Getting back on the bike, as it were. Time to whip this sloppy rig into shape!

BMC Roadmachine (with a 105 set)

Northwave bike shoes

Kask Helment (LOVE the leather around the bottom of the strap)

Knog Oi bike bell (Law states we need one in Australia and this has minimum dag factor, which I think goes with the bike)

Not pictured: various other bike related stuff, lights, pump, drink bottle holder etc , and my aforementioned Recaros just had minor repairs, so they shal be fitted in the 182 shortly :D :D

Apparently that strap is vegan leather (non-animal) which is nice. At least it is on the Protone so I’d assume it is on that model.

Actually it must be said the helmet model is slightly different - a Mojito instead of a Vertigo, but the colour is the same and overall looks largely the same...
 
Bought a print:

One my favourite photographers, Todd Hido. Last week Magnum had a print sale that included one of his photos, missed out on that but then a few days later this one comes up at nearly half the price and almost 10x bigger (it's a 60x70cm print). His publisher is arranging to get it signed later this evening, can't wait to have it on my wall.

It’s called the Delanclip, a cheaper alternative to TrackIR. Hopefully I won’t need to get a new webcam (I’ve heard well of the curved lens PS3 Eye camera for IR tracking) as I can’t find a way to remove the IR filter, I think it’s fused onto the sensor sadly, on my Logitech C270, but I’m not sure if the included daylight filters will work well enough or if it won’t work at all. :boggled:
 
It's been a bit of an expensive day for me today....

First time going to an auction with my dad and we bought a Motorcycle :D 1997 Ducati 750 Super Sport! Beautiful, pretty original bike, only has aftermarket cans, with only 10k miles on the clock. Got it for 3.3k ended up at 3.9k total because of auction fees and debit card fees lol. Super pleased with the purchase :)

That is awesome.

Please tell me you’re going to ride that everyday and rip the ball off of it at every mountain pass opportunity...
 
Should I post a post when I buy my 991.2 GTS? :P :D

RHD :P Thanks man :)
 
Wow, Depeche Mode is still around and filling arenas? I wouldn't have guessed it.

Here is my latest purchase.

I got it to see how well it does both with mobile gaming and fur a retropie build i have planned. It's definitely a nice controller. Its got a good weight to it, doesn't have the cheap controller rattle and fits well into the hand. So far I've played oddworld: stranger's wrath and Assoluto Racing on my mobile with it and it works pretty well.

Thats a sweet bike, and 3.3 k is a steal - awesome. 👍

Just a question, maybe its just me or the angle but it looks really small?

Wow, Depeche Mode is still around and filling arenas? I wouldn't have guessed it..

Why not? Its not just one of those last generation bands, I was born in 88' and I really like the band, as do many my age. Really good bands cover more than one generation.
 
It's not so much that they are still together and playing, it's the arena part that surprised me really. But, then, they are probably far bigger in the UK still than here in the states.
 
My trusty old LSTN earbuds finally gave up last week. I had them for about four years and used them almost daily for a good chunk of that time, too. I really liked them, so I'm sad to let them go. However, to replace them I splurged a little and got a pair of Audio-Technica LS50 earbuds. After the first second of the first song, I was over the LSTNs. These earbuds transform how I experience the music I've loved for years, and it almost feels like I'm listening to these songs for the first time again.
