Better hurry up, with the school hols starting the "pestering" will increase!

Looking good though

 

[Sam]

The school has been on holiday here for three weeks now, but they are in Ireland and back on Monday.

 

[Benny]

looks brill. i now want to build 1

 

[Sam]

Well finished the chassis last night so off it went to the powder coaters late this morning arrived at Allcoat finishing in Haddington East Lothian at 10.45 am ( blame big Joe ) at 2.00 pm recieved a call from one of the partners saying come on back and get your chassis its done. Had told him it was a present for my eldest sons birthday which had past they were just finishing off a job so stuck it straight in the oven and gave it a coat great service and very reasonable price. Not to mention a first class job.

 

[TheJoker]

Very nice!! Did you get to choose the colour or was it "what was going"? Either way it looks very cool. Can't wait to see it assembled.

 

[Sam]

Ruaidhri wanted light blue and that was the closest they had. Sure it is around £100 a box of powder so rathar than pay that I took what they had.

 

[TheJoker]

Understandable.

Can't wait for the bits to start falling into place!

 

[Sam]

Final build taking shape!

 

[runnach]

EXCELLENT, whens muddy the wheels day Sam?

 

[Sam]

Not sure! have a tank and panels to fab first and finish off the wiring it is Lauder ride out tomorrow so that will be the weekend lost. If you are not doing anything it is worth a look probably around 300/ 400 horses through the street at around 12.00 then Free in the park at 2.00 pm the dangleberries are playing worth a lsiten too.

 

[runnach]

Cheers for Info about ride out, don't think we have anything planned (have to check with B on her return) maybe take a jolly doon?

 

[Drains]

That Lauder jobbie's tempting.. but I've got to work. I'll tell Drainetta, she loves her horses.

Buggy looking grand Sam. Did you make it to Traquair? Joe tells me you know Mr Forbes?

Cracker job that Sam, how much you think it has cost all in roughly?

Yes i know Alan. No did not make it headed off to Ireland was trying to get something sorted out for them in Plockton think they were getting there mid week then over to Glenelg but had left before Heather replied to my email. Wouldn't have minded going over tho! How did the wicker man go my mate Kev was playing there?

Have not tallied up what I have spent so far but will do, have kept all record of what was spent. I bought a whole bike and then put the parts I did not need back on fleabay and am now in profit and thats keeping back the spare engine and electrics. dont think it will be much more than £600.

 

[Robotstar5]

I like the mounting for the handlebar controls in pic 3, just a suggestion, have you considered a "kill" switch easily accessible from inside and out? (just in case)

 

[Sam]

You can just make it out on the top right hand corner there is also one on the l/h side on the switchgear.

Simon have just done a tally it came to £697.58p but I had materials from previous jobs so think would be closer to the 1k mark as have a few rose joints and odds and sods to buy.

 

[TheJoker]

Awesome! Very nicely done!

 

[simon718]

Nice one Sam thanks for that, not as dear as i was expecting! Whens the first outing then?

 

[Sam]

It will be a few weeks away yet have some work to finish off next weed and also a house to decorate for the new tennents.
