Sitting room Sculpture

As people that know me will be aware I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time in my sitting room over the last year or two, well rode for just over 4 months in the last 17.

But anyway after so long without a bike or the ability to ride one, I was fantasizing about having one in the room, so though up a criteria to keep it real and not some impossible fantasy that could never happen.

1. It’s got to be a bike or at least look like one.
2. You have £5,000 to spend in total.
3. It doesn’t have to even run, it’s just going to be a static sculpture.
4. You could spend part on the bike and part on making it look better, but no more than the total.
5. It would be cleaned, polished or repainted as needed, but that would have to come out of the total.
6. You already had enough room for anything from a Goldwing to a FS1E, so space isn’t an issue.


So what would you have and why ?

Cheers Mark.

A Superdream with a Topbox, a CX500, a Cossack Ural and a selection of large hammers, power drills, a welding torch and a big feck-off chainsaw.

Smashing ugly stuff is FUN!!!

(Anyone found advancing on me with a large hammer following this post will be summarily molested. You have been warned...)

For that much, I reckon I could get 25 Cub 90s, then build a pyramid with them.
