DX100 is now running......injury rehab means I wont be able to do the moped melee this year so I'm thinking of putting this up for sale soon.  Still a few things need doing on it first so will decide how complete/going it needs to be before putting it on the market.

 

Oh really.........

Some postie goodness from last few days...
 

Nice shit, on a similar note, watched this last night:

Now I have an urge to replace my BMW G310GS (currently for sale - tell your friends) for a clanger of a 1970s bike lol

@governorsam

Ever heard/seen this before?

I hadn't ever heard of this until the other day.

Meant to stop this:

Wish I got blown off on the road more often.

Offer $100 

Then I'll give you $120 for it. 

Instant profit. 

Had made some more progress on the stug, getting closer to the pointy end of construction. 

Does anyone have any decent references / guides (online or books) for weathering and diorama construction? Want to have a tilt at it and get my toes in the water as it were. Cheers

I've heard about these, need to do more research to see what my next steps are.

Currently rocking after market pipes which have been mapped, but thinking of reverting back to stock (came with bike), but will need to remap to stock. I see tuneecu is the tool mostly used, but looks like a dog.

Fuck I forgotten how much I love these 865cc Triumph engines, much happy.

Much more room in the shed now though.

Got a couple of bikes on my watchlist, might have one in my ownership soon, so anyone keen to buy a G310GS (OS deals), or know anyone who would be interested? Cheers

I am running Manawatu to Akl on 4th January so could help with freight for a donation to the fuel cause!

Also I bought another bike. Is this how it starts?

About to pull the trigger on a '08 Bonnie, press F for my wallet.

Buy it. 790s have better cams.

have been thrashing the shit out of mine for about 10 years.

 

Nice, will look further into it. Have got a few on my list, with a lot in my price range being the mag wheeled Bonnie (which I did own previously), but I think I'm leaning more towards the T100 and RE Interceptors with wire wheels etc

How many XL? 

 

There's a Merlin I think listed for about 350 under motorcycle gear as well

 

 

Single L historically, but could be XL depending on the manufacturer. Just so swole, bro. 

What could go wrong? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/cruiser/triumph/listing/4360495323

Have never ridden a 790 Bonnie, but have owned a 865cc carb'd Scrambler and that was fine (though was brand new). 

@governorsam you have a 790 don't you? general thoughts on them? (internet seems to think they're pretty solid).

Thanks buddy, but not gonna fit that lol.

Also because I'm making so much progress on the stug, i need more work...

I saw this thread heading to the bottom of the page, thought I'd step in. Making time to do this HST but it's a fighter. It's a nice kit, but the instructions are a bit vague here &there. As is the amount of parts & general design. I'm not enough of foamer to know which old molds were adapted for this kit from where or when, but they left some bits out I reckon. 

Suspension all went together a treat, except for the drive sprockets. Zero location points what so ever. just glue & hope I s'pose, but if I'd done that they'd have fallen off.

WTF ?

Bit of sprue & some stuff out of the spares box ( recoil dampers for the anti-aircraft version of the Flak 88 if I recall) & axles appear.

Glued them in most carefully & won. Started building up the hull. For a change I'm going to paint it all when finished.

Except for the engine.

Gonna have another stab at the weekend

/@Indiana_Jones again, geht es dem Stug gut ?

 

Stop holding me to account!

/been fucked by work so no progress lately =(
