I took a bunch of closeups for the lads to see as it is a very special machine, this is the first one built and was the build after the original Denco Aero bike.

Have a look here Britten Motorcycle Company for the full site and sit back and enjoy some pics.

First one of me on it , more pics afta!

Absolutely awesome, Monstaman!

...For those who don't know, all that carbon fiber (wheels,forks, etc) was HAND made..........in a one-man workshop.........+/-15 years ago......!!!

I love all the hand forged parts, too. You can see the slightest imperfections. This bike was like a time machine from the future.

Great pics.
