When it's a fkin monkey bike of course!!!
Anyway, this is a pictorial & wordmongery (is there such a word?) story of my short relationship with a Monkey Bike.
Over here in Yankland we use Craigslist alot for buying & selling stuff, & that's where l 1st saw my next project!
The owner wanted $380 but some tuts & sighs (coupled with my wonderful negotiating skills) had him helping me put it on the back of my truck for a mere $300............about 200 quid pre-Brexit!!!
Here's the damage to the tank when l got it, & it used to be a Snap-on Tools show accessory, that's why it only had about 450mls on the clock when l got it.

Filler quickly got liberally applied using a dinner knife!

I also got myself a new petcock from a place in the UK when l was back over there in May.

They're a joy to work on, just put them on a kitchen stool & don't tell the missus why it's missing!!!

I made a right Royal f*ck up of the filling/sanding/spray job so l covered my lack of workmanship with some stick-on look-alike carbon sheeting.

I got a bit carried away with my carbon sheet cutting skills though!!!

As l only bought it as a project (we need projects when we're old to keep us away from *school playgrounds!!! ) I re-advertised it for $550 & the one & only guy who answered the ad gave me the asking price!!!.....Yey!!!,,,about 75% profit!!

PS, it's not a Honda, just a cheap Chinese copy by Jiangseng.......
* Just for the sad tw*ts who jump on anything they possibly can to drag a person down...........THAT WAS A F8CKING JOKE!!! ____________________ Mick

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 264 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
