Oops the spanner can't come off.
Wait sec, the pin's stuck.
Nut's tightened against it.
Ah crap, it's a ratchet spanner.
Try the opposite end.
Axle's not turning.
Oh, put a pin in other side first.
Wow that was stupid.
Brain freeze

Added

Final Draft
My first ground-up build is finally done
Thanks go to brother Renshaw for the parts and Tony for mentoring me
Goodyear Grasshopper
Not just the tyre of choice for hardcore choppers but they were used by Harley on some of their dirt-tracker bikes. Yes sir, damn good looking tyre.
I managed to get two, NOS for £30 each. Booya!
3.00 x 21
4.00x19
Test Ride
The master arrived to give the carb a tune up
Test rides were impressive, motor very responsive. Steering great, the bike wants to righten back up and so feels very stable. Kinda the opposite of a long forked flip-flop job. Rigid forks aren't as bouncy as the haters might have thought.
It rained
The Birth
The Magura throttle is a pull throttle so we made a little lever arm to flip reverse it. Although the arm isn't really that little at the moment. But the different holes will allow a choice of throttle response and then it can be cut down.
That'll do, pig.
Poor man's generator
Decided to see if the thing might fire. Tony wasn't there so I was kinda bricking it.
I actually forgot to prime it but on the third kick there was a splutter from the engine
4th kick
Guess who taught himself to weld? Kids, set your flame right, not too much oxygen and don't destroy it with an angle grinder when you can use a file.
Fifth kick muddafucka!
