Like the track bike, JP, brings back memories, my track and road bikes were only Reynolds 531 tubing, which was pretty schmick in it's day.  Only ride now to keep up a bit of fitness, finally had to get a new set of shoes and clipless pedals after 10 years hard use, the whole bottom plate had nearly come off on one of them.  Carbon fibre jobbies can certainly guzzle the $'s.  Len

holey cr*p wiggy, literally.Glad you are on a the come straight.
The bike does look cool JP, looks fast even standing still. That's sure to eat up more $$$ than a boat does.
 
Speaking of which, I think nature is telling me I need to use it more...

Hey guys, good to see a bit of action on here. I have spent countless hours on CFF over the years and yes, the special interest pages on facebook have huge following now. I had joined many fb pages to the point where the news feed was just car related and nothing from my friends or family so had to delete a lot of pages. It's information overload, and I should really spend a lot less time on it.
My MK2 project is almost finished. Gets wired next weekend and tuned soon after. Will be close to 300whp.
Quite a lot of repairs & maintenance done with our house. New front & rear decks, fresh exterior paint.
When I feel like burning off some energy I hop on my wheelie machine- a 29" Big Ripper.  I can wheelie for about 1km on this but still learning to coast down hills standing on back pegs , great fun :D

nice one, a BMX for grown ups, i'm envious!
I've still got 3 bmx's in storage (no garage at the moment, just about to start a new one), including a set of Skyway knock offs. The number of dudes who wanted to buy it the last time I went to the local swap meet. The prices of old school gear is going nuts, nearly as good an investment as a mk1.
We had a school campus we had to change across to midday, back in high school. A group of us used to mono the whole way, including up and down a hill.
Aahh the old days of layback seat poles, double goosenecks and tuffs.
Youngsters don't know what they missed out on... (queue Kylie and Nicole at the local track)
 

Another one for the bike fans, this is my Indi 500 Oddball Dragster. I built a few of these as a cheap hobby when I first bought the house. Matches the TD Cortina too
Cheers Drew.

I also play with old bikes , also race bmx along with my son.17 bikes in total including 2 retro racers and 3 normal race bikes.Also play with model train with my youngest son.

I've found another project that I really didn't need. I've always wanted a 60 and a mate turned up a deal too good to turn down. Had been sitting for a while out near the coast, so all was a bit cruddy, but no major rust in it.

 
Tidy up and running it as my daily on free left over jet fuel from a mate.


 
And then the good wife wanted to get me a roof and bonnet paint for xmas. But that has gotten well out of hand and we're doing the whole bloody lot!!

 

That old girl is pretty tidy for a 60 series, You're running it on JetA1??Avtur?  had no idea you could run that stuff in a diesel motor !!  Len

I'm not 100% sure what the fuel is. My mate gets it out of older style Lear Jets. Once its drained for maintenance they can't put it back in. He's told me to mix in a bit of 2 stroke oil and some vege oil with each fill. Doesn't make the old 2H any faster though!
