Hey Patrick, i am looking forward to seeing how this project turns out. Whats your plan for it ?

 

[fixerupper]

Yeah me too, those wheels look cool ...

 

[patrick2wd]

uhrm..

some sort of fusion.. thing.. but on two wheels..
has parts from a KTM (usd & fr wheel 17" instead of 18's)
R6 cockpit/ lights..
rear swing = + 100 mm
hope to finish it the coming winter,
exhaust is a bit of a pain..

Nice project buddy looks like the makings of a decent wee bike. Oh and I'm well jealous of your job.
Who do you drive for?

Tommy Cooper driving a train ? I've been looking at project bikes on eBay cos I've nowt better to do. That looks cool.

I was thinking Clarkson - remember the Photoshopped pic of him with his head out of an aircraft cabin window?

It was the expression that made me think of Tommy, one of my all time favourites. Quick chop job to show what I mean. I tried to do it the other way round but Patrick's fez kept blowing off

 

[patrick2wd]

I'll try to find one in the low countries.. (a fez)
but it'll be difficult to fill Tommies shoes..

It certainly would be difficult to fill his shoes, they were size 14

 

[patrick2wd]

14??!!

wow..
I'd need twelve pair of extra socks...
