Just got back online yesterday after big problems with my ISP....Orange fuckin suck as far as I'm concerned, gettin shot of them as soon as I can, wankers. Over a week with no internet connection and they wouldn't let me cancel and go elsewhere.
Never mind back now (touches wood )
One more week of hell in the sweatshop and I'm off for a fortnight,... Read More
How awesome is this weather??
Had an awesome blast on the bikes tonight and my buddy Dick gave me a shot of his recently restored and modded '84 1100 Katana. Wow what a machine, I've always had a soft spot for 80's Japanese heavy metal, especially Suzis and Kwaks and the Katana has always been a favourite of mine. This was my first ever time... Read More
Got a little more work done on my sleeve this weekend. Some flowers were added and coloured and some maple leaf outlines added too in some blank areas. Love the flowers as they really brighten up the dark tones of the black and purples. The leaves are gonna be autumny colours like golden rusty brown sorta thing which should also add more contrast.... Read More
Thanks for the compliments! I didn't do a thing to that H1 aside from washing it, I bought it as is. The ohlins are definately pricey buggers, that's for sure. It seemed as though my stock rears had lost their dampening altogether. Some owners have found shops that will re-charge the nitrogen for a small fee, it seems to leak out somewhere after 10,000 miles for most folks. You do have a 1200 right? -Because the 1100's actually have schrader(sp?) valves just like tires and can be recharged with air via a regular air compressor. Probably not as good as nitrogen for one reason or another, but folks do report an improvement. I haven't heard anyone say that a shop checked the nitrogen charge and found it intact. How's the riding weather? That arm is going to be awesome! I really should stop buying bike parts and get some ink. It's been 15 years...
Wow, what a night. The downhill mountain-bike World Championship is here again for the weekend and 25,000 people descend on our little town for it every year. The outdoor street party held for them in the town centre last night was excellent with cool live music and everyone dancing in the street and having a great time. Excellent atmosphere and even the cops were in... Read More
