Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: Desperate on January 21, 2006, 03:39:32 PM I'll put two more on. Did them today. Watch how the old f*cker goes. Engine aint standard! These were done with a little digicam.
One shot is pulling away one-handed...the beauty of a foot-clutch! Incidentally, that bike's 64 years old! Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: yoda on January 21, 2006, 04:56:06 PM 2 more vids added
(same place) Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: Desperate on January 21, 2006, 10:01:39 PM Apparently, you'll get a blank screen whilst it downloads. Could take a while, so crack a beer and roll a doodah. Turn the volume up.
Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: Manky Monkey on January 22, 2006, 11:03:38 AM Brilliant Chris. An Oscar winning performance. Do you use a stunt double for the riding shots? Loved the popping & banging as you disappear up the road! ;D
Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: Desperate on January 22, 2006, 02:49:41 PM All the popping at the start was the tripod creaking. The pops as I changed gear were due to the fact that there isn't even a hint of a baffle up those dragpipes. Hey, it don't go bad fer a sidevalve!
Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: Manky Monkey on January 22, 2006, 08:56:24 PM They just give it character, kinda like the dents in Flap's Landrover.

Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: Desperate on January 29, 2006, 04:26:12 AM Quick update....I cut it up yesterday. New project is happening and I needed the motor, so, after all these years, it is no more!
Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: Manky Monkey on January 29, 2006, 11:46:55 PM No-o-o-o!
I know you told me you were going to, but still sad to see it go. At least we all got to see you ride it first. Hope you'll keep us informed of the build. Title: Re: Desperates indians Post by: critch on January 31, 2006, 06:15:11 PM a new desperate vehicle?? this WILL be interesting
still looking forward to whats happening with the nsu lump... |
