Its strangely addictive i find. I've managed to hit a new level of sad.... painting the lettering on tyres.

I can literally spend a weekend polishing my cruiser as 80% of the bike is chrome, I then lean on the wall and have a beer and look at it for half hour with that soppy look that only another biker would understand :rolleyes:

I haven't got a shiny chrome cruiser but I have a couple of old bikes in the garage I could drop round to you if you want a challenge. lol

Well,
This is a bit of a confessional,
Please please please don't let my actions dissuade any of you from your polishing or painting or pretty'ing or bespoke bracketry fabrications or in fact, any moto-vehicular tinkering of any kind :)

But,
In the end,
I just bought a new one :o

I think it's all good healthy fun ! I've just spent the afternoon buggering about with this . it's one of the old chains and sprocket sets off the Bonny , and I always did intend to clean it up and mount it on a nice decorative plinth as a bit of an objet d'art 'omage to the old girl .

The reason for it today was to try and demonstrate the crankshaft sprocket position and chain in relation to the cam sprocket position in a conversation with a guy in the Pacific Northwest who has his Bonny engine in bits . It's a funny old world .......... and quite small ! :cool: At some point the sprockets will get a squirt of black paint and with some shiny bolts it'll get properly mounted ...... FNAR !
