Red Bull F1 tears up Perth City Streets

It wasn't advertised, but yesterday at lunchtime Perth boy Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull test driver) got to lay some F1 rubber down on Riverside Drive and Victoria Avenue Perth City. This is some footage I captured on my cell phone. What an awesome noise. Cannot wait to see Mark Webber do some hot laps around Wanneroo Raceway on Sunday. If someone can tell me how I can rotate the video I'd appreciate it.

Dumpster diving yields six exhausts

Was looking through one of my favorite dumpster locations a few weeks back and found these six two-stroke exhaust pipes. Most are in fairly good shape too. Love free stuff!!!

Motorcycle seat repair $5 plus glue

I finally got round to repairing my seat which I had cut and shut to improve the lines. I took about 25mm off the top and about 75mm off the length. This allowed me to retain the old seat cover, I simply cut the damaged corner off and replaced it with my $5 seat cover which came from a Honda XR250RG. It looks very used, but that was what I wanted and cheap too. Just stuck it all back together with contact adhesive. I was thinking about sticking something else over the join for aesthetics and for additional reinforcement. maybe a natural brown leather belt?
