360°


after some cutting


rolling


welding


this


and that...















we can enjoy looking at this tank from any angle 
but when i sit on the bike and look down the tank,
that's the best view! it gives me goose bumps.
i tried to take some pictures of it but
was unsuccessful to reproduce that sensation...
guess that's a riders privilege.

360°どこから見ても楽しめるタンク。
でも一番はバイクにまたがった時に見える光景、こりゃ乗る人の特権。
写真に撮ろうと思ったけど、どうやって撮っても全然実物と違う・・・
ので諦めました。

I am going to try to make my own tank soon. Can you please show how many different pieces have been fabricated and welded together to make this tank? Not all your secrets though! ;)
