A day in the life of an airhead, with not an airhead in sight ..

[(RIP) Proff]

Today I was in a good mood because it was not raining, first time for over a month.
I'd also managed to help Wackey sort out this bloody Royal Star Speedo so it could be delivered today.

.Took it for a test ride first and took some piccys...then off to Bournemouth to it's happy new owner

On my return, Another trike was ready to go back to it's owner after its 12 month service and MOT.

BUT before I took it I had to help remove the Hyosung from the bench and give it a quick test before main test tomorrow..

BUT the biggest news of all is this,,This is MINE and it's the last pics you will see of her with only 2 wheels
excuse pics, only had cheapo camera with me today

Didn't expect her to be on the bench before New Year !!!

PS anybody got a good Seat and base for a K75???

Please note gratuitous use of TIT's to get view count up

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

That K looks like the Para GS Jaythro has in bits currently

Good luck, Proff

Well that makes me want to post a gratuitous shot of my new (to me) K1 on here............

Why?? you triking that as well???

I was going to Trike an AIRHEAD 100RT but couldn't bring myself to do it

 

[fayeslane]

Why?? you triking that as well???

Now that would be a head turner

Although an extra wheel may be advantageous given my inept riding skills

You have Dibs, I don't know for certain if we will twin or triple shock it..
Will know by next week...

 

[(RIP) pastyman]

Bloody elll Proff, you sorted your garage out?:







Recon the 75 trike will be a treat but dont go all water cooled fourpot on us now.

No chance there Tony, 75 only has three pots and by far the best of the two early K's IMHO, infact about three hundred thousand miles better than the K100's

Be interesting to see how it turns out Proff. Is it ABS? will it transfer to the third wheel ok or would you have to bin it?

ABS will stay on the front wheel.
K75 has 2 separate systems so is easier to split
Not sure if we will put rear sensor on propshaft because the diff will negate its effect unless we can fit TWO sensors on the reliant axle..
We've gone this way before, just front wheel with no problems...
The back brakes will be vaccuum servoed as well.
You're dead right Val K75 is 10 times better bike than the 4 cylinder bricks.
I've just been told it's a unicycle now so If I can, I'll go and get another pic today ...

One other thing, this thread is in the airhead section because most of the folk interested in my projects visit this section....and as long as the MOD does not object, it'll stay in here................

Wackey has stated he wants it finished and on the road by the end of Jan, just in time for Sycos "do"
So dilemma, do I bing Gertie or Tricksie with me ?

 

[(RIP) pastyman]

K75... three pots.... dhuuuuuuu. ( hangs his head in shame)
THOUSAND APOLOGIES.























FEK, WE CN ALL MAE

KE MISTEKS

My good man, you are an icon in here, the thread will stay

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Update.
When one buys a bike from the Legend that is StEptoe and are told, clutch center is fucked, you can take it as gospel...

The Clutch has been replaced today.

A newer better seat was also obtained from that nice Mr Sherlock

Now the butchery can begin.

I'll post more as and when work progresses

Now the butchery can begin.

That cup

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Picked up my posh rear wheels yesterday BUT left the camera at Wackeys

225,65x 15 big and shiny !!!

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Well I spent New years eve down at Wackeys "helping" with my Tricycle
No going back now

Plus BIG wheels

 

[Kenny]

I think there is going to be a very happy Proff in a few weeks time

 

[Elvisto]
