rat chop,out of parts and shit around the garage,4hr build up to now



Here is my old CB engine i had under the bench for yrs,a old iron head chop frame,spare astralite wheels,inverted forks,a spare Weber,and a french pushbike light ,i recon i can have this on the rd in maybe 2 weeks if i get the time.I need something to commute on ,and standards boring!.I ordered the stainless tube for next years bike ,i want to try my hand at something a bit more radical and showy,might even spend more than a couple of hundred! :)ill stick pics up as i go ,I'm busy at the moment finishing another CB for my mate Kev,i need to pull my finger out with his,I'm dragging my feet ,but now i feel good about building,so ill crack on

  1. you actually wrote you were going to try your hand "at something a bit more radical?" like the terminatornator (that's what i named your nsu) wasn't radical enough.

    ah. you wanna bling like the stars now. all famous n' shit. sheesh.

  2. Im looking forward to the 8 cylinder nsu build. I watched despots build thread on britchopper, and i reckon robbie will build a frame worthy of the motor.

  7. my mistake robbie.... i thought you were using chris "despot/desperate" irlands straight 8 motor .just re-read your blog and its a v8 your going to make.
    looking forward to seeing that happen.

  8. well ,i say v8 but really its just one in front of the other,these engines are so simple to work on and to connect ,im busy searching ebay for bits,this one will be blown and weber carbed and im keeping the electric starter on one engine because my shin gets a battering every time i start the nsu 4 ,it will be worse on the 8

  9. Driving in my car, smoking my cigar,
    The only time I'm happy's when I play my guitar.
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
    Singing in my yacht, what a lot I got,
    Happiness is something that just cannot be bought.
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
    I've been in and I'm out, I've been up and down,
    I don't want to go until I've been all around.
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
    What's it all about, anyone in doubt,
    I don't want to go until I've found it all out.

    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
