What will you do this winter?

[The Mad King Pepe']

Right now I think the worst case scenario is me showing up at DucPond with a few boxes full of engine bits and pieces.

[tocino]

I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time someone has shown up there with a bike in boxes. Good luck!

[Statler]

I suppose I should wax the gravel rash as much as possible out of the RS and replace the left rearset and clipon-barend. 

and maybe put on a new rear turn signal for the one left at Loudon.


but I won't.


Statler to perhaps show up at some event next year with rat bike RS.

actually, I am surprised you didn't put the 125 or 150cc motor in it sooner....maybe go for the 150 and scratch out the 1 in the casing stamp for "plausibility"...LOL

Stumbled upon this thing on eBay a few days ago, and I decided to follow it, and as of last night I own it.

Only question now is where do I hide it from my wife...   


What am I thinking of? 


Well some basterd recently posted this online and it struck a nerve. I love my monsters but ever since I sold the 748 I've found myself missing something, I can't put my finger on it but it's missing.

On the other side I didn't like the mess of tubes and wires that come with liquid cooling, fuel injection and the ugly 4v heads. I want it something simple, clean and elegant (at least in my eyes). And I've decided to build it myself.

Ingredients? Obviously SBK forks and triple (already have those), a 2v engine, FCR carbs, and lightweight wheels whose availability will likely influence whether I go DSSA or SSSA. Between clip-ons and a handlebar the latter is more likely, the 748 really killed my wrists.

Issues? Hehe, loads! I don't have a proper garage where I can work or access to milling/cnc machines so that will be a huge limitation. But it's all good.

So I think I know where I'm going and what I hope the end result will be: [moto] and and [moto] and .

Dude, you could have just bought my SC.

The thread title is what will you do THIS winter, not the next ten consecutive winters...

Im thinking coffee table!  A nice Black Walnut base, supporting the frame at the proper angle and a glass top.

Reminds me of what the guys on Top Gear did: V8 block for the table and seats as chairs - with working electric reclining motors

[Artful]

I'm almost wishing the 1.8 in my VW will give out so I can make a shop table out of the block and lamps out of the pistons.
