Featured Remember This Bloke

Not really my cup of tea but very interesting and creative nonetheless, @Iron!

 

I remember a local lads father (mid-70s) making his own fibre glass kit for his bike (I can’t remember what it was, but in my memory, it’s a Norton) He made a full racer type fairing and back end... I think the tank wasn’t included but it’s all a bit hazy. I remember being impressed though, that someone was taking a vehicle and totally changing it. Over the next few year, he made his own sailing yacht in his back garden. Had to get a crane and a lorry into the field next to their house to get it out.
Some people’s visualisation of projects and ability to see things through is fantastic, that’s why I like Milly so much... you see it happening.

Anyway, I rather like the above bikes... they have a unique look (edit- not the fluffy seat though)

 

Ah yes, the ‘circle of cool’.

Awesome letter! I haven't seen that before. Fiberglass can be beautiful if done correctly but some of the vw kit cars and such were awful, but the Hurricane is rad, but I'm definitely partial. Here's couple close up shots of the fiberglass work on my hurricane. I think it's a good balance of flashy and classy.
