Cobra Superslots for sale

From behind the shed, I found these when pruning/deforesting.
Cobra Superslots 14x6 ET12 with a PCD of 114.3mm (or pretty damn close!)





Got them for a mate for his pop top bedford rascal but they poked out a little much so he didn't want them. I've given one a quick go with some scotchbrite and it comes up ok, so I'd be hopeful for the rest. They are black on the back side and that is in good nick.

Fruity nut loops


What do you do with a seized Fiat Punto engine? You don't Fix It Again Tony.

Cut a cylinder off
Weld it up

Stick the resulting single cylinder engine in a push bike

Still not enough? How about a Turbo?

Zen of Neato

I saw it and couldn't resist, thanks to Brad for sending it out so fast.

Thanks to my g/f for modeling it.

Coming together

Busy day today. After finishing off the frame brackets yesterday and painting the frame it was assembly time. First off swingarm, shock (with new spring), forks and wheels

Then add the bodywork to see how it sits

Then get the engine in

Then have a feeling of satisfaction

Just waiting on some spacers for the wheels, and exhaust flanges so I can build the exhaust system. After that it's all pretty easy.

Confession


It's no good, I have to confess to liking small bikes. The simple Suzuki VanVan, Yamaha TW125/200, Suzuki TU250, Honda FTR250 and Yamaha SRV250 all have a special place in my heart. Sadly they don't come up very often, or if they do, I'm skint and can't afford them. I also have way too many projects.
Anyway, here are some delicious small bikes.






We forget how many little bikes we don't get over here.

Salty

My email buddy out in Aus, Stew, sent me some pics of the Salt Racer SR500 he's been working on. Lovely lines, and I dig that cheeky Megga peeking out from the belly pan.
