I think you'll end up with a fine looking bike  *ex*

Somehow I think the earlier rigid B's look better than my later swing arm model but the later swing arm B's shared a lot of common parts with the later swing arm A's which made it easy for me to get my B finished

The guns in the background of my B33 pic previously posted are snow guns as used in the ski industry.
In the winter I work as part of a crew that maintains a fleet of 200 guns.
They're powered by electricity and need compressed air,water supply and ambient temp below zero to puke out the snow through the nozzle banks and be blown out by a huge fan at the rear of the gun tunnel
The propane cylinders on these rigs power a tiger torch used for de icing components when we have to work on them....
Most important tool in the tool pack is a fag lighter to ignite the propane torch  *eek*

Scotty,
If you could pump aviation fuel out of those nozzles, fire it up and point it backwards you'd have a mighty useful sidecar for your bike! The worlds first turbo-jet BSA?

Fantastic idea graybeard  *ex*

It would certainly spook the cattle blasting down the lane wouldn't it  *????*

We have already converted one old knackered unit to dispense beer from a keg.

It gets a bit messy though as beer glasses are not used  *eek*
