What you're looking at above is not a computer generated drawing, it is a full scale wireframe representation of a Lamborghini Countach created by installation artist Benedict Radcliffe.

The car is the latest in a series of wire cars Radcliffe has completed. It's likely the most ambitious, painstakingly crafted from 10 mm steel tube welded together into that familiar shape we all know and secretly love.

If the guy enjoys it it's just the same as you and me going out and riding our bikes for pleasure. Complete waste of time?

Shut up Matt, it's not a waste of time as he gets paid to do it which is more than you get for riding a bike.

He entertains other people though, you only entertain yourself and 5 year old kids that are impressed by short wheelies Wink

Riding your bike does piss all for you other than the enjoyment you get. And probably pisses off everyone else you see from the look of it Laughing

He gets pleasure from it, plus he gets paid for it, plus other people enjoy it.

Not that pointless then.

750, which I haven't flipped yet Wink

And when I bought a small capacity bike, I had the sense to buy one that wouldn't snap at the headstock.

i see you have lost the argument so move onto bikes? (you havnt flipped it because you havnt done anything worth doing on it)
125's however are irrelavent in this discussion, actually, if mine hadnt snapped, i would probably still be on L's.

mito 125 is where its at these days Wink

oh, and for the record... whats wrong with my 600 other than a few panels that i have new ones waiting to be fitted in spring?

Yeah, I moved onto bikes Rolling Eyes


Anything worth doing like pulling away from some traffic lights outside Sainsbury's? Oh yeah I wish I'd done that, I haven't lived yet.


You've had it ages and it looks like a tatty wreck all over, why wait until spring to fit the panels? It couldn't look much worse..

please, go into detail.

If you wish to dispel the myth that you don't own a complete shed of an srad, wash it for once and take pictures that aren't on a dusty fucking building site. That is Lesson 1 in how to take pictures of motorcycles. Usually comes with common sense but you seem to have been last in the line for that. Laughing

whats the point in washing it at this time of year?
my driveway turns into a swamp at the slightest hint of rain, and so do the roads 5 miles in any direction from my house.
should have a DRZ really...

EDIT: from the crash thread...

this is after fixing it when i flipped it ''outside saisburys'' according to moonie Rolling Eyes

pretty average nick if you ask me.
got some immaculate rear tail pod panely things to go on in spring, and its had a new-ish RHS panel, plus a fairing matching tank in the garage. (the yellow screen is on at the mo, but its sentimental)

To wow your new bum chums on BCF of course!

I was referring to your pictures shown on this forum months and months back. I can not refer you to the exact date as I am currently trying to forget that day - I am emotionally scared from setting eyes upon that beast. Razz
