My bike started 1st go which was awesome I've got a serious fuel leak issue which I've just fixed now that I'm home, my drive chain stretched (or the tensioner gave way) which caused my chain to come off a few times, that kinda ended my night (not to mention I couldn't see jack shit, it was getting dark!). Brakes would be good too. I'll get some V-brakes ASAP.
HEAPS of fun though, felt very naughty.
There were a couple of photoghraphers there. I'll post pics up once they post them live.

Unreal work!
There are a few others out there, but I'm loving the overall look of yours - as someone mentioned earlier, it's got that whole kinda WWII look about it. I challenge you to dress as Indiana Jones (whip 'n all) and take it for a spin through the city!
Edit: can't help mentioning that you should probably get very ordinary brakes - one big panic brake, slip forward on to the springy bits on the end of that contraption you're calling a seat, and it's bye-bye boys!

Slap some BMX pedals on the rear axle for tucking, and getting your knee down.
Mix up some Nitro remote control car fuel into your fuel mix(start with 20%)see how she goes then.
Are the holes for the air to pass through on both sides of the carby, nice and open? Same with the exhaust pipe where it connects to the motor. What's in the muffler? If you pull on the throttle cable outer,(away from carby), can you make it rev harder than the throttle will let you? Or turf the motor, use the running gear, and slap a big chainsaw motor in there.
Wear all black, and get a rice paddy big round straw hat.
Nice job of making something not real cool, look cool

The old catalina race track up here in katoomba would be the ideal track for those bikes, if they could do with the little climbs.
Bring a spade to cut a racing line through any grass growing through the ashphelt(sp?).
