I'll just add this, not really hack related, but more to the above post. The Brit bikes are all over the MiddleEast (I wonder why?) buried where you wouldn't believe. I would have liked to have found these guys http://www.colston.org/cairobikes.html, but never had the time and I got over my BSA thing. I don't know if cruising around Cairo right now is quite the best thing to be doing for a Westerner at the moment.

Talk about the original adventure bikes! Grab what you can and go see the world!

Ps. I was joking around with that "I wonder why" remark. General Allenby left a lasting impression, didn't he. The British Empire extended far and wide, more than I think most people realise, but that is a discussion for another forum...

Nice job with the stripe! Really pulls it together. Looks like a very capable dual sport rig.

this is the ultimate adventure bike,especially when you are trying to keep it on the road

2wd drive all the time,no head wobble, and will stomp a urals guts out

plus it doesnt cost 15 thousand dollars..

This old (1967?) Austin Healey 3000 MK III has been sitting in the lot where my Dad lives for quite a while. Looks to have been driven straight from the "barn".
My 96+ year old Dad is still kick'in my ass at cribbage.

Nice Fall day in MT. .....supposed to have a chance of snow on wed. night.

I'd kill for an outfit with that sort of look.

The body under construction. This body has a larger tail than many of the American Classic bodies we have done and an opening trunk
for more storage.

About ready for the initial run

Some details. Note that the under cowl glove box has become a very popular addition. Quite handy and lockable.
Windshield is easily removed.

My little leaning sidecar project-

The "HacKayak"

Does great on and off-road so far. Still have to finish the floor, add some more bracing and possibly add another pivot point. I may cut part of the nose off also, as I won't have people in it. Only my dog and gear. I'm going to add a fog light as well. I ran out of shield gas last night just after I added in the last absolutely necessary gusset. Good timing.

That is really cool.

It looks like it does not come off for waterborne sorts of miscreant behavior? I was talking to a kayaking buddy of mine about doing something similar, but with a removable tub that is still river-worthy. :3

Ahh, yes. Unfortunately mine does not do that. However, I thought about possibly building a platform with a curved frame that you could easily strap a kayak into. As for this design, I'll be coming up with a means of strapping my functional kayak and mountainbike to it. :)
