87 FZR 750, if it runs it's the business end of my Reverse Trike project.

If it doesn't run it'll be hit with a big hammer until it does and then it'll be the business end of my reverse trike project!

This will be mostly stripped and welded to a jig next week.

Bits for the Reverse Trike Project.

I've been doing a bit since we collected the FZ from a mates house. We've stripped the donor down and cleaned most of the stuff we intend to use for the RT. FZ 750 out of the frame and cleaned The carbs before cleaning, seized solid and mucky. Cleaned and working, the screws holding the assembly together all need replacing before they go back on the engine. Ford Cortina front upright and hub. 4 stud alloys going on the front. The next step is to decide which rear wheel and tyre combination we are going to use on the rear and get the steel ordered for the swing arm we are making to suit the job. It's going to be a slow build but it'll be done right in the end.

And welcome back to the late 1930's folks!

http://www.stephenfry.com/2013/08/07/an-open-letter-to-david-cameron-and-the-ioc/ And welcome back to the late 1930's folks! I have a theory about cycles of events and it would appear I'm not as mad as you lot think I am. It would appear that as a species we have not learnt the lessons of history, appear not to be affected overmuch by genocides or major bouts of ethnic cleansing and as long as it doesn't affect out own little lives too much will allow our ' leaders' to pretty much get away with anything. Where do we draw the lines, where do we make a stand and say no to megalomaniacs like Putin? I was called a 'free thinker' the other day by someone I respect a lot and my biggest fear is that the Plutocrats will do their utmost to remove that freedom to think and say what I think is right. Putin is a Plutocrat who has decided to have a serious punt at doing his utmost to do as much harm to the LGBT community in Russia as he can. It's blindi...

Austerity and Charity If you live in the United Kingdom in 2013 you will just be starting to understand ‘Austerity’. It’s a scary word because what Austerity means is that the politicians have run out of ideas. Well what I mean is, they’ve run out of sensible ideas. I mean they’ll spend 84 billion on Trident when it’s pretty clear we no longer have the means to maintain the submarines that are supposed to deliver it and we don’t really want to start a nuclear war. They’ll spend hundreds of millions on failed IT system after failed IT system to ‘root out’ fraudsters when it runs at 0.3% of all claims but they can’t do something as simple as lower VAT. They’ll pour hundreds of billions of quantitative easing into the pension funds and banks who will promptly pay bonuses and dividends with their tax funded windfall but they won’t give working households a tax rebate that they’d spend. Heating and food bills are on the up while incomes are on the way down, I’m no economist but eve...
