ATOMIC COFFEE TIME

Nothing to do with motorbikes but I got a great gift from a friend to say thank you for some work I did.
It is metal and shiny and above all an astounding piece of design from way back
And as another friend rightly pointed out I love it because basically it's a steam engine.
A steam engine that makes coffee, that's what I really love!!

PS Thank you Judy for the gift

LONGSUE- this came in the post 2

                   I did mention I was looking at a back end for Longsue.
Well I now have the makings of a rolling chassis as the front wheel has been joined by a back one!
It's got the scabbiest tyre that should go straight in the bin but it will do for wheeling around the garage!
The brake plate is a bit battered but that's not a problem as it is being replaced

by one of these beauties ,CNC'd 6061 aluminium with SS hardware brake plates ,that hopefully will be winging it's way to me from Seven Sins Choppers in sunny Long Beach, Ca.
Next pay cheque will see an order for head bearings, some chain adjusters and wheel nuts and hey presto one rolling chassis!
