Oh, I dunno. Wouldn't I get a consideration for being beaten into second place Part Faired by three different riders in three years? And the, way this season's been going so far, missing out on a full 1000-point event through a combination of olb but outrageously fast bike designers, interloping Dutchmen, EVIL drag races and, for all I know yet, the return of P++l C+ll+nd+r. CHIZ, and CHIZ agane.

Next year I have considered buying a Birkenstock comet and going partly faired.

Aren't Birkenstocks about a squillion pounds each?

About £6.8k last time I checked
It's either that for my next bike or a Trisled avatar which after shipping etc will cost about the same.

I think I saw in some of the old newsletters some trophy awards ceremonies for the different classes at year end? I think the homebuilder trophy was a bike made out of wound wire. Pretty cool looking. |
I made the homebuilders trophy. It's the one like a little silver Zeppelin. I also made the junior, ladies and arm powered trophies. I think the wire one is probably unfaired. I think Tina Brandenburg made it. We also have a newcomers trophy and 'The Unfortunate Scotsman' trophy. If he wasn't winning I might suggest Mike B. for that one. Overheating bearings is certainly unusual. |
The wire-wound SWB-shaped trophy is the Unfortunate Scotsman Trophy.
