 dude that sucks so bad, how big was the drop
  • + 1
 It's not that high just long. I over shot the landing a few bike lengths and landed into a flat bowl about 8ft deep. That grinding noise was the rear tyre ripping into the seat. Thank f*ck my arse wasn't on it or i'd av been shittin up my back for a few months after that ;-)

 Really nice build apart from that frame Smile
  • + 1
 The frame is the best part of the bike ...it's the heart & soul ...& it;s a KONA!
  • + 2
 I agree with you that the frame is the soul so to speak of the bike but money can buy much better things Smile

 Yeah, I had em laser profiled ...bad idea! If anyone sees any stab plates going cheap could they drop me a message ...cheers
  • + 2
 ya no doubt, my bent a set of plates on his 06 stinky. those cut outs in the rocker links made em super weak. hopefully you can find some replacement links
  • + 1
 typical kona, im not surprised.
  • + 2
 Not Kona's fault buddy ...I profiled the pivot plates ;-)
  • + 1
 what does it mean to profile??
  • + 2
 its quite a wide term. In engineering it means to cut designs in metal usually by means of water jet or laser.. but being from the north of England I hear it mentioned constantly on 'crime-watch'
  • + 1
 hows ur camera mounted at the beggining
  • + 1
 It's a little design I came up with called 'the robot arm'. I know it sound really technical n posh n expensive n innovative n all that malarkey ...but it's just a bit of 38mm shit pipe from out of mi bog!

  • + 1
 sweet bike! have one myself they are built like tanks!
  • + 1
 haaa see what you meant pal!!

 HAHA!!!!!!!!!!

 formed in 1981 with lead singer & gap toothed gypsy-mullet head from Norway 'Morten Harket' rose to fame with hits like 'Take On Me' and errrrrrrrrrr .......take on me!
That's the one that goes ..."der der der der - de de de - de der der der de.
Morten thought he was big n clever having girls throw there keks at him during the performances ....wot Morten failed to realize was the girls were just mucky slags from Barnsley and the knickers hadn't been washed for over 3 months!
Should have changed the name of the song to 'Take em off me'

next?
