m m motors overload

[hornet6]

just luv this site so much its sending me into info overload. as ive explained before,i intend to try having a go at building a chopper. ive more or less sussed out in my head the logical steps how to start and been on various links from this site,how to go about building it. at the moment ime waiting for the taper bearings for the forks,which should be hear by the end of next week,and then i will be able to start work on the headstock and hopefully with a lot of luck it should all start coming together. only problem is,is that when ive got spare time i always come on this site and start looking at all the pics of the hot rods mainly the ford pops, which ive always loved and wanted. what makes things even worse is the fact that on my way to work,i pass a garage that sells old cars and they've got one on the forecourt thats been there for 12 months with a sold sign on it. but its still there every day! it makes me feel like selling the hornet the scooter the pushbike and the dog just so i can buy that one. help me,ime a tormented soul.

I'm afraid there's no cure mate. Once the bug's bitten you're buggered for life. Insanity & insolvency await you. A chop for the Summer & a Pop for the Winter. Makes perfect sense to me. I'm gonna have a trike & a truck.
Mouse sent me a pic of his old Pop the other day. Not his Dad. His Ford. "Lemon Popsicle". I remember this one from way back. A full write up as soon as he sends it, (hint, hint!).

defo no cure mate me I've got a Land Rover for the bad weather, Pop pickup for running around etc, Panther Bobber for having fun, Panther trike for errrr running around and fun , Indian for errr fun I guess, Bsa for something and a Velo Solex cause I'm stupid  oh and a 2 CVwhich I haven't a clue why I purchased it but I just had too so either get used to the madness or avoid the forum 

(vehicles in red are unfinished/started projects )

Hi hornet6, yep they're quite right no cure known for this bug. I've got two on the go, a virago 535 and a Austin mini auto trike. Going to cut up the mini trike and start again...what a job thats going to be, oh well ....Happy Days (or should that be Daze!!!!!).
Great people on this site, loads of info available, and its a happy, fluffy, cuddly site too!!! Unlike some!!!

Without having a dig at anyone - honest! - if you spread yourself to wide you end up with nothing on the road!  Decide what you want most and go for it!

- from someone who is doing just that!
