Title: Fish & Chip rack
Post by: Athame57 on June 06, 2025, 11:06:36 AM
Today is National Fish & Chips day.🦈 Will you be helping our fishermen and chippies by indulging? I remember when this was a cheap staple in Britain!
But was it's handiness as a Fish 'n' Rack the force that had manufactures put that ugly rack on the tank of older British bikes?

Not a chippy but fast food and motorbike. The bloke is unhinged but a very very clever engineer.

Quite an entertaining video.

What manual did he use to tension the rear drive chain?

Amateur's!  ;D  Wait until you've tried to deep fry fish and chips 🦈  in a ship at sea during inclement weather and survive to tell the tale!  :o

I can remember going to the chippy on the Honda and putting all the orders in my butty box (on the rack), what a mess when I got back.

Cheers

Bit more training required to make it as a Deliveroo guy Dennis! 😂

The tank racks may make good nutcatchers but they are very useful to fix a tank bag to. No problem with magnets, plastic tanks or damage to your paintwork. 👍

WHAT! it should have an engine?

Not if you nick them off another bike!  ;D  Leave some lazzie-bands behind, an exchange is no theft.  ;)
