O.K. A bit of fun and hopefully a fund raiser and decent build.

Here is what I have done.

Stage 1, purchased a Malbrough Zapper from my local Meadow by the river in Bidford - On - Avon at a VW show.

Then striped and sold and wombled the parts off it

Then purchase a Mk2 F&F thanks to spike & Stella 😉

Then keep interest and post Aero pro, just to get the tongues wagging, ha , ha

Then make a new head tube, and cut the top off set of forks

Then, rattle can it black, I must say the enamel spray is ace!

Stage 1 complete, part 2 coming soon.

Put the cut off forks into the new head tube and tighten headset , throw in a cheeky add for the Selfie-fish device. A mobile phone holder that screws straight onto your bank stick / rod rest

No adds please, just offer it up to see if it's ok?, wait for more parts to arrive!

Are you making a lightsaber?

AP, is one piece , for now.

I like the light saber comment, but no , nor tandem, nor unicycle, nor taking it to the bacon slicer to fit in the bin.

Harley Burner?
Dual wheel, 3 wheel Burner, Bugatti style or C1 BMW?
Long forks to fit a 52 inch penny farthing wheel?
Simese Burners conjoined at the head post, could be!
Fishing rod holder?
Snooker cue holder?
Rocket launcher burner?
Potato cannon burner, mmmmmmmmm. So tempted now I have thought of that one
Mirror Burner?
5 stage evolution theory burner? From standard Mk1 to AP

Next episode coming soon

i'm very curious to see where this is going $:-\$

Looks like you are making a crazy burner to me. Those bikes that steer left when you turn right and visa versa

jim350i · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2015, 10:35 PM »

Boom, your damn rizzle I am Old school race!

the gears came today, a little bit of conduit work, by my good self. I knew that sparkin would come in useful one day! I'm making it swappable so with 1 spanner I can swap the steery right way to the inverse steery way. So ride there normal mode, get spandoogled Bob howling drunk and then swap and ride back normal

I was going to weld a whole bike on so the backwards person could steer, so when the front facing person said "left" the back person steered left, so the went the correct way!

£1 a go down the local fete £10 for the furthest, should be a good fund raiser. Winner winner chicken dinner

Or put it ouside a corner shop and watch some one try and ride it away

Zapper frame and forks still in tact, and available at a "suggestion" of a price plus postage. Inc new lay back seat post, clamp. I don't want a great deal at all for the Britt made Zapper
