Jean-Paul Segaud, Jean-Michel Bonnot and Jean-Claude Brun from France have created a full size H2A out of wood!
4000 hours involved... 130kg!
10 different types of wood were used to recreate the correct colors.
Chapeau, Messieurs!

That is MOST impressive.

I just showed it to my project manager and told him next time one of our guys calls and can't figure out how to get the cabinet, doors, trim, or whatever to fit show them this!!

So, who's going to bring up the decal issue? :lol: I wonder if they will make one for me if I promise not to mail them a container of termites.

When the first concept H2 "bikes" were sent around the world to the various distributorships, they were real bikes for the most part, with wooden engines installed, because the final design hadn't yet been ready to show. One of the racers back then that worked at KMC, Al Gunter, had obtained one of those wooden H2 engines. Al is long passed away, but, his son might still have that wooden lump someplace.

The factory brake pads were made of wood, so appropriate to just make the whole bike out of wood. Rings probably didn't last too long. :lol:
