But it also appears to have a second exhaust behind TG's knee.
Squariels had the exhaust ports on the sides not front and back.

Of course it's probably the case that the artist drew an enginey looking thing that fie the available space.

I suspect the engine's a loose copy of a Manx Norton but flattened and fattened up cartoon-style like the rest of the bike. Have you seen the tires? Good luck getting that back one into a Featherbed's swingarm..... :blink:

Now that's a wiring loom.  One wire, from the magneto to the spark plug.
Not even i could get that wrong...

Not much fun riding at night though (depending on your definition of "fun", of course). Mind you, the Joe Lucas electrics of the period were by no means guaranteed to solve that problem....

Which bike was it where the "tickler" card was positioned directly above the magneto, so if you followed the correct starting procedure, you had about a 10% chance of an actual fire every time you started it? The first in-production mod was a drip tray between the carb and the mag...... :blink: Oh, the good old days................

Could have been one of many with the mag mounted behind the barrel.  Which was a sensible position for it as it was out of the weather there.
Hamster will know.  I'll ask him.

My oil in frame Triumph had the electrics mounted directly below the oil filler so they got flooded with castrols finest when it overflowed because you'd topped it up thinking it had leaked the oil when in fact it had wet sumped.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Okay, I've decided that I'm tired of building small and sensible things for the moment, so I should do something big and silly instead. With that in mind.....



Nothing bigger or sillier planned.... :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

My mind is TOTALLY boggled at the thought of the sort of Whiff one could build by using two tank kits, an Albatross DV and a Vostok rocket!  :o :o :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
