The 'look at what I did today' thread

[SPYDOR]

On his third lap on Sunday, Jan was forced onto the grass by a nutter in one of those bonkers Meganes. He managed to save it - just. Another biker passed him, chasing after the Renault. There was a fracas in the car park. A door was damaged. The car driver had left yellow paint on the biker's boot!
Police and stuff.
Apparently, the driver was blaming the bikes for not moving over far enough - in mid bends. Yet there was only a few seconds in it between them on the whole lap, so it was all for nothing.

Glad he was alright. Tricky situation that; they always say riding on track with cars can be very dangerous due to the chances somebody in a car will take who doesn't know their bikes and how they corner. I know plenty of bikers who won't shift over and let faster cars pass as well so problems often stem from both sides.

Loving the picture, especially the ZX10.

Another 400/4 would suit you, sailor, still a very nice machine

That's a nice thought.
I'd probably even manage a 500/550/750, but the 400 still looks the best.
The trouble with me and modern sports bikes is that I can't use them properly (ie: how they were intended to be used), let alone sit on them for very long without getting backache.

In the meantime, and from the sublime to the ridiculous, if anyone's got a C50/70/90 to offload ...

Hope fully my 750 K2 will be up and running by the late winter/ early spring, you're always welcome to come and take a look or size it up whenever you're free and local

get yourself a cruiser or a café racer

Finally after nearly 3 years of ownership, I’ve managed to source and get my Sat-nav working.

The bad bits about having this -

- You can’t really use the Satellite functions as the frequencies are different to the ones that work here.
- The screen always stays on - Battery always being used?
- The Custom Rear Strut brace (Cebul’s group buy) comes in the way of the rear Sat-nav unit meaning it has had to be left floating around int he back.

Now for the good bits -
- The heater controls are fully working meaning I can have the fan on at any position I want
- It’s touch screen meaning its super cool in an old car.
- Something really rare in the car that only few have, that’s got to be worth a few JDM points.

Finally a pictures of it in the car and turned ON.



I've put the OEM radio/cassette player in the car for some extra JDM points!

Just need to source the OEM Type-S gear knob and gaiter and then I will have completed the interior.

Definite jdm points nitin. I always thought this was cool in Simon's lude

[Doggo]

It looks cool. Now you just need to learn Japanese

Ps. I'm still not entirely sure about your knob sack, but it is original and indicative of a man being his own man, so fair do's

More fun with chemicals!


And my makeshift drying line


For some reason one entire roll didn't work out, it was developed correctly as the indicator marks came through but nothing was on the film, I recall one of the cameras behaving oddly and finished the roll before switching to another, turns out the advance mechanism is faulty so it never pulled the film through. Gutted. Should've known better.

Still, 11 x 36EXP rolls developed... now to scan







Those of you with eagle eyes and a good memory will notice I've redone my bathroom - note the poor painting around the light pull I did not do that.

[wurlycorner]

Can't believe you'd stoop so low as blaming your missus for your crap painting...
