Indeedy - some nice touches and I really like the crinkle black engine finish (including the heads). Starter button was cool too - oh, and great sound track

Thanks for posting K.
I like the look of the hanging V lump, but do you have any idea how the Ewan bike has it's side stand attached?

from here - awesome page of info from the 80's - http://www.eurospares.com/graphics.htm#Motorcycles
Dr john Wittners frame - copied tony Foales frame idea here - and the guzzi factory - who sponsored Wittner productionised the frame for their bikes later -
Tony's big-twin Guzzi.
Tony (Foale) built this Guzzi chassis for Dick Wood, owner of Moto Mecca in England, beginning work in 1982 Tony built one of his spine frames for the Guzzi, and "floated" the rear drive box to counter the shaft-jacking common to Guzzis and BMWs. There is a partial shot of the unfinished bike in Tony and Vic Willoughby's book "Motorcycle Chassis Design", but these photos from Perfomance Bikes show the completed bike in full color.
You may notice some similarities between Tony's frame design and that which later appeared on John Wittner's Guzzi race bike (and then developed into the current Guzzi Daytona/Sport chassis). Tony's frame uses a round spine tube instead of a rectangular tube, and has what I and others consider a superior sheet metal fabrication for the swing arm side plates instead of the bent aluminum plates that Wittner used. When I mentioned to Tony how similar the frames were he told me that Wittner, upon hearing about the Guzzi frame Tony was building, came to visit him with the alleged intention to order a couple of frames. Wittner took lots of pictures, asked lots of questions and went away and built his own frame. I know I've never seen any word of acknowledgement by Wittner for the, shall we say, "inspiration" for his "revolutionary" frame. I'm all for copying any good idea I can find, but I'm more than happy to credit the original source of the idea. I guess not everyone is willing to do that.

The Frame Looks like the Modern 1100 Sport frame . The Side stand is mounted where the Front engine mount
usually is on a Tonti Frame ..

Besides the obvious, Part's Guzzi (above) retains most of its original Tonti frame, save for a custom mono-shock swingarm ................chassis before mating it with a Hyperpro shock. ....................
Part's Tonti-flavored original spawned "OB1" (below left) follows the original’s round barrel Guzzi engine with monoshock theme, but uses an abbreviated frame section that seems to draw inspiration from both Dr. John Wittner (by using a V11S timing chest cover) and Lino Tonti's original vision. The swingarm pivot and frame "V" is pure Tonti, but grafted to a Teo Lamers mono-shock/HyperPro combination. Note attachment via the upper loop; very 1100 Sport/Daytona like. ..................................As previously mentioned, the front engine mount borrows a spine-frame timing cover/mount, leaving the lower engine-block holes uncovered. Part says those paying attention will notice the rear supporting section of the 'triangle' has been cut and angled forward.
