It’s great what people can achieve in the absence of a dissenting voice telling them “it can’t be done”.
Also, much as I’m now a committed EV driver, I love the sound of a triple.
You can like EVs and engines.

Done a bit over 1,000 miles in this now.
I really like it.
It seems most have an opinion on it, many of which are not at all impressed, and I don’t mind that at all.

The neck carved is finished and it’ll soon have final sanding followed by application of the oil and wax finish, followed by final assembly.
It’s been a lifetime’s ambition.
