It's tight, but it fits!

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Wicked Uncle Nigel, Apr 11, 2005.

  1. The Blingmobile in the newly extended workshop, that is...

    This evening a little minor fettling was required, so I thought I'd
    check the beast fits in the available work area. And it does. Just.

    http://www.eaton.me.uk/bling/

    Warm, it is. And dry. And well lit.


    (Note to electrical safety Nazis, yes the sockets will get rewired and
    attached to the wall soon. And of *course* I'll be having them checked
    for part P compliance. At vast expense. Oh yes. Honest.)

    I'm saving that treat for when I'm pissed and haven't eaten recently.

  5. In uk.rec.motorcycles, Wicked Uncle Nigel amazed us all with this pearl
    of wisdom:
    It's definitely better in the morning.

    By the Miracle Of The InterWeb Thingy, and courtesy of Fotoman (cheers
    matey!) the photos have been de-Carmichealed, and you can now see stuff
    in them.

    Marvellous.

    Not really... it was more an obscure reference to the fact that, going by
    the first piccie, you apparently have something along the lines of
    Streethawk for a bike, m'lud, Jessie Mach being the name of the lead
    character that rode said machine in said shit series.

    Oh right. You knew that. Fucking weirdo...

    <googles>

    "Street Hawk is an All-Terrain Attack Motorcycle, designed to fight
    urban crime. Its capable of speeds up to 300mph and has immense
    firepower."

    Yeah, that sounds pretty similar.

    Marvellous indeed. Except I'd have a word with the Konkrete Krew -
    some of the walls appear to be some what on the piss. Or is that down
    to the photographer being in a similar state?

    Maybe it's the foundations settling.

    Oh, just had an SMS from Mr Keith Ettle. Something about Le Creuset
    adding a new colour to their portfolio.

    Each section in its own right is perfectly straight. How they were
    bolted together is another matter altogether.

  16. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember Wicked Uncle Nigel
    What's that gauge down on the rh of the Bling fairing? Pedestrian
    counter?

    It's the air suspension pressure gauge. The accompanying five buttons
    are to select front or rear suspension, test the pressure, and increase
    (using the onboard compressor) or decrease the pressure.

    The dial only illuminates, and the buttons are only enabled, when it's
    in neutral. The orange sector indicates the acceptable range for the
    front suspension, the green sector the same for the rear.

    God, I *love* this bike.

    Lawks. My workshop is tidier and has safer looking wiring.

    What were the odds of that...

  20. The amazing thing is the way I didn't notice it at first. It's perfect
