Skunkworks Norf Welly Massif Bucket Factory

[Skunk]

by Reuters local reporter Mahatma Koatmakane.

The Skunkworks Norf Welly Massif Bucket Factory will be open this weekend (Feb 9-10). There is expected to be few on Friday night, and a crowd on the Saturday. The Factory will be closed Saturday night due to other commitments but will reopen on Sunday.

Current projects are:
AX1R (minor mods)
Pamela (full build)
Aprilla AX (chamber and engine rebuild)
Purple Death (finishing)
ZX1R (engine rebuild)
other projects that may turn up on the day.

Due to the expense of feeding and watering such large numbers the SNWMBF has be forced to ask attendees to pitch in with the costs. This is a break from tradition where all costs were attempted to be met by the factory owners.
"BYO drinks or put up with beer" said an un-named source.
Another was quoted as saying "Bring a plate or cash". It is not clear what was meant by this.

Everyone appears to be welcome, though non-workers have been known to be made the butt of all the jokes.

One thing that has not changed is the cramped, dirty, noisy working space and the general low quality of workmanship.

I have golf on Saturday, but may turn up on Sunday as one of those 'non-worker' types to give you guys and girl someone to point and laugh at.

You do know you don't actually have to be present for us to do that don't you?

As fellow competitor Team Nudsty co-owner, I may just show up to steal a beer and generally see what ideas I can pilfer.....

Aha, job for Nigel, he can be a look out!!
When team Nudsty turns up, we act like dope growers and put the covers on! lol

Ssssshhhhh - don't want to arouse the Health & Safety Inspectors that might be lurking here.

Do you need some illegal immigrant workers to defect from the Shineray factory?

That was the reporters opinion not mine. Not that reporters can tell a straight story.

Illegal immigrant workers; some to do the cleaning would be good.

Just don't steal any workers from the Loncin factory.
Team Nudsty is hoping for an engine from there this month.

Skunk's "low compression" GL145 engine may not be that competitive....

I have a Mr Pitbike Loncin living in my lounge at the moment. Reckon he'd know a thing or two?...

OK...

And I might be there

I hope so... I've got a CB140 or something T to assemble and I'm not sure of the clearances.
