I was so consumed with jealousy when I first saw this. That was when I got my decrepit 125cc version. But after filling in the myriad of cracks and worn away alloy on the left (which afflicts most of these bases) and finally painting it with fresh gold hammertone, it truly feels rewarding and better than obtaining a good one.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
