Call me Crazy but this is my Summer Project

[Kenneth S (222)]

Armoured excellance.... some nice yellow,gold and blue and a BIG "S" down the sides and she's done   

Hey VMX247, 'Armoured Excellence' I like that, it has a good ring to it. I am guessing you mean Suzuki but the Gold has thrown me. Am I missing something obvious? I was thinking of calling it 'The Dream Machine' as in 'The Power of Dreams'. I'm a Honda man through and through in case it wasn't obvious. My little guy loves his Green Mean machines so he wants to call it 'The Mean Dream Machine'. At the moment I just want to call it 'Finished'. While it has been an enjoyable project, 9 months is long enough and its time to enjoy it.

The S is for Steam I guess 

"The Dream Steam Machine" maybe
"The Power of Dreams Steam" even

Did you get that new radiator yet?

[Ando]

YES! "The Steam Float" 

[Mick D]

Otherwise, my target for it's maiden voyage is the first Heaven round 2012.

Voyage?
Voyage?

well whack a flu through the turret for that cooker you reckon you are putting in it and call it "Steamboat".



There is no mention of Fridge or allocated space for lubrication esky
WTF do you intend to hang onto if the boat don't float

[Kenneth S (222)]

Ah yes, funny boys, I set myself up for that one didn't I?

Yes Monty, I bought a new all aluminium set to match the Steam Float. They look very trick and shiny.

I am not going to shake this steam thing too easy am I? Yes Mick it is all planned, fridge, lounge, satellite dish, TV.....it might be 5 years time before I get it done but it is planned.

Well you have been building and cultivating the Image for so many meetings that it is becoming a bit like OLD faithful in Yellowstone National Park

You may have notice I have mastered increasing font size and bolding just today

Glad to hear the new radiators are all under control

Have to say that when the trailer is finished it will give Ted and his rig a bit of trailer envy it needs a BBQ

[Ando]

I reckon the "Steam Float" may also need a set of oversized radiators 

[VMX247]

Don't you listen to any of there jealous nonsense Kenneth KJ Swan, even the yanks die to have something like this to take too event. 
Whatever stickers you put on her sides, she'll look the best....Go For It

It could be a hell of a lot worse Ken It is not like you flipped it on the start-line or fell of it on the way to scrutineering

Yes Mick it is all planned, fridge, lounge, satellite dish, TV.....it might be 5 years time before I get it done but it is planned.

Unreal Ken, sounds like you better get a mat and a door-bell as well

Beside the entrance door there? Is that one of those of those servery opening awning thingies where we will be able to buy a burger, hot dog or a steamed dim Sim. You are an asset to the club Ken. Bring on the opening Gala

Was that you who did the start line flip out? Mick you are a legend!! Give me time, I'm only just warming up, I might very well end up joining you in some start line antics

Already have the mat, it says "Welcome to Honda Riders only" looking for a doorbell that has a sexy sultry female voice, cry out "Honda Riders are big an tough" when you press it, but there aren't many on eBay. Funny you should ask about the "servery opening awning thingy", that is exactly what it is. The trailer is going to double as an event merchandise trailer for my business and possibly to sell food at events as well. I am going to have to get a guard dog or a guard snake or something though for race meetings, as I have already heard rumblings from a committee member who rides half a dozen Montessas and at times looks like the creature from the black lagoon, but I'm not mentioning who that is, about commandeering it to become the committee race headquarters

No Mick did the lets crash spectacularly while wheeling the bike to the scrutineers line

Which goes with a heap of other memorable moments buy various luminaries like - let’s look like a mud monster behind the start line , let’s blow our Monty up and throw a hissy fit , let's flip at the start line and run behind our bike for 25m (recorded in full colour - and no not me ), let’s sleep through sign on - scrutineering - riders brief and practice (again not me - YET).

What about lets drive our fifth wheel camper around the track at 9:30pm  , Lets set fire to our 125 KTM and then start the next race with the smouldering remains  .

You mentioned the snake thing. Who have you been talking to The Perry Team said they would never mention that again

God we get some laughs

The race control thing sound perrrrrrrrrrrfect!!!

MONTESSAS  Do you have Hondddas

Don't get me started on bad spelling Monty

After spending every spare hour I could eek out over the last 9 months, well over 400 hours, no access to a guillotine so all panels were hand cut with a circular saw fitted with a metal cutting blade and finished by hand with a bastard file and wet n dry, all rivets popped by hand with my $12 Bunnings special pop rivet gun (who needs front brake hand strength training when you have 500+ rivets to hand pop!), a project made to a standard, not a deadline, over engineered to be handed down through the generations, I am almost ready to smash a bottle of something over its bow, christen it and put this thing on the road (oh, and fit out the interior of course, but that can happen in due course)

Although the current suggestions of 'the Steam Float or Boat' , 'the Steam Machine', 'the Voyager' are very clever and amusing, I am looking for a name even better than those. One that has oomph. A name that inspires. Something that has the same ring as 'the Titanic' but not with a similar demise I hope.

So with in-trepidation, I open this task up to the creative juices of this forum and ask for your suggestions. Be Kind!!
