[STICKY]My Pic Of The Day

[Squizzy]

Went for a ride yesterday on the R80 after fitting a screen and hand protectors. Not fussed over the look of the screen, but it works well. Don't know how they reckon just 2 mounting points would work, I put a couple more at the bottom to stop it moving around. Did around 160ks, across to Gembrook, then Healesville, Toolangi then home. Good ride. Hand protectors will come off as it warms up a bit, but ok now. Cheers.

I reckon that looks quite good.
Screen suits the rest of the bike.

 

[Squizzy]

Yes, as I said it works well, minimal buffeting, can be angled back for warmer days. Looks better this morning in the garage than in the photos up on the stand for oil and filter changes today.

Yeah, screen looks okay.

This one is for @glitch and his time with the Münch Mammut. You can translate it as „Singing of the Münch“ Pete do you have a better translation?

 

[Zuckerbaron]

No Münch Mammut around but this Rudge will start in some minutes

The "Münchgesang" is a business/ owner's? name.
As many German names, it's a word/name made of 2 parts, each of which a word with its own meaning.
Direct translation might be "Münch-Song" where a Münch was the first ever "Gozilla"-Bike, in the vein of a Hayabusa.
Bike of the '70's, handbuilt, today only exists in private collections and museums.
Now priceless due to its rarity (which I helped, crashing one + bending it to the shitter)

Then again, "a Münch" was also (historically) a monk.....like Munich/ german München.... got its name from the local "monastery".
And monks can and do sing....at least they did in the old days.

The sign on the rear door is a "Wanted" sign for a ....nowadays... fitter+turner?

Number plate? Doesn't mean anything to me. BI is for a City of Bielefeld registration.

That narrow, pale-yellow wedge at the lower right edge of the Auistrian districts map.
Also shows all the countries that Austria borders with.



Never been to this area of Austria before, will have a poke around the next few days.
