Middle. Will look sex behind the tank. I even took a pol: me, myself and I all agree.

More photos.

Also, random de-railment. Read Wanted (As in the comic for the motion picture being released on thursday), and it was awesome.
Movie would be cool, except they deviated too much from the comic, and now I know what it could have been, it'll suck...

Kinda like Freelancer was a good game, but if you knew the history behind it, you were just left underwhelmed...

C'mon, surely you can at least fit the engine side covers in to give em a polish or something? Maybe a wheel if you got decent sized luggage

AMIRITEGUISE???

Weapon_X · 29-07-2008, 07:20 AM

i went for the middle one. and who's going to give a sweet girl a yellow on her pretty bike?

browca04 · 29-07-2008, 09:01 AM

They're called the police.

They're ruthless cunts when it comes to making your life just enough of an inconvenience that you want to melt them with mental powers, but not actually stab them in the face...

This is a bit after-the-event, but if you need to contact people in Germany in their own language, I can translate it for you.

I used to be fluent - not any more, haven't really practised for a few years now - but I'm still pretty bloody good.

Weapon_X · 30-07-2008, 12:06 PM

no shit.
that looks like something you would wear on ya head

Weapon_X · 31-07-2008, 07:13 AM

it's the only hat looking device i have seen with a built in fibreglass mullet, just wrap that baby in foil!!!!!

frame will be stripped clean and tidied by the end of the weekend hopefully.

Weapon_X · 13-08-2008, 12:17 PM

alright after reading Kezza's build and seeing the wheels powder coated i think i will be getting that done. can you get them to just powder coat the center and leave the lips polished? and if i want them to do the frame and swingarm, do i have to replace all bearings and the like?

rims most likely black with polished lip. same with frame.

Weapon_X · 29-08-2008, 04:38 PM

tank, tail and side panels have been dropped off at the painters

as soon as i can download some progress photos i'll put them up!

and maybe if i get some through from the painter i can put those up too!

pipes and all ancilliares will be fitted this week then when i get back last things to do will be to fit the painted gear and take it for a test ride
