Hi there, Tom from Germany...

I love this picture, too. It`s fantastic. I have similar ones from an Egli Honda K0, a CB 750 K1 and some
part pics from the engine and the carbs, all the same way shown.

Because I would like to enlarge this fantasic K0 puzzle, please can you tell me who has done it, or where to find the file of it??? Best to have in a higher resolution.

Thank you very much in ahead and best rgards from Germany.

Tom Ferenz ;) ;) ;)

It seems that his wife was tired of see the motorcycle in the living room... Then one day or she was angry she it has completely dismantled!! :o :o :D :D

Tom, here is the link where I found it...
If you manage to have the photo in very good definition, thanks to think about the group...;)

Hi there,

thank you very much for the link, I will try my best to get it in a much better resolution and of course, I will post it here, if that works out.

Other idea of why in parts..., maybe blind rebuilding with some time limit??? ( 1 hour or so...) just joking...

Many very best regards from Germany,
Four4ever,

Tom.

Hi everyone. Yup. That's my pic and my bike.

The pic turned out really cool. Ive been brining it to shows with the bike. A lot of people want a copy for themselves. I'll let everyone know when I start selling posters.

I am still working with a printer to get the posters done. In the meantime, you can check out this page and get on the waiting list for a poster:

I included a time-lapse video showing the creation of the photograph. Fun to watch!

Thanks KP! It was fun to relive that day when I was editing the video.

I plan to do more posters like this if this one proves popular.

Absolutely amazing video!  It's one thing to see a finished restoration that looks good but to see every single part in perfect condition before assembly is incredible.  How long did it take you to get all the parts ready?

And then to lay it out like that and have it look so good is also amazing.  I can't even imagine it.  Sam, your creativity and attention to detail is unsurpassed.  Wow...just wow.

Thanks Mark. That means a lot coming from such an accomplished restorer like you!

I had the bike for a few months as I figured out my plan (and finished sandcast #1378). Disassembly and restoration/rescuing took about four months or so (can't remember exactly). The photo took a (very long) day to do. And reassembly took about two months.

I have something special in mind for my next three-digit sandcast restoration!

So about six months.  That seems pretty fast to me.  Especially since in took me about 5 years.  ::)
