F5’s SP project pretty much complete

[F5 Dave]

Saw you this morning Jim at lights in Maungaraki, but I didn't expect you to notice the van going past.

[riffer]

It's not off a Mark3 Zephyr is it?

[F5 Dave]

Right era, but it's not off a car. Thought the Zephyr had a long vertical one (ooeer!).

[Posh Tourer :P]

R series, err no.

Yah thats a bit easier to see - the centre pattern looks the same, but I couldnt make out those rounded edges.

What is this "van" you speak of?

I also feel crappy so I'm looking at vehicles today, not through them. Sorry I didn't see you.

[vifferman]

The correct answer is, it's off a No Pharking Eyed Deer.
Either that, or the Lesser-spotted Pixellated Mystery Blur. 1968 model, I reckon.

[Blakamin]

its not early H-D is it?

[Wenier]

if ya can get a better resolution pic of the light i might b able to figure it. But i cant tell with the pick next to the van i have issues with the red being near a van of similar colour, stupid *(&^(^ eyes.

[F5 Dave]

Well I could go get a better pic at lunchtime, but I am waaay too lazy for that.

So, the answer is it is off a V50 Belugasomething or other scooter. Just the rear is visible, but it was a big sticky outy thing & found whilst rummaging in a box of tail lights. Almost used a C50 one (typical Honda stepthrough scooter made millions of, the V50 was Yamaha’s version. Never seen one going but a friend found one, tip I think).

So I’ll drink the beer myself, thanks for guessing.

Lets hope you never have to buy a new lens then!

There was 2 more in that same box. + I could invite myself around to my friends garage and. . .

[munter]

That is one very nice looking bike!!!
Pity it's not black

[Pwalo]

Very, very nice Dave. Hope that you haven't built it just as a pose machine.

I hope not too, but like a new bike I’ll get over the fear of scratching it & just ride it like I used to. I’ve had the bike about 8 years & decided after riding a few other bikes that I still really liked it & what the hell was I doing selling it?

Actually I’ve already dropped it in the garage before it even made it outside. Pushed it forward, sidestand flicked up on the other side without me hearing it & I laid it over & it kept going.

Luckily there was a can waiting to catch the handlebar at just the right point to avoid a major mishap. Amazingly nothing was scratched, god was thanked & I went off inside a gibbering mess till I composed myself.

Looking forward (or maybe not) to weighing it.
