I ahve a 6 watch "Van Gough" from here: http://www.officialtime.org/p_winder.asp# Has been running with no issues for about 3 years. Practically silent, seperate motor for each watch (no point in spinning a manual watch) with clockwise/anticlockwise/both ways rotation. Very nice quality too

lose the fiat 500 checker board stripe thing and the huge badges and it'll look as good as it no doubt drives

Agree with the sentiment here, nicely done, some lovely touches (the clock is exceptionally cool) but at $250k (c.£150k) I really can't see who their market would be?

20 quid sent, i don't think I paid last year?

Whilst I'm not on the board as often as I once was it's good to see the community still thriving!

915 gear knob

Found this in my cupboard. Used but in v good condition, no scrapes, chips etc.

They seem to be selling repro's on eBay for 89quid (which is ridiculous) so no idea what this is worth.

Make me an offer!

I have pics but have never worked out how to post them, can e-mail them if you're interested.

you could try something like this to bring the noise down (i think Andy had some fitted to one of his beasts in the past, but my memory is not what it was...)

It was dress down here and to be honest other than noticing a lot more people in jeans on the walk to work the whole thing didn't affect me at all, I guess I get to work before these guys get out of bed, and go home after their curfews are in place… As Gary points out the most interesting thing for ...

you can "wheelie a shaftie" pretty easily, maybe the myth comes when shafties were all big heavy underpowered lumps?

With 133 bhp and 115 Nm, and 178kg dry weight I reckon my bike will happily flip over backwards if I'm not respectful...
