pinstripe flame design .... try number 1

Was bored , so decided to attempt to do some simple flame design on my old helmet.

Drew straight on the helmet by freehand and used metal flakey nail polish to draw the lines ....

conclusion.... 5/10





using enamel metal flake nail polish to mark out the lines..





completion with gloss laquer.. flake effect is not obvious , more like flat silver .

Unity for Japan charity ride 16/04/2011

We were invited by Biker's Aid for this event to help raise funds for Japn in the wake of massive earthquakes that had hit them bad .
Me and Jes met with the guys at KTM , some didnt turn up to to the rain but still there was at least 50 bikers who made the trip.
we went in a convoy to Kazbar @ church street where we actually got ushered to park in the "courtyard"




we then proceed to walk to KAZBAR which sponsored the event  with free food and refreshments,
shocked when we were warmly welcomed by the event emcee and percussion band .
Impressed.

after the speeches by the VIPS and belly dancing performance





we moved into the inner dining area where we saw videos on the sad disaster and responded by donations via sms on our handphones



after which most sang to the tune of "Heal the World".........
All the time a female performer with great vocal was performing live at the stage in front of the restaurant





Great event and feel good factor.
i rode off smiling

DIY Exhaust wrap tutorial with pics

below are some of the pics from our DIY exhaust wrapping session by me , mike and shah .
enjoy :)


1) washing of bikes prior to wrap ( personal preference since need to clean up exhaust before wrap as well )





2) exhaust wrap used for this project . note : used proper titanium wrap as recommended rather than cheaper fibre versions. above packet good for 2 bikes with 4 headers . Approximately 3m for each header is sufficient with 1/4 inch overlap.





3) many methods of prep, i used the soak in water method





4) using stainless steel clamps to secure the 1st round of wrap....







5) round and round








6) and round.....










7) after wrapping , use another SS clamp to secure the other end .






8) screwing it down ...







9) 1 side done...







10) completion






11) start up and let run for few minutes . smoke and smell is normal , will go away after some time.


PS : thanks to Shah for his help and Micheal for the photos
