happy happy sad sad

Rip-rip-roaringly humorous things and bitter sadness.
Lets start with sad, this nice bike went the way of the relationship i was in when i gave it to the grrl who never rode it. Everything looks good and runs well, though you haven't serviced it in a while, then the crazy neighbours of the place where you're stashing it get their place fire-bombed(or fire-bomb it themselves not sure yet, and doesn't really matter). And here is the result.

The upside is I've reclaimed the carcass and striped and repainted the bits.Photos when the rebuilds complete.

20 meters of 4 meter high wall and this is the only thing on it.

rumors of my dmize being greatly exagerated (its just a heart)

UPDATE UPdate update
Been painting a lot and there taint no internet cable running to my tent, so somewhere between time constraints and resource management lays the blame.

Okay so this was painted in the workshop of some fancy tyrez shop, dude didn't know what he wanted so i did this. At which point he became quite sure of what he didn't want. He then went and found some nasty bboy style characters off the web for this to be covered by.
