Thank's Dean ...Hope you are well Happy New Year....

Thanks for watching Keith... the bike was one hand built by Hidden-Nation for my youngest sons wife many years ago and a family keep-sake... but thanks for your comment...

Gerry...The large tubes make for a more stable frame with less twisting, also being of thinner gauge tube saves weight, also has the advantage of being able to carry the engine oil within the frame tubes...

Derek... It is a shame you live so far away, or yes we could build you an Otter frame... Glad you like the idea anyway... Thank's...

Thank's Mike, there seems like interest in these little vids already, so will do some more I have 8,000 + trials photos on this computer so should be no trouble and I have more being taken daily...

Hi Eric... We use Trials Tyres (Tires) for the sport of Motorcycle Observed Trials, and Nobblies on Old Scrambles and Moto-Cross bikes...

Hi Gary.. there are several hubs that are available to fit and be a good job on a Metisse. The ones that are very popular are front AMC full width hubs IE, AJS Matchless and Triumph Adventurer hubs both back and front and "Crinkle cut " BSA QD Gold Star type hubs for the rear... Hope this helps you...

@@charliepres Thanks for the reply👍

Paul we are still considering the opptions, we may build some frame kits...when we have time later...

Richard 11-12 gear box 58-60 rear wheel...we have used lower at times...

@@charliepres Thanks for the speedy reply

Darrin... In the turmoil that this world is, it was nice for three creatures on the planet to just take in the peacefulness of those few minuets, and it did feel very peaceful...in fact four hours for the little fox...

Hi Richard ...We have tried several carbs and Inlet manifold options but have got a good VM22 on it now... Brian built a full volume air-box that sits under the Tank cover as the fuel is carried in the frame... This seems to help the airflow considerably ... But we are still learning after four years...

@@charliepres Hi any chance you can send me carb settings (jets & needle) thanks for any help you can give

Mike I think you should build one as a project later Add a Mini-Otter to the collection....Details on the site...

Yes thought I better use that photo of the great man and friend...

James, The Mini-Otter motorcycle brand name is registered with the DVLA here in the UK , and there have been two of the little bikes registered in the Isle Of Man and through the DVLA. We have now built seven frames and these all are being built into complete machines... But we are still undecided whether to do a production run of machines, we will see what happens in the Spring of 2022...

Adrian there is not a need for a sump guard only for engine protection from rocks, and no need for bottom frame rails as the engine becomes a structural element being triangular mounted using a mounting on the top tube to the cylinder head, this also stops engine vibration...

I like the music I don't like that be Pizza joke junk motorcycle busey now let's hear the music forget the junk BSA

Darrin It took me to a place in my mind I was not expecting at that time...

Thank you for replying Charlie. I hope you are well and enjoying life. I look at the night sky and thank whatever it is for being here.

Hi Joe, It was for November in a part of London.

Mike I have all the drawings , so this could be a project for the future? I could send a frame with ParcelForce, If you keep "Spot-T-D" on his lead...

Hi Gary... I am using the Modified Bantam frame I did a few years back.. but now need to get it built up over the next few weeks, as I need to try a NEW cylinder head on the bike and get it tested . So over the next few weeks we will do a weeks video on the build up.. OK thanks for the comment...
