My fine steed

Post by truslack » Tue Jan 31, 2012 11:00 pm

Using this and the TTR250 whilst I build my Armstrong up (progress is slow, though my new headlight unit did arrive yesterday)


...because everyone needs a tractor alternator slung between the bike and sidecar, and running on a pulley from the crankcase :lol:

I love the look of marks contra.......bikes, they are so.........er...........user friendly. :lol:
They are made the same way as some of the hard core bikers machines round here, we have one guy called Mole, with a CX500 plus sidecar who uses it to pull coal out of his mine. :shock:
Looks just like this.

Have you never seen "Kelly's Heroes"?!
