Silver Machine
02-08-2007, 07:55 PM
I'm Richard and I'm from the distant mists of the North (North Nottinghamshire).
I shall be taking posession of the wolf in sheep's clothing currently known around these parts under the pseudonym Bobby with his current boss mikehippy666.
Mike's sister is my other half up here in civilisation, hence the connection with you lot down in the South.. so you'll maybe one day see me down there at a meet if my plans come into fruition.
Which brings me nicely onto said plans..
'Bobby' is silver.. hence the name Silver Machine.. Which is a song by one of my favourite bands Hawkwind.. the singer on the song Silver Machine was Lemmy - later of Motorhead fame.. Hence the name change to Lemmy.
Lemmy will be completely gutted and rebuilt and upgraded. The 998 will be replaced with a 1275 (which I'm currently in the process of sourcing in case anyone has a unit lying about). Said 1275 will be breathed on a touch and will have a new Cooper S supercharger strapped on.
That's as far as the plans have got thus far, but it's a vague idea to be working with until I clear the garage ready for his arrival.
So in short..
Hello all.
Rich.
