Even I get scared when there's a bike around me. You never know what they are going to do I just stay as far away from them as I can

all you can do is look over your shoulders when changing lanes and indicate more than a second before you do it man... i alsways check by looking over my shoulder, but still the odd bike does get lost... or comes out of f**king nowhere.

To open a can of worms, bicycle riders piss me off. I know they have a right for whatever f**ked up reason to be on the road, but then in peak hour to sit smack bang in the middle of the lane and not let cars pass. I have major urges to run them over

no youve done it....

incoming butthurt!

lol thats awesome pics??

After 4 years finished I finally got it down to my mates bike shop to get the frame powder coated. I will post pics when it's back if anyone is interested. It took 4 years to design and build too, many nights of discussion over bourbon cans... etc... The motor goes through the 9 gears so it's quite potent for it's engine size and only 25kg.

I used an 8 inch downhill rear end, 8 inch triple clamp forks and made the frame to suit out of chromo. Anyone that doesn't know what a downhill bike can do should google search, it is an indestructible dirt bike you can throw easily over a fence. 6 piston Ti Hope brakes can stand it on it's front wheel as I found out the hard way. No expense spared on this one.

Shame only tight arses want to buy motorised bikes... I only sold one down spec'd version. There is much more work out there for performance vehicles. :)

hope brakes are hopeless though.

i'd stick with the old school shitmano 4pots for better braking performance.

and i'd like to see this motorised pushy too.

They were the only floating disk brakes I could buy back then, and with a good sintered pad in them they are easily the best brakes I have ever used. Solid disks would warp in no time at that speed.

You are welcome to take it for a spin if you like. Break it you bought it. :P

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
