'nother bike added to the collection

[martinka]

I really ought to be making boxes out of this old plywood, for when we move house.

 

[gilljc]

that looks realiy good, you can move house in cardboard or plastic boxes
Think you may have just answered one of the questions I am about to ask

 

[martinka]

I've got lots of rubbish plywood, Gill, and I'm unlikely to end up with a garage as big as the one I have at the moment. We are actually looking for a large garage with small house attached.

We are hoping for somewhere not as cold, wet and windy as Galloway, Brian. We want to stay fairly local, probably within 30 miles of where we are now. Trouble is, most of West Yorkshire seems to be a flood plain these days, except where we are at the moment.

Depends if i can come up with a pattern, Steve. What year and engine?

Hi Martin
It's a z-x 10 1000cc that's all I know, he also has a 600 that he races too, if you can't make a pattern, no worries..

 

[martinka]

I made a pattern, Steve, and had a go at cutting it from cheap plywood. I began opening up the detail with a spiral blade, but that was a mistake, so i didn't bother finishing it. On reflection, I think some of the detail might be better burnt in. It's got promise, but I've given up for the time being, it's too cold in my garage, and the gas heater has finally packed up today. You are welcome to the pattern if you would like to cut it yourself.

 

[stevebuk]

Yes please Martin , as you say it's got promise, thank you..

On its way, Steve.
