Offerings to the Gods..

[bugjuice]

Just a spin off, of JSG's thread about how he managed to do such a decent job of his engine, what have you go on display where ever, in offerings to the Gods of two (and sometimes one) wheel?

I've got the keys and rotors to my old CBR250RR
hanging on the bedroom wall, all I have left of it after Postie aniliated it. Nothing was salvaged, and I wasn't allowed to take anything off it, cos the assesor hadn't seen it. So I took the keys.. The rotors are just old ones that I had to replace, but I still have them..

A nail
That went into my back tyre and I rode for about 30k's with it stuck in, getting squishier and squishier. I was meant to have picked up a new tyre, which it would have punctured, but a turn of fortune meant I had to get it a couple of days later. Thankful for that. That's nailed into the wall, next to the keys

A '95 ZX6 frame
Which is gonna be cleaned up and made into a table or something. This is off a bike I bought where the dude landed heavy from a wheelie and split the frame. I've bought a new one which is in the process of being cleaned up..

Probably many more to come, and I should have kept some other stuff from years past too, but the start of my collection all the same.. And I know people have gargre loads of stuff, but what 'keep-sakes' have you kept onto?

[HDTboy]

I've got at least one part of every vehicle I've owned on my bookshelf

[James Deuce]

I have the right hand footpegs off my RC30 and my TRX, and the right hand toe slider off the boot I was wearing when I crashed the TRX.

[Colapop]

The door of my old Datsu charade the only part that wasn't totalled.

The wing mirror of the '88 GSX ... that I totalled - without insurance.

And some bitter memories...

[Sniper]

I have the indicators off my CG125 and my RG400. Those are my trophies.

[Str8 Jacket]

I have the Suzuki badge thingy and a munted front mud guard from when I wrote of the GN off. I also still have the tool kit - which Im giving away if anyone wants it...

[crashe]

The two shocks off my Virago... One is totally bent out of shape.
But I had to replace them both...I was hit side on by a car at the rear of the bike. I replaced them with GN250 shocks... But now need the rubber thingee's that sit up inside the shocks or another set of GN250 shocks.

A oil cap as this one was screwed in off thread.

A regulator thingee... ok thats not what its called... but it stopped the bike from working after the battery went flat and I crashed started it....
Never crash start a Virago.

Brand new spokes for a rear wheel for the Virago...
Had to buy a whole kit when 4 spokes were broken.
(Thanks to Speedpro for fixing up the bike)

Front tyre - Its still ok to be used... was replaced when I won a complete set of tyres from Motohaus. The rear tyre went in the bin.

Thats it.....

But have lots of car parts.

[NhuanH]

I got the instrument cluster and the plate from my Gixxer.

[John]

I have scars... lots of scars, in strange and unusual places, great fun at parties....

"OHHH THAT TICKLES"

[Cibby]

haha

I have the wing mirror of juzzers SP1, not sure how it got there thou?

[WRT]

I have the key from the TLR, the only road bike I have crashed. The rear seat cowling is also hanging up as a memorial. Somewhere in a drawer I also have a ground down rear brake lever after I got overly enthusiastic going round a corner on the RF. That was the only thing I kept from that bike after a mate binned it for me. Tell you what tho, when I heard the noise it made going round the corner, my first thought was that I was scrapping the fairing. Was glad when I pulled over to realise that it was *only* the lever touching down. I already knew it was leant over a long way after having my boot pushed up off the foot pedal while going round the corner . . .

[SPman]

As this is the first bike I've ever totalled....got a front wheel spoke, mirror and LH foot peg........

[burnzup]

Hey SP man - sorry to hear about you and Black Bess. What a loss. Hope you feeling better.
Catch you soon.

EZ muthafuckin' E?

[sunhuntin]

ive got two mirrors [one minus glass, the other with glass fragments], three brake levers and one plastic part from between the engine and carb that was replaced when she was serviced. i keep all parts if i can...they are on my book shelf, and i plan to salvage some parts from the wreck, like the badge that fell off and a few other bits and bobs.

[parsley]

I have some wonderful memories.

Oh yeah, a dodgy hip and a knee that makes interesting crunching noises sometimes.

[Jackrat]

Still got the kick start lever off my SD900 Ducati that I removed after using it to smack my shin on the foot peg for the umteenth time.
Bloody odd design that one!!:blink:

[avgas]

Im trying to get rid of all my crap but lets recap on all the stuff i have here:
R5 sidecovers, vauxhall chevanne badges, 8 plates, some zxr crap, 2 jars of nut-bolts-washers-niknaks...that were replaced off bikes.
And down in Kati i have:
Left overs from my RG (fairing pieces, and few other things), left overs from the TS, Dads graveyard to NZs collection of XS 750/850's, my sisters abandoned corolla, prob some more of my sigma/chevanne parts.....
All i can say is
"Trademe - One mans collection, is another mans junk that he wants to buy"
Without that philosophy this list would easily be twice the size

[justsomeguy]

Old rooted chain and sprockets from the ZZR, old keys, pieces of plastic from the fairings from when I crashed.

And of course an entire engine with holes out the front and back and little pieces of pistons........

That engine will get cleaned and become a loving part of my furniture someday.

Hi Pheonix,

[mikey]

[Ixion]

By the time thou hast that dream again, the CORSE will have been crashed by some dreaming squidley, and will be tangled wreck.
