Tim Horton's, the chain of coffee shops in Canada & the States, sell boxes of donut nibbles, supposedly the bits from the middle of their ring donuts.  if anyone's still interested in the bike, rather than holey Jaffa Cakes, (sounds like a line from Batman & Robin), it's tucked away in the garage for the time being while I concentrate on my truck, but after a little bit of welding, I'll probably get the side panels powder-coated in black. If I don't like them I can spray them green over the top. I'm going to try & shorten the rear guard a bit & reshape the support struts to make it less obtrusive cos I really like the look of the bike without them, but need to keep it reasonably road legal. |

I've never been stopped on a chop or a trike either, only on standard bikes. Obviously riding customs is the way to go then.  |

If he's riding that so blatantly, it must be legal!

Same thing with trikes! I thought I was in for a speeding fine once, just clocked the officer with the speed gun as I entered the speed limit going rather too quickly (but slowing) and he very deliberately turned away from the road!
Never been stopped even with my Heath Robinson suicide shift.

Yeah, I had a visit due to welding very late at night. Turned out they wanted a brew and had a complaint from a dog walker so just turned up.

My last 2 projects. No more after these. I just want to get out & enjoy what I've got now instead of spending my life building things. Keeping them forever  Now that look good, wish I had both. |
