From The Nice..

#1 Post by Willopotomas » Mon Apr 15, 2013 4:56 pm

To the RAT!

I bought this as a spares donor about a year ago, but have decided to turn it in to something obnoxiously German orientated.

Because my annual Jersey excursion is at the end of May, this thing will be on the road before the 6T. Work will continue on both, but the crank for the 6T may have to go back to be fettled yet.. Watch, err, the other space. :smt003

Keith.. Funny you should flag that pic up. I was thinking on similar lines for the other K100. Got loads of other projects to get through before that though. Ho hum.

BG.. No.. I mean obnoxiously obnoxious. I am going to Jersey after all. There is however no guarantee of my return. :smt003 :smt003

For the now, this'll do

Am still looking to regress it in to something obnoxious, but I haven't the time for that at the minute. A few faults had to be sorted out on this old bus, but it should do me well to Jersey and back. :smt003

Waffen SS Death head.. Maybe.. Swastika, hmm, may be a bit too far. More for the fear of having me bike set alight than anything else. :smt005

Won't it need floats for that?
