am only trying to capture an overall effect, not perfect reproductions.
And David, You are right, they are catchy little things, one has only to drive one of the Modernized versions to really appreciate the experience.
