Part of me wishes you'd put the extra effort in and got them out the freezer and cooked a waffle on purpose just to post that photo.

Maybe best to throw a few frozen waffles down, not sure if they'll offer much traction once defrosted and cooked! Might be a bit too soft.

Points for effort if you took it yourself.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I think Dan has already proved the potatoes versatility as a Suzuki accessory. Maybe he knows something about spuds we don't?

mine are 50mm thick but i picked them up for £11 just down the road from me on ebay.
but it was in one long length when i got it so i used a hack saw to cut them down and trim them to what i wanted then used a flap disc on a grinder to clean them up.
only used them once so far but always nice to have just incase.

Next step is surely going to be to make one that runs on moonshine?

Ha ha, doubt it. He'd be drinking it too quickly himself. When ever i see him he ends up with a cider in his hand.

Any thing i should look out for when buying a set?

Particular brands? Materials? Prices? Length? Thickness?

Presume something about as wide as my tires? Rated to 500kg / 750kg a board?

No idea on this so looking for a bit of advice / guidance.

Cheers

I have some Jordi :brows:
