A brief intro: I 've just come back from eight years in the states, so I thought I better start hanging at a British site....I met some great folks at "The Horse"forum and hope to have the same luck here.

Here's what I'm building now:

Good day, welcome to the forum.

Am I right in thinking that you would be the artist formely known as Alfabeast and that you built that very cool V6 Alfa bike?

Location: under a table. in a pub-
a lot of work there!-fantastic.

best thing-no 'bolt on chrome crap'

get them belts covered-i remeber following the build history of the BRITTEN-through letters in those days-they caught some F.O.D. from exposed belts-

welcome to the site and we love your engine-alt shovel ?

No go to Rye sometimes but not the cafe. Get over to Wessons in Horam sometimes. We'v got a poker run comming up in June if you want a good ride out and meet some people. Clink the link to the website below and there are details there. 8)

Oh and was reading the feature on Alfa beast, did you used to work for Semicon in East Grinstead? I work for Vacuum Generators in Hastings.
