aaahhhh
I just went out side to try this "Pocket Dyno" app... for kicks...
and I taped my phone to the glovebox ![]() you click the screen and it gives you a little red,yellow,green countdown, and I was trying to watch it, and the phone was kinda falling off, and the green light came on, I hit the throttle and was wheeeeeelllllieee... Aaahh, phone fell off, I came down... and now I have to go change my underwear. ![]() It's supposed to use the gyro in the phone, but you're supposed to input all kinds of data (which I didn't of course)... but it looks kinda fun... I'll watch the tutorial and see if it's worth another go. I should have kept going I was in a full on great form wheelie ![]() ![]() ![]() Good times.... good time fudge factory ![]() |

![]() ![]() Edit: I moved the helmet so some cyclist could lock up her bike and didn't pay attention where I put it. I then rode to Vader's where I apparently missed his Evil Kineviling by minutes. |

Great pics! I want to go to a race now!
Today I took a frame to the paint shop. Here's hoping we don't find too much filler/too many welds when they get the old paint off! There was no rust under the gas tank, so that's encouraging... Also, my girlfriend wants it painted to match her favorite metallic red nail polish. Seriously? Don't want to go for an original red? Well, whatever. It's her bike, so nail polish color it shall be. |

It's more of a dark red metallic than a candy red. I took the shop a sample swatch. They're going to try to match it and come back to us with some options.
Lots of regulations for the racing bikes, even in Indonesia? I wouldn't have guessed that! Good, though. "Safety first" isn't exactly the guiding principle over here, in my experience. It's usually more like, "Insha'Allah, nothing bad will happen." Cheers! |

Cheers! the regulation in the race that against my not so normal smallie is the hadlebar distance should be 60cm from one side to another and my previous handlebar less then 60cm, i change that with lammy bar but the regulation said the handlebar should be a vespa handlebar so mine is forbidden and since i mod the fork badly to fit the lammy bar i cannot go back to use any vespa bar.. isnt that sucks anyway i am curious to see ur bike resto progress mate, can u post a pics along the way.. would love to see the metalic red in the making good luck with the bike and cheer mate today i put a dry fit to the seat that i weld in order to make it lower last night and test it to the office.. result : still soft and comfy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Quote: at end i will just race in my own mountain No brakes or no lights. Gila! My friend said his dad did it until he crashed one time, and then he never did it again. Do you think this is true? I don't think my friend would lie, but he is the only person who has ever told me about that kind of racing. Have you ever heard about anything like that?

small block
Not a V8, but I got this block I've been waiting for, and I've got some minor mods to do, but it is as I'd hoped... shorter than the mrp... by 25mm... this is a good thing for me, as the carb was sitting so high it was hitting the inside top of the cowl on my super... so I'm happy about that, and it's a better design and really nicely made...
Other than that... just worked and shaved head O).... a little less goes in the bin each year..arrghh Old MRP: [center] ![]() New MMW: [center] ![]() |
