I agree with Morrag -& Scannerzer.
Creating metal sculpture from what you've got to hand is what it's all about for me -but I've always fancied building a really radical single seater Reliant using a curved backbone, just like that, but with a plate either side of the top spine & tubes through the holes to form a solid looking "girder". Then I'd suspend the motor under it with no bottom frame rails. I'd make it shorter, lower & squatter, with maybe a cylindrical spun ali fuel tank at the back.
Lookin' good matey.

Well guys,I was going to make it shorter,but often I find my bikes tend to flow the way they want to go,so rather fight it I go with the organic flow...and guess what iv got one of those petrol tanks Mr Monkey..and if you want to co-build that type of trike give me a shout ..

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.
