While we're here anyone wanna suggest attention grabbing movies? I'll start,

Where did you look first? "Don't put it down, put it away"
Think where you would logically look for the thing in your hand and put it there works really well.
Anyway all that advice is useless now since you put it somewhere really safe, you have two options, buy new object, old one will magically appear once money is spent or in the drawer you open to put away the new object.
Option two is invent time machine.
Good luck!
what's worst is this my only ever "nice" bike i've wanted to keep, quiet literally everything else has had either duck tape or household magnolia brush painted rolling wrecks. I think we have the selector drum in 180 degrees out, gotta split it again and find out why it won't shift gears now, but would before we closed it up.
Haste makes cracked fairings :(
Tough week, car broke, rushed out on my bike to rescue her, after the repair, in a hurry forgot about the disc lock and to make it much worse I had moved the bike backwards so had a good run up and really crunched things. Had to really muscle the broken lock off, the only silver lining I suppose was that I had my good tools with me. Raided spare YZF for parts, so maybe in the new year it'll be a pinky? Also (if anyone remembers) that H100 I'm rebuilding, ya, neutrals not where it's supposed to be...
That's some detail oriented skill you got there. it took me far too long to just find the hammer
I wish I could upvote this more
I live by "don't put it down, put it away" but an important part is where, if you have a fork in your hand, you should think "if I need this next year where would I look?" obv's in a cutlery drawer, but replace fork with car keys or documents..
3D Printable Subaru Impreza 22B
Really nicely designed print, check the build guide for some really nice engineering details (very short video)
You have my sympathies, I've had one paint project go right in my life, and that was a destop computer! the bikes and cars all ended up 'ratrod' style
H100a dissection
Got it appart! it's the five speed gearbox so I went and blew 520 euro on go faster bits.
The barrel broke, had to resort to a metal pipe and the BFH bashing on the piston to seperate them. everything after the crank is mint.
It seems it died because of the left hand crank seal walking out, I'll 3d print a tool to make sure that's inserted fully and not doing that again.
So next week it'll be shiny bits and the hunt for a suitable chassis.
A side highlight of my week, got to test ride a suzuki goose 350, on paper really heavy, but it was really chuckable, even with tyres from the 90's I was going a bit too hard after 10 minutes :D
Body Doubling
Last week i was chatting away to my counsellor, and we came up with a novel idea, body doubling works for most of us to get stuff done, makes it easier to get up and start when others are doing a thing.
For me it also works the other way, if everyone else is sitting down, watching TV and winding down, i find it really hard to get up and do the things i'd rather do, like near impossible.
Anyone else notice anything similar?
This pic only show's it's good side :D honestly I hope it's a five speed inside as cranks and topends are cheap, next week I'll split the cases.
Ribs too? ouch, I broke a collar bone and slashed an ankle. Played world of warcraft for five weeks, not moving much until they knitted helped, lost a lot of weight. Never played WoW again after. You shouldn't be in so much pain in about three days after the swelling goes down.
I've nothing to add but good luck (never even owned a auto)
Thanks, the chassis is all mine, except the diff, which I know won't last but just haven't had the time to design a replacement yet. the body was one I picked off of thangs and slightly modded. I'll credit the creator when I get around to releasing it.
Been a few months of on/off designing and printing, but it’s on four wheels now (the correct offside rear is being printed right now) still loads to do, the temporary diff is too low, leading to the axles falling out and the tyco bandit inspired body is no where near fitting yet.

The smoke got out..
So I knew the gearing was too long for the larger tyres, new gears on the way, I expected the motor would die from the abuse/heat (the 3d printed motor mount was certainly feeling the heat!) however it hadn't died after 3 or 4 battery pack, so I went for a high speed run, on the plus side it went straight, also on the plus side we get to replace the 20+ year old esc! downside I have to lend little TerraRoot one of my RC's until his parts get here doughtnut video
Cracked the 3mm ball joint out of it, testing it by sending it down playground slides, thought the link would break first but I seem to have over engineered that. !
Old girl
Stopped for a stretch and a photo, odd she didn't idle, but what harm, 30 years old, nope she had broke down right here, got her going again, no go again next vilage, thinking it's the enforced winter slumber, rode home hard, 240kmh, 13krpm in 5th (not enought space for 6th) and pulled in home and idled like nothing ever went wrong.

> Had some left over rc junk, challenged myself to make it go without my usual over designing/thinking/planning procrastinating until I never even start. happy how it turned out! reminds me of a tyco bandit, probably shorten v2 even more and stick that bandit body on.

Aprilia af1 125
So my buddy is selling this, it's been sitting 20 years, engine turns over, been stored dry, but plenty of corrosion. Six thousand km on the clock and it's probably true. Tell me I don't want a finicky 250 bhp/ltr explosive powerband impractical smells great does something funny in my pants purple two stroke. I am struggling so hard not to.
literally thrown the paint on
Little terraroot decided the paint scheme, I had to limit him to three as he wanted every can in the shed, he didn't do too bad!
Found some nicer bodies, learning some blender as I go
D12 printed body
Well, stuck it on, little chassis "cage" fits great, think I'll add some more detail to that and release it, clips and so on, since I lost the hardware to fit the orignal body ha.
Also fiat abarth 131 rally spec ought to look nice with those wheels. or an escort mk2. next!
Printed hilux for wpl d12
Hey all, printed stuff ok? this ones a bit of a mess, the model and the print, still I'll tape to a d12 chassis and send it
