Cool The power of pelican - weirdly funny.

OT warning - This technically contains no technical information

As some of you may know, my passion for Porsche projects overflows into the world of choppers.

For about 3 months I have had that tiny little link at the bottom of the page that takes you to my chopper forum progress post.


I just looked there the other day and HO#Y $hit!! 2,300 views?!!


I guess between here and my visits to Rennlist that link has been clicked once or twice.




Amazing how many people browse this forum and rarely post.




Still can't get over that number.

I am sure something from the 944 will end up on it.

You have to source parts from all sorts of things.

I also am interested in choppers.

Hopefully one day I will be building them from scratch.

I am a member of http://www.chopperweb.net/forum/

Lots of good info on there.

Awesome link Don! Thanks.

My second or third will be from scratch. My welding skills are just getting started so I wanted something to get over the learning curve.


Hey, here's an idea...I could use a 911 headlight! (knew those cars were good for something )

It'd also have to have a belt somewhere that holds the entire thing together just so the rider can constantly worry about it, even though it hardly ever fails.

youd have to make sure that belt tension is correct on the bike...you dont want to bend some valves when it slips or flys off now do ya . A set of Fuch wheels for a bike . I dont know what I would do at the sight of a two sided Fuch wheel....
