    The "Purple Death"

    Thought I'd follow suit and make a thread about my bucket, known as "purple death"

    well, it is complete and running now, has brakes, motor runs..

    I'll need to bleed the remaining air out of the brakes before i'd trust them on the track though.

    I even pulled the head off tonight and cleaned it up and put it back on. suprising how much power you lose with a leaking head!!

    Photos to follow.

    I decided that putting a RS125 tail on it would ruin the bucket that is is (read: Bucket of SHIT)

    So the taped up seat will have to do the business.

    Some number boards are next on the list as well as a kill switch

    Enjoy!

    That's the 3rd safest looking bucket I've ever seen.

    Disc brake, intact lever ends, no visible petrol leaks.

    It's positively a Volvo.

    Hey! Don't call all our half-hearted, disinterested, boredom break, pissing around 'shocking workmanship'. That's insulting to shocking workmanship

    Good to see you went for oil in the gearbox instead of water too. Does the clutch work better now?
