One of the road racers I built was called The Copycat. The reason for the handle is that it is an exact copy of the bike built by Surtees. All I had to go by was a picture of the Surtees bike taken from Classic Bike Magazine.

I built the bike because I needed the money to plow in to my Vincent streamliner on it's return from Vancouver, Canada after the Vibrac lease expiration. A fellow by the name of Larry Feece commissioned the bike. I owed Larry a big favor, so I contracted to do the job for a mere $10 an hour.

This bike has won many trophies, mostly in "The Peoples Choice" category. (I heard tell that Jay Leno once climbed on it.)
