How I spent my weekend

Still trying to get myself back on that rigid shovel, so I rode The Banshee to the shop Friday and made a pile of mock-up parts - old, beat-to-hell stuff I can use to test my latest theory. Saturday morning (wet, miserable) I took the pickup and picked 'em all up. Last night I installed 'em all. After some household stuff this AM, and visits to two hospitalized friends, I threw some gas in the one-sided fatbob this afternoon and fired up The Bitch.

It's still not right - that pogo-stick is wore-out and has no cush left to it, and I'll need an old cop-style tractor seat instead of that old-time buddy saddle - but I think I'm on to something! Kinda liking that brilliant red tank, too! Might have to stick with that if this little project works.
