The best thing about being a bit mental is that people aren't all that surprised when you do things that borderline lunacy, they just smile and slowly back out of the shed trying not to make eye contact and that's a win for everyone. So i used the shitty red kymco tank to make what we shall refer to as my dot in space or spacedot for short.
Spacedot marks the point at which the invisible seat and tank meet, that point where under heavy braking your pillion squashes your balls into a thin paste against the tank. That is Spacedot.
I mustve stared at spacedot for quite a while and consumed most of the eastern suburbs beer because at this point i decided to do something very stupid.
Subframes? Pffft, fuck physics and newtonian laws, that shit is for sane people. I had a better idea. What if i made the tank the subframe by welding a hardback through the middle of the tank and up under the seat?
I looked around the shed at various bits of stray alloy and found a length of 6mm walled tube with a bend in it. I put it in the vice and hung my 125kgs of piss and gristle off it and it didn't send me hurtling toward the earth, i bounced, it didn't bend. Fuck yeah this is gonna be cool.
This probably not how you spacedot but its how i spacedot
