CREDITS

From the very start I want to thank the Mechanical Alchemist - (aka Pigskin) and the Mechanical Alchemist's Apprentice for their time, patience and for the space taken up in the Workshop of Wonders.

Post DVLA blues


Well, the inspection came and went. Two hundred quid out of pocket, skint for Christmas and to be quite honest, none the wiser. So goes the human condition. The chap inspecting did give me some clue - I may be able to obtain a registration in accordance with the era the bike was made, but not necessarily the VLR it has at the moment. Positive but no guarantee.
A late night took its toll on the Alchemist and myself. Still, the push for aesthetics has paid off methinks. I've always thought other people should suffer for my art.
The centre stand has disappeared, a tail light emerges. Pipes and silencer fitted and a seat takes form. Oh! what's that under the seat? The original nitro-jetpack-battery housing created and installed by the Alchemist (patent pending).


To do list:

  • Wire up the tail light
  • Reshape the seat and cover in dark tan leather
  • Chrome front fender (small hugger)
  • Mmmmm..... figure out why it's still only running on one cylinder!!! (fuel starvation?)
