"assembled with screws and rivets" is better than the staple guns most use now-a-days.

Thanks Sten...you're right.
Thanks Franey...yep it's kind'a OK
I'm in the process of putting thing back to the seventies style:
a symphony in mint-green, brown and orange.
I love it...everybody else will probably hate it.
Well, this MoHo is not for 'everybody'...it's for me, ain't it !?

.-)

Took the Spongemobile,on it's first real tour / test drive.
Up the mountains between Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
Beautiful !



Performed faultlessly, didn't miss a beat:
..oil-pressure way up
..voltage/charging way up
..radiator temperature way down ( 1/4 to somewhat under 1/2 up the scale)
..fuel-meter.....erh.....declining....fastlike...who cares
when this thing looks so cool and SOUNDS so good:

CLICK

..and gas is down to 2.93 here.

Ouuups: wrong forum...this is about LandRacing.
Sorry 'bout that !

It looks good.  You can put your BSA A-10 in it and use the bike for running errands and short trips.  That will save gas.

It'd look better if you can get the grafetti off the upper sides between the windows.

Hey Lars, take a photo of the mural, get it framed and hang it in the crapper. Then spray over it...I never, ever got murals....could be worse, but not much.

Otherwise I love that rig.......Stainless's mate John-boy will be lusting after it....he showed me around his new bus at speedweek, "are you into busses?" he asked me.........

You know, I'd never really even thought about them that much, positively. Being made to stand at the front of our school bus at 12 with one of the seniors holding me in a hammerlock is a strong memory.....I had to do the howls in "Werewolves of London" ,then when the song finished the bus driver said " I've had enough of you you smartarse, sit down the back"......sitting down the back meant sitting with the girls, that wasn't a positive either....it meant Sue Ellen Rice my unhinged next door neighbour (who is probably in jail now) could hold me by the hair and if I even spoke the driver would threaten me with being thrown off, we were the only bus on our route....12 miles home.

Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

Looks magnificent Lars!!    If I can give you a hint for the gas gauge.  Take a little blob of glue and glue the needle on full.  Otherwise it tends to drop faster than my speed.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

Lars, the November 2011 "Cycle Source" issue is on the newsstands.  It is their Salt Flats Edition.  Guess who has an entire article written about him?

Some folks from here have emailed me to ask how things going
and inquire about my absence
+ there's a few email I haven't answered.
Please accept my apologies.


Explanation:
my head has exploded.

Long story ( very ) short:
...got into an argument with my workshop landlord
via email while still in the US.
He claimed I hadn't paid my rent. Said he'd kick me out.
I send him screenshots from my web-bank with the money transfer.

..next thing I hear from my neighbors
that there's a bunch of guys loading all my stuff from the workshop on to a truck

..come home to Denmark a few days later.
Completely whacked from jet-lag and lack of sleep.
Drives up to my house.
All my stuff is dumped on the front-lawn.
Wet, in semi-water-dissolved cardboard boxes.
I freaked......seriously completely freaked.

..my BSA and the supercharged Honda ( and my TIG welder and some other stuff )
are missing

..the sh!tfacedlooneymotherf**kingbastard have stolen them and won't 'give' them back
till I pay him ( the equivalent of ) $20.000.- ( twenty-thousand )
for "damages" to the workshop .....WTF ????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( that I completely renovated out of my own pocket ..new walls with insulation...new insulated floor..etc. )
The claim of cource is something he pulled out of that place where the sun don't shine.

...according to my lawyer and a source in the police
apparently the only way to "solve" this
is to be dragged through a court case to the tune of $400 pr. hour (!) to the lawyer
which will probably take a year or so.
This is absolutely freaking outragerous but
the cops will regard it as a 'private' financial dispute.


I have never ever ever been so mindblowingly frustrated, devastated, agitated and indescribably
raving angry.
Just writhing this makes my hands shake with anger....seriously.

Oh, Lars -- I'm so sorry to hear what's happened to you.  Words cannot convey the frustration that you're suffering, and all I can do is offer the best thoughts and condolences possible from all of us racers.  What has happened to you is likely the absolute worst that could befall any racers.

Soldier on, sir!

Lars,

I am so sorry to hear of your misfortune. I wish you the best getting your property back.

Lars,
Your landlord is a P.O.S., I'd like to take him fishing  :evil:.
I hope things get set right.
Keep us updated, we care.

He broke the lease by evicting you, even though your rent was paid up.

I'd be looking for an opinion from another Lawyer.
Unless the lease specified no renovations, you should stand a chance.
I guess the answer is "a Secret" .
