Rust Quake

Finally repatriated my XS from my Mum's pigeon coop so as to get it ready to 'race' in the DIRT QUAKE chopper class. It hasn't run for, what 9, maybe 12 years. I'm praying it won't demand a total rebuild to revive it. We've stipulated regs' that chops do not have to have a road legal MOT, but otherwise be in a safe, decent working order, and not excessively covered in pigeon shit.
Once again the Multi-Spaz devoured all - this time including Mrs and 2 kids.It's not like there's a tree growing out of it or anything. BP

the Ⓢ sticker is a nod to the inspirational Swedish long fork crazies.
I once got tugged by the police in London who presumed I was a Swede. So I decided to play along in my best Muppet Show Swedish chef accent. They were none the wiser. BP

It's still a chopper however it arrives at the track. So yes, it's in. But are you?

- but preferably not 'trailer queens'. And you do get extra cool points for arriving with flies in your teeth and fused vertebra.

Maybe.
Not on my knuck though ... Too much to do this summer to wreck it in May.
Milo is representing the family, I'm pit bitch. Unless of course red marley does him in and then I'm up to bat.

The perfect sports bike for such an event.
