Princess-STILL chainsaw powered!!! Front wheel drive

Just whant to show you guys my new toy
Its a 1970s BSA ladys bike with a STILL MS260 engine in the front just like those old freench mopeds called Solex
My intension was to make a nice old looking bike that looked like it just came out of factory ready for a granny
The final product was a well balanced front wheel powered bike that was really easy to ride and also the most confortable i have even rode.
the bike was found in the midle of no where in a field in my friends farm and he lives there for a while but dosent remember since when it was left there do it was a fairly long time. The frame was rusted as **** and it as taken my days of work to get it so be perfectly flat and rust free. The wheel where where just dead had to replace to inner tubes and tires but i managed to find ones that where the same as the factory one.
The handle bar was also in bad shape including all the cables and bearings.
So after something like 1 month is back in the road better than it has even been before! It is illegal over here in the UK but i never used the engine in the road anyway
So what do you think should I add to it?
In my list there is the kill switch, a small support bracket to hold the right side of the fuel tank and the fenders but there where in so bad shape that its taking me to long to do it.
Hope you like it and sorry for the small book that i have written
OHHH and by the way her name is Princess

I use to have 2 Velo-Solex bikes (Wish I hadn't sold them). It looks just like them except, no handle to engage and disengage the motor on the front wheel. Very KOOL!

I`m the WINNER!

Came back from it yesterday but was way to tired to go on the computer so here it goes today
I went to this enginering competetion yesterday and won the first price for most well made machine!
Got 50 pounds as a small price (Im in the UK) and a tropy and if someone gets intrested in me they will sponsor me in University and College!
Not bad for a bike that toke me 1 month to complet and 10 Pounds

if you get an engineering education out of that bike that is absolutely fantastic!!!

Congratulations on a very lovely build.

whats Next now?

Thanks give me vtec!
I still have next years competition to go trou and it will probably be harder because people are going to be a little bit more competitive but I have the talent and the effort to put into it
As anyone got any idea in what should I build for next year?
Maybe another bike but now with my homemade 2 stroke engine from an air compressor pump? (YES IT DOES WORK! and the pump was originally from the 30s, and the best of all is sounds like a banshee!)

I think you should build it anyways regardless if you put it in a competition or not.

Videos or pics would be great.
