The Start

So today i have started to make my c800 into a bobber. Pipes paid for, collect Friday. A bike lift bought and also collected on Friday, both from Metric Cruiser (10% discount-nice).

I also put Jon (MC) in contact with Blue Collar Bobbers in the States, with the idea of importing some of their packs.

I will post some pic of what i am drawing my ideas from as soon as i work out how to...

D

Cool, that'll be interesting

This is from Blue Collar Bobbers web site, this is roughly the base structure.



Since i am in the Army and going to be a member of The Royal British Legion Riders Branch I thought I would go slightly military



This one may sound a bit strange. I used to play an online game, Eve Online, a quality game and real nice graphics, i am thinking about bringing in some of it to the paint...but the cost may stop this idea

hi drew just realised it's morse code at the bottom of your messages good title eh!

:-)

Hahah Drew, my boss had his old Pan European painted in Caldari colours from EVE.

Minmatar! ard as nails. :)

Have you any pic's of you the cal' bike?

No unfortunately he had to scrap it, we bought a new one together though. Ex police, completely white. He see's it as a blank canvas for another paint job, but we both own it, so it won't be painted until we can agree on a style, hehe.

if it is white you can say that you are part of Concord. :)

not a word

Love that blue bobber pic above - I can see I'm goig to be jealous!! As regards the morse - I ran it through a morse converter last night too! As an aside....my dad was a WW2 morse telegraphist in the navy. He said they learnt morse code by sitting opposite each other and having conversations by tapping a finger on each others back of hand. I've still got a transcript on navy paper telling of the Normandy landings put out in morse by Germans as it happened - my dad retrieved it from his wastebin and now I have it. Clever bit of binary, morse code - in fact the forerunner of computer science! My dad used to talk to me in morse sometimes - diddy da dit (.._.) was how he said it.

Looks phenomenal in HD!!

I have just sent this off for a paint quote...this is the price that will either make it or break it :/

That would look sweet!

Just out of interest, who did you find to do the paint job?

It's just to get a ball park costing, no idea if i will be going with them or even if they can fit me in. I'm thinking it will cost about £2.56 for the whole job......yer, whatever.

That seems a bit pricey don't you think?

Well they certainly have some skills, some brilliant paintwork on there. You'll get what you pay for I think.

i am looking at about £800 for paint, wonder if they would take body parts?
