nothing like the sound of an anglegrinder cutting roofing iron on a sunday
morn....

this should keep the neighborhood toerags out.

heh, looks like a headquarters doesn't it?, has anyone got a kiwibiker flag?

Next time you're cutting coro iron, try a circular saw with the blade flipped around. Works a treat, especially at twilight, awesome fireworks display.

I've done that before, but it tears the tips off the tungsten blades, anyway the gate is steel so the anglegrinder was out anyway, change disks and your away.

totally transformed the front yard too, all the kids are on the other side of the gate and can't reach the latch to get back in, lol, peace and quiet.

nice... Err I think!

Next time try a steel cutting blade on a skilly, sod all sparks, and cleaner cuts, and sparks don't pit the steel so no rust ;)

Looks good lb99, should get some nice reverberations off that surface, all you need now is a vee twin.....

If your cutting galv of zincalum sheet material use shears not a grinding wheel. The grinding action leaves the parent metal exposed and promotes corrosion, using shears "smears" the galv or zincalum coating over the cut surface and helps protect it....just in case anyone wanted to know!

I used shears for the first cuts, then I couldn't be fuckt with it, so out with the duragalv methinks.



neighbours boy: " thats a big fence, it should keep your dog in"
me: "it should be good for keeping small boys out too, ay?"
neighbours boy : "oh, I guess so" (rides away)

Lol yeah, it's always interesting moving into a new neighbourhood... done that plenty of times. Interesting to see the first impressions and how they change as they get to know you. Right now they'll be thinking `shit... bikers... that brought the average valuation right down', hahaha.

As for the head, well, I've got all the bits I need now (they arrived this morning, at last), so I just need some oil and diesel fuel and then I'll put it together and I'll find out if I need a new head or not. I think I can get away with it :D

Blenheim doesnt really get Taggers. More like kids who sniff the can fumes or spraypaint their "phat" cars with sliced springs, loud exhausts and wapshh noises made by people in the passenger seat.

EDIT: What street is that lb?

If you have any iron spare, make a ramp for ya bike to do jumps.

I reckon a few spotties, barbed wire and a rotty or two and you'd pass for the back suburbs off Porirua.

eep, ( remove foot from mouth) no offence intended, but they do do some dumb stuff alright, coz they've got nuthin else to do, and they don't want to wind up bigoted curtain twitchers like their parents (I know a few local teens)
