StarFan Posted June 26, 2015 #1 Posted June 26, 2015 Well, finally Kristjan´s Midnight Venture got finished, all purdy and tuned. Kristjan drove from the Northern part of the Iceland where he lives to my place in Reykjavik (South part) to spend a night, take a test drive and give his verdict. Well, the verdict was watery eyes and a big hug. Just the hug made it worth while for me. Been working on his bike trough the winter and put over 200 hours into it. Even though I say so myself then I think I pretty much nailed it. Bike is better than new with only 16.000 miles on it. Here are some pictures of a proud guy taking his bike back home. Enjoy Kristjan !!! http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a501/jonaslill/Kristjan%20Ben%20Eggertsson%20Midnight%20Venture%202003/Kistjan%20delivered/SAM_3385_zps5dqsa4vz.jpg One happy Guy ! http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a501/jonaslill/Kristjan%20Ben%20Eggertsson%20Midnight%20Venture%202003/Kistjan%20delivered/SAM_3383_zpss0ozxfdr.jpg Even proud I think ! http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a501/jonaslill/Kristjan%20Ben%20Eggertsson%20Midnight%20Venture%202003/Kistjan%20delivered/SAM_3384_zpsi1jwnivb.jpg JAMES DEAN WHO ? http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a501/jonaslill/Kristjan%20Ben%20Eggertsson%20Midnight%20Venture%202003/Kistjan%20delivered/SAM_3382_zpsym6t9qaa.jpg SIBLINGS from my workshop ! http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a501/jonaslill/Kristjan%20Ben%20Eggertsson%20Midnight%20Venture%202003/Kistjan%20delivered/SAM_3377_zpsagqttggm.jpg DANG !

StarFan Posted June 26, 2015 Author #7 Posted June 26, 2015 [quote name= Nice work Jonas, bet the folks at Corbin cant wait for your next phone call:scared: Craig[/quote] Won´t be a phone call. Gonna visit and have a few words with them !
Hummingbird Posted June 26, 2015 #8 Posted June 26, 2015 Oh my gosh -- you should have given ample warning. Beautiful is all I can say because I have to go hydrate myself because I drooled all over the keyboard, desk and one of our cats walked by and he's soaking wet as well. Golly, what a fine example of talent and an enourmous amount of "care"
StarFan Posted June 26, 2015 Author #9 Posted June 26, 2015 Drivers are kinda cute too. Lol Now like I told you before: THIS TIME YOU KEEP HIM RIGHT ! Im going bankrupt of transporting him all over the world !
YamahaLarry Posted June 26, 2015 #11 Posted June 26, 2015 2 beautiful bikes. Color me impressed!!! Love the seats and need to teach my wife how to make mine look like that.
eagleeye Posted June 26, 2015 #12 Posted June 26, 2015 Absolutely Gorgeous, and I certainly can see why you would love to keep them both. You know Jonas, I sit here and look at those bikes and shake my head at the details that you put into them, but just now I see something I hadn't before. --The white cover in front of the gas tank on Kristjan's bike-- Painted?
StarFan Posted June 26, 2015 Author #13 Posted June 26, 2015 I sit here and look at those bikes and shake my head at the details that you put into them, but just now I see something I hadn't before. --The white cover in front of the gas tank on Kristjan's bike-- Painted? Yes, painted the same color as the rest of the white details (actually pearl white). I let Kristhjan decide afterwards if he wanted to keep it that way or have it black. Have an extra set of black ones just in case he did not like it and actually I was not sure of this would work ut being white. Thought it would be to much. After putting the bike together I liked it. My taste - I would not chance it but everyone for his own taste right ? Am gonna get the ones for the Red Baron Chromed and see how it turns out. Will post pictures when I am done but that will not be untill late september. Thank all for your nice comments. If anybody wants to have a closer look then just come to ICELAND
StarFan Posted June 26, 2015 Author #14 Posted June 26, 2015 Beautiful bikes, both of them. Well Don - If not for you then this bike would not be mine ! Thanks for all the help with buying the bike my friend ! Jonas / StarFan
BIG TOM Posted June 26, 2015 #15 Posted June 26, 2015 Nice job buddy... so when should I ship mine to you? You know the more I see pictures of Kristjan, the more he scares me.....He has those crazed little beady eyes....You have to watch those guys with them beady eyes.....He would be the type of guy that would SLOW down when he sees a police car....you know the type...I wouldn't share a tent with him....lol
StarFan Posted June 27, 2015 Author #16 Posted June 27, 2015 Shared at tent with him at your rally last year. Ain´t gonna happen again. No details, but am gonna bunker up at Ben´s Motel in a single room this year !
Great adVENTURE Posted June 28, 2015 #21 Posted June 28, 2015 Both those bike are absolutely amazing!
StarFan Posted June 29, 2015 Author #22 Posted June 29, 2015 Both those bike are absolutely amazing! Thanks Dan ! The only thing that went wrong was that I made his bike better looking than mine Well, gonna take a crash course in custom painting in UK this winter and get me some equipment. Have a Milliennium that is pretty banged up - just waiting for some custom paint . Lets see if I can make it number one Watch out KRISTJAN

Virtual legends in our own minds (all that really matters) so to speak Thanks Puc you clean shaven,,,ehhhh,,,,,,,ehhhhhh,,,,,,(language barriers, DOH,,,,,) Noticed you did not mention Clint Eastwood.
