[Closed] Friday's objects of desire thread

I'm either too old, or ride too fast/far - 'cos naked bikes just don't do it for me.

Fine to about 80 (on a sunny, warm day), otherwise too much hard work.

Happy to have my big fairing/screen this morning as I splashed to work.

Being able to taste this

At the moment, what I really really want is an old-style draftsmans drawing board. One of the ones with the big cast iron base

[img] [/img]

Imagine how many have gone into landfill or been melted down? 🙁

If I was ever very, very rich I'd buy a house by a lake, just so I could have one of these.

At this precise moment I am lustic after this garden studio/shed.. (and the garden to put it in..)

I'm serious.

just so I could [i]arrive[/i] somewhere, really.

I was involved with an inspection of an old fabrication building in Teesside prior to it's demolition;

I would have loved one of these, but sadly they were all scrapped.

(Sorry to piss on yer chips and all that)

My ultimate boss's job.

(He's succession planning, and there are three of us from within the business who are deemed to have the right stuff. Scary.)

One of these bad boys with some bacon, brown sauce and a potato scone hanging out of it.

*drool*

I am a bit sad perhaps in that there is little I covert - but always wanted one of these

[img] [/img]

One of these would be nice.

binners -how much are drawing boards worth these days? I ask because my Dad's old (70/80s) drawing board is sat in my Mums garage doing nothing!

What I love about cycling is that for the most part, it is within the realms of possibility to own your dream bike (unlike cars, boats, planes, motorbikes etc etc)

I have my heart set on one of these, but I need to get Cervelo out of my system first.

greeble - is that an airbrush?

greeble - is that an airbrush?

it is! right now i'm using a cheap ebay chinese copy which does what I want it to but would love to have a nice Iwata. with style similar to that saoutchik roadster wwaswas posted up there.

Hopefully I'll finally sort out the house this weekend, it's not exactly exciting but...

it's a right bugger that.

I've decided to dream of the impossible and save myself the money.

What is that pieface ? looks like a HP2 with no fairing ?

Do women count as objects..?

If not, this

Also this

JEngledow - i honestly haven't a clue. I've nowhere to put one of the buggers anyway. That doesn't stop me wanting one. And a room to put it in

The drawback being that 3 to 5 years later your dream bike changes and you need to replace it 😈

I still love my current bike and I don't think I'd really notice any difference with an updated version, but knowing that it is out there sort of eats away at me inside especially when you turn up at races and see other peoples newer and shinier bikes

It is a HP2 without fairing. Failing that an S1000 RR will do

*rather deep sigh* not gonna happen at the moment though 😥

Blimey, good job we're all different with some of those suggestions!!

😕

Mine would be sleep. A new 6 day old isn't assisting in my wishes though.

*sighs deeply too*

[img] [/img]

I'm not normally too bad. Its been ages since I've seen a bike and thought "I REALLY REALLY WANT ONE OF THEM!" Not a chance though unfortunately

On first glance I thought it was a fancy Kazoo.

good news Tim (other than the sleep thing!), congratulations.

Thanks Luke.

Super smooth wake

And this would be nice for commutes, my pompino's nice and all but it's a bit of a porker.
[img] [/img]but looking at it I reckon I'd struggle to get full guards on it.

TSY - backdoor?

timbur - you can sleep when you are dead dude, now is the time to attack life, but only after you have made your missus a cup of tea and told her what a clever girl she is.

Not much really..

The HP2 looks better without the fairing.

I would like the HP2 in my garage but if you were at the lights next to the S1000RR and watched it disappear you would be thinking why did I pay more money for the HP2 🙂

Super smooth wake

Too smooth.....Needs more! 🙂

Right now, I want the following;
PROPER coffee
PROPER bacon and egg bun

US breakfasts suck balls.

Anderson and Sheppard of Savile Row. Maybe next year.

You're welcome.

i saw its older brother (similar to below) in croyde earlier this week. from an aesthetic point of view, the older one is better (although i'm quite into 80s/early 90s VWs) - i could just never be botherd with the faff of maintaining it!
