OMG!!! That is fuggin' ace!

Funnily enough, Mike Fry dropped a thought in my ear when he suggested a tribute to Ogri bike. I think wifey would kill me if I started another project, especially as the last one is still underway (and I've been working on that for 3 years :-[)

Thanks (NOT!) for the sleepless nights ahead, filled with scheming ;D

Nah it is for fat arsed Yanks etc - need no padding on the seat as they have it attached... Mind it does have springs and looks leather - maybe as deceiving as a Brooks on a bike?

The seat looks like a cast metal tractor seat of years back and now quite collectable .....so I'm told .

ahhh the UGLY one? Well why didn't you say?  ;) :D

I'd endure the tractor seat 'cause it wouldn't hurt as much as my sense of asthetics would having to look at that abomination of a pretend God knows what, Indian?  ??? I've re-checked btw, it's still not got a good line on it, not even the George Formby tribute bacon slicer on the front guard!!

Mind you, the VX is quite pretty  ;D
