    She said it's too small

    Looking for opinions, The chassis has been built and I have a choice of two bodies to use, the Velorex is ready to bolt on, but I think its too small, the old body once fitted to Velocette has been both lengthened and widened and is in the finishing stages. I am unable to supply a good pic of it but will show the before and after first stage and the Velorex, go hard and give your opinions, they will be greatly received.

    The only opinion that counts here is what SHE thinks...unless you're keen on the cold shoulder

    Yes, still a work in progress, but very close to finished. Roger delivered it to my place yesterday, says it handles superbly, no surprises there.

    Just waiting on the modified fibreglass body to be finished, Roger was keen to see how the velorex body looked, but thinks its a bit on the small size, I tend to agree.

    I was around his place last night & he showed me the photos, then I go back & log on here, & there it is again.
    Could you put up a pic of the side suspension? It sounded interesting, but I couldn't quite picture it.

    If you get the time whilst here, come round, bring Roger as he wanted to check the fit of the velorex body on it.

    Not a lot has happened for a few weeks, the good news is something is starting to happen.

    The granddaughter jumps into the unfinished project every time she visits, always asks the same question. "Grandad you said you would pick me up in your sidecar when I started school" yes I reply, " This is my second year at school and you still havn't picked me up" sigh.
