I went down to the river tonight

Albie · 21-05-2010, 06:40 PM

Well it was a nice evening to just get on the bike. Was going to go a take some pics outside Jools Hollands Castle near me at Cooling but I went down to Upnor by the River Medway and took some pics.
Now the evenings are light please go and take some great photos of your bikes for the next calendar. How about some sunsets .

How do you like my carbon screen btw. Its actually carbon vinyl but is very flexible. Thanks to Ryan who got me some.

Nice photos Albie.

I've used the 3M carbon sheet as a wrap on my Z - I've done a number of the panels but gave up with the tank as the curves are too compounded and even with the heat gun the sheet won't shrink enough, cutting is also not an option as the weave won't flow true. According to the variuos importers etc. I'm the first person to do a bike wrap in the stuff in France - fame at last

I would post some photos but as it's a Kwaka I don't really want to lower the tone on here...

That's still a terrific paint job

Thanks. I still wish I had a red framed one like yours though. Trouble is they wanted full price for a red one.

I wonder when they will make a dark screen. Somebody just needs to tip some black granules in the injection moulding machine. Simples.

I've been after a replacement black screen for a year and a half!

2 reasons why it cant go in calendar.

1/ It was in it this year and 2/ your rear wheel has brake dust on it and its very dirty.

Other than that its a cracking bike and looks as good as they day I rebuilt her.

You really like your bike dont you.

Great pics now wheres Chris's

uksurfer · 21-05-2010, 08:29 PM

Dirty wheel? thats Stuarts fault for not giving me my paddock stand back!

nothing wrong with XJ... I have an older divvy 600 its lovely!

Everywhere I park my bike for a photo there seems to be a wheelie bin..
I swear its not there when I go to take the shot ....
I think they are darleks .. they wait fro you to get the shot you want and then they trundle in.. or they are invisible and only appear when you look at the shots later...
