Project bikes section?

[skidMark]

go start ya own forum and add a project bikes section in there. i dont see the big deal in making one...

ah yeah it is noddy

if it is such a big deal start ya own thread in the bike mechanics/general maintenance titled my project bike/zimmer frame.... yes it's that easy...

there is your problem right there Mark, spank has said before put it in the blog section, so as i said before go start your own forum or put up with it....


I'm not having a dig at you, i would have said this to anyone, it's not all about you.

if you have a problem with people putting forward there veiw then post up ya thread and have a mod lock it off

Mark's "i dont see the big deal in making one..." remark came across as condescending...

what are you talking about that was my first post in this tread

right.... you are on ignore.

I have a friend, who is not a KB'er, neither does he advertise. who has vast amounts of early jap bike parts. He lives close to me.
His stock numbers in the hundreds of bikes in several sheds, all sorted and labeled.
If there was a project bike thread, then I would know what is being looked for, go approach my friend, to see if he can supply the part and the cost.
There are several KB'ers who already have had good servce from this person for the building of their project bikes.
Some stated that project bikes are not the way of the modern biker, I challenge that statement, as over the winter months I have see the posting of at least one completed project bike, a Katana, and the request from at least a dozen other members wanting parts, or links to suppliers.
These have mainly been in the engine/suspension thread as thats about the only place they get viewed. Now they are off the board and lost in the ever increasing file of dead threads.
The numbers of this forum is increasing, with that increase will come diversification of ideas and types of bikes being used, built, raced, whatever. This place has to grow to keep pace with the growth of its members, a project bike thread would be a valuable addition to the forum.
I for one enjoy assisting others doing their bikes, such a thread would make that enjoyment more profitable for all involved.
Let the tarmac ever be beheath you, as you ride your pride and joy, weather you bought it with your hard earnt cash, or built it from your own sweat and perserverance.

right.... you are on ignore.

there is the mechanic section - maybe it could be a sub forum, i see the reasons for having lots of sections, but i dont always think its a good idea - like splitting it up heaps makes it harder to read everything on kb.

**mutter mutter fascist dictatorships** lol

Such a section need not be restricted to complete bikes.

It could also comprise such things as the rectifier and regulator projects posted up, radar screamers, spray painting projects etc.

At present these are scattered willy nilly through a large number of forums.

This makes it very difficult for those who may wish to reference them in the future

Eg, I am doing up my bike. I need some part or other, and I recall that someone, somewhere , posted a reference to a source. But at present if I search i must include almost all forums (or laboriously do multiple individual searches), and my search will doubtless return many posts that refer to the part but in a context unrelated to a source for it. (try searching for "horn" for instance). And blogs are not searchable at all

[imdying]

Yes but your earlier comments were simply to start a skidMark bashing thread, which you failed at and now you are trying to make yourself look like less of a cock.

Nobody gives a shit, just drop it.

That's an excellent suggestion. Would be nice if you could tag your thread Component or Bike as with the BSE Buy Sell tags (or whatever they are.

I didn't realise that blogs aren't searchable... that pretty much knackers that as a practical alternative.

here you go
I started the drawings the other day , I do this sometimes when I am bored , the challenge ,,to build a chop for the least amount of money. I did it once with a triumph , this time its with an Enfield ( I have a motor sitting , not gainfully employed ,)

So I use 3d cad to get it all in the right place dont worry about the mudguard , it was an old one I had lying around , I needed a frame to get the fig dimensions. It all hangs on gas and tubes ..If i can get the gas for me gas plant , and if I can get the tubes ( I am in Japan ,,,they do things funny over here )

.......dreaming now ,,,it may be a Jockey shift ...but one thing I hate is an Unclean bike ,,cables and stuff ,,,so I am thinking of hydraulics .....I dont know ...just a thought

Spankme is probably busy doing all the other things that are needed to maintain a site of this size. Making multiple threads to force the issue would just piss me off if I were him... and then you'd get nothing.

Perhaps, but it has been requested by other members in the past and nothing was done, i get the feeling it is a moderation issue, i am happy to moderate it myself in the way that Squiggles moderates the Auckland Uni SMC forum.

spankme doesnt seem to keen i do not know why

Because the request came from you?

[skidMark]

As joking as that may be meant, about sums it up.

But requests have come from others also and it never happened.

You shouldn't expect something to be done. If he wants to add one, he'll add one. Just because nothing appears to be happening, does not mean that it isn't being taken into consideration.

Current blog software is crap. New one is much better. Wait for the upgrade.
