Kaiser, you seem obsessed with old motorbikes, could this be a new area of interest for you.

Project I'd like to do would be to build a small trebuchet which is a seige catapult from medeival times. Set it up on a rocky beach and lob rocks out to sea

Could have an inter area spud projectile comp

By the by, July is about a week away, might be nice to firm up some dates for Arran and Keilder maybe, slotting them around Gaz's hols if he could furnish us with dates.

Cheers Velo

Arran date is set old chum, look on page 1, 1st post. I will edit the post to accomodate any other days oot any one would like included.

and trebuchet vs spud cannon canoe sounds lie a challenge

 

[velomaniac]

Yes, I could set up on the beach at Saltcoats and lob large baking tatties at you bobbing about in the surf as you return fire. Mind you the recoil on your cannon could sink you before my catapult

Never happen but very amusing thought

You two should be on scrap heap challenge

What's the Arran plan? Round the island (about 60mls) or off roady stuff?

Off roady stuff, but a road ride has always been mooted before.

 

[clockworkgazz]

off road please


however round the island is a cool idea to, just slick up the retro bikes and away- you could do a fixie Kaiser and keep AC company.

Hmmm, the constant fannying about with the stumpy is leaving me a bit bored :x think I'm gonna strip it and rethink? It has been one problem after another and I'm losing interest in it big style.
