Proud to be able to build an old motorcycle, let alone rewarded a major trophy when participating in the contest. This is what might be perceived Larry Lamb Houghton and Engineering from the British crew. They won the title of champion in the event Custom Chrome International Bike Shows, March 27, in Mainz, Germany.
Larry was then to include a motor 1951 BSA Goldstar "compromised" in such a way and given the name "Son of A Gun".
If you see the picture and said, "Well this is not a BSA Goldstar," then Larry et al would suck. The shape is almost stripped of authenticity.

"His style is a mix of motorcycle racing in the 1960s Honda and Yamaha FS1E," said Larry. He was with the team spent 1200 hours to build this bike and buy some spare parts from eBay.
The total cost of development "Son Of A Gun" was gold and chrome is reached 9800 U.S. dollars, or approximately USD 90 million and does not include crew costs. At a reasonable price for the cup championship? Larry least satisfied smile.
