this german bloke might enlighten you on what's really happening in good ole europe, doubt you've seen that on abc news, figuring that from the pile of bullshit that i see on euronews, an eu official channel that broadcasts on russia
a piece of european politics, fuck it, i didnt raise the theme tho

cool bike mate!
welded, tidied up with files, engine's set to check up for clearances for gassets and bracings
decided to change an original gasset for a custom one
Thanks!
It ate a crank bearing and the cams/rockers about a month ago... so it's in bits again.
The frame was my first welding project - done with a gasless mig no-less. Will strip it and re-do it one day.
Love seeing the progress on this thing.

keep bracing the frame and cutting off odd mounts, cut off 6 more - 4 battery box mounts, the ground wire mount and the brake lever half mount hehe
I love what you are doing but it reminds me of an axe we have had in our family for generations. It has had four new handles and two new heads.
something like that?

although an axe with 5 handles and 3 heads aint very handy but can be your family emblem

the frames almost finished
managed to use an oem petcock and fuel sensor, wasn't a piss of coke
everythings just standard lol
rear mounts designed, fabbed and tacked
front mounts r designed, cut out, drilled, shaped and adjusted, will be bored off tomorrow and tack welded
nothing is piss of coke alas
Is there anything you can't do mate? Absolute genius.
