No. Zac’s bike was a proper tarts handbag. Green hotrod flame paint and every bit of bolt on bling available.

Photo bucket is the issue. There are and there were images.

Thanks Jonzi & Albie [I think...?], that's more spectacular than Slob's description suggested.

Well a majority thought that it was the best - two years in a row

Never overestimate the opinion of the majority.

Theresa May: note.

Ah yes, the knuckle dusters.
You drill holes in your frame to mount unnecessary extra weight, add more nooks and crannies to clean, and display your aggression in a tasteless way.
The nitrous conversion was fairly pointless too, in my opinion.
The real irony was that Dukedesmo's excellent build was a competitor that year, and should have won by a hundred twisty country miles.
But unfortunately, a group of us were lunching at the pub down the road and missed the vote.

I hate to bitch about anybody's build but in this case the record does not accurately reflect the view of any club member that I've spoken to.

Thanks for finding the pics of "Nitrous"... Tried to form an opinion of the "bike" but nothing happened in my head?

I found this on the same reel and take it to be He11cat's "Hector" with "Stella" in orange in the background?
