Bike bits on your desk?

**Flyingpony** · 14th July 2005, 17:02

On your desk at work, home, University, school or where ever, what kind of bike bit mementoes do you have on yours?

My desk has got one memento: a seriously worn Suzuki OEM 14 tooth front sprocket removed last month.

Nothing else significant on my bike has worn, broken or exploded

do desktops count? I have ~400 that change to a new one every 15 mins. About a third of them are bike pics.. I also have a few photos of bikes around my desk and my bike too. Also my gear (when I ride in) and I'm trying to find a 636 for the top of my G5 (doesn't matter on colour, I'm gonna spray it orange!)..

Although they are completely invisible under the piles of computer crap, I do have, on my desk (assuming that the desktop still actually exists under there - clean desk, clean mind? yeah, sure. Empty desk, empty mind, i say), a piston from a 1926 (approx) Villiers, and a Bakelite pickup brush carrier from a Lucas K2F magneto. They have been there for years. Why they were ever there in the first place I have long since forgotten.

The age of stuff on my desk is measured by geological strata.

A cursoury glance at my desk shows nothing of interest,99% of it is related to things on wheels....and I evade looking at it all.

When my wife worked in an office she wanted a couple of paperweights - so I polished up and gave her a gudgeon pin from a Cummins motor out of the Kenworths I worked on,and a selfaligning roller bearing out of a vibrating road roller,it was about 150mm in dia and the inner race and roller cage would rotate in the outer race,they were real cool and no one tried to lift them from her desk.

2 carbs for the vanvan - a larger cv and a dr200 flatslide.
oh, and a KTM tail light assembly.

Fuel mixture kit I must build up & modify to become an EGT sometime to try on the racebike. Also there is a prototype quickshifter around here somewhere. One day. . .

And a cast of a YZF750 piston crown if I order those big bore pistons sometime.

In the garage, I have a clock made out of an old sprocket, and a glass coffee table made from two Nissan fairlady wheels and tyres.

Have the old ider gears on my desks soon to be joined by a beat up gastank and chunk of a certain corner on a certain road up north.

A pair of Marzocchi Strada rear shock absorbers in bits and a picture of me and Phil coming around the Ruapuna Hairpin with the sidecar wheel in the air
