Albert C here....
It's been raining.....and raining......and raining......Yep ! It does a lot of raining in Blighty ! Even more so up here in Yorkshireshireshire. Probably why most of the county is covered with reservoirs.
(Reservoir - Fancy us Brits adapting a french word into our language....anyway I guess one french word won't affect our stiff upper lip and control of the Empire and colonies, let's not make it a habit though)
The rain has stopped movement in 'The Old Sidevalve Bar' .....What's to do ? A bit of thinkin'
Thinkin' about how come I've got this natural need to motorsickle ......Could be generic!
So, it's in my genes....thank fu**. I'm crammed full of motorsickleness......feed into me from 8 or 9yrs old....
Hey !!!! I'm not complaining....In fact, it's the best way to be.....Rather that than being fed on a diet of digital 4G garbage.....living on the inside of the matrix is for losers !!!!!.
Late 1960's early 1970'.......here's how it went when it was raining at our house and I couldn't 'play out'.....Sketch books opened.... Pencils sharpened.... Dad and me would try out draw each other with brilliantly designed futuristic sickles....mine were pretty basic as you can imagine for a lad still wearing short trousers but here's one of Dad's I've kept.....Price tag was so far out of reach it was untrue, now it's like pocket money...
Shaft drive......3 or maybe even 4 cylinder radial layout...... big drum brakes......and a whopping £999.99 !
One day I should build it.....sketch to reality...
Posh !- If you pour me a flagon I'll check your etchings !
