Health and safety gone mad!

Recently, the enlightened company I work for decided to ban Bungee straps, apparently they could have my eye out, they are, however, more than happy for me to drive my 2.5 ton van home at 70Mph at 8 in the morning having just worked a 24 hour shift, nodding asleep at the wheel.
Its nice to know then that you can still have legal fun on two wheels (for the time being) without the H&S thought police breathing down your neck.
While Northamptonshire isn't blessed with the scenic views of the Yorkshire Dales, nor the sunny lanes of Cornwall, there is something we have in abundance - Mud - and shit loads of it!

Had a cracking ride out this morning, fell off twice and got plastered. The cub is about 150 miles in since its top end rebuild and running really well.

Finally got the Triumph finished up:

Gone in 60 minutes

Dry build is done, just tore into the bike and got it stripped. various parts to be cleaned up + finished welded then its off to paint.

Coming together

Decided on the wassell, got the tunnel lowered today

Different tank and yokes

Totally changes the look, I'm really torn over which tank to use now. The standard Trump tank is low and mean looking, but quite fat and not very 'different', I suppose the Wassell is quite common too, but its smaller and gives a skinnier look. Its got to be one of these 2 tanks - no more money to speculate - more mockups required

Good progress

Been busy the last week.
Seat is on and the mudguard is finally mounted, just got to join up the tack welds.
The bike looks so much more complete now, I'm really happy with how its coming together.

Shiny shiny

Eventually picked these up - they are probably the nicest motorcycle thing i have ever owned!
