Re: That stupid idea I mentioned ...
I'm more worried that it's in the house Stu not the workshop. Unless you have a very neat workshop....
Top work though - will it be a bit noodley though?

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Re: That stupid idea I mentioned ...
One of my favourite bikes from the 1980/90s was the Honda VT500. Lovely engine. Dreadful handling. Death brakes. But the donk was brilliant for something with about 50hp, especially in traffic.Shouldn't be, there's a lot of triangulation going on (even more so with the lump bolted in place) ... think Ducati but smaller.
You got one of them in mind Stu?
I'm just going outside ...
