I built this back in 2007:
Everyone at the time was building the shop bikes and i thought it would be cool to replicate Elliot's bike from the film.
I know it was a looptail unlike Elliot's but hey.
TBH hated these bikes as a kid but it wasnt until I saw Jazzchimp's at MK06 that I realised how nice they are. Ride very well too. Underestimated bikes the Kuwaharas.

Sorry, I have put my fishing rod away now. On the subject of tribute bikes and one close to your heart...
Munners Fiola Kos replica was quite an interesting build. Did a photo of Eddie riding that event with an OPC ever surface? I only saw the Aerospeed pictures.
