That looks like great fun!

My pic for today is the new bike I bought, a GSX-R1000 K9. I'll do a proper thread once I've collected it and got some better pictures.

My mate Jon at work has the same bike in the same colours and is obsessed with it! Does look very cool

Before and after. Had an afternoon in the garage with a filthy Velocette in bits, a beer and a tube of Autosol. Sounds like the start of a joke

That looks great - great colour scheme too. You are going to have a lot of fun on that bad boy!

Great choice, find out if the cat has been removed, makes a huge difference, for a sportsbike, they are very comfy as well..

...and how are Sirs finger tips now?

Ive done the opposite the afternoon, put a more OE finish to some highly polished fork legs using scotchbrite pads and GT85, I should have took a pic..

Thanks - there are some great guys doing good videos out there, but for Vintage and modern Tamiyas which are my bag, Matteo RC is the man for videos https://www.youtube.com/user/Matteomeier

Got this 2016 Husqvarna TE250 the other week - real 2 stroke mayhem - and great fun green laning - here's a pic of it nice and clean - and here's a burst from the go-pro when my ambition exceeded my talent and i managed to test the efficiency of my crash helmet.

Just reminded me of the Midnight Pumpkin I had a few years back, it was a chrome special edition re-make. I managed to melt the back of the body by leaving it over the heat vent on the back of the cooker!

I'm still proud of the fact I managed a wheelie donut with it, 1 full donut then as it was coming out of the slide it picked up the front wheels and fked off

I want another RC car now

They are a lot of fun! The lunchbox/Pumpkin chassis is an ill handler, but offers endless fun once you uprate the shocks. I've thinned my collection from a peak of 35+ Tamiyas down to about 12 now, but I still have a new build box art, re-released Lunchbox and an original Vintage new build Midnight Pumpkin.

Lovely! I bought a 2105 FC250 a month ago (the four stroke version). I'm doing my first enduro on Sunday....
