Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)

[undamned]

turns out buying motorbikes was fun!?

I'm assuming it's more exciting than Cave kits

Damn it Sven, how many do you have now?

I'll get one someday. Or maybe not. I went for a scooter ride last weekend and one guy showed up on a '07 Piaggio MP3, 250cc. That thing is so badass.

I just bought a Joe Rocket Ballistic jacket. Don't know what number and it doesn't look like any pictures I can find on the web, and there's a chance it's a ladies' model. Oh well, it fits me nicely Now I just need to solve my lack of (riding) pants.

2006 RSV factory, öhlins all-round, mag wheels, PC3, full titanium exhaust.. amongst a few of the upgrades, bike has everything...

..or almost everything, could use a set of carbon fibre fairings + tank but who knows, gotta pimp the zx10r a little aswell.

Too bad your on the other side of the planet, we could go riding sometime.

Got this in Dec, looks a bit different now tho.

Jesus that's a gigantic brake rotor.

sweet ride BF, congrats on the purchase

ed: cars are so damn cheap in the UK, what are some good online classified ads to purchase used autos?

I finally got around to washing it and taking some proper photos:

and once again, sweet ride there BF

mirkvid> you'd never keep up with me on a buell (theyre great bikes tho, proper toys!) but yeah, Id love to live where you live, US westcoast has some sick backroads! all-year-round season is pretty damn sweet too..

[mirkvid]

Sven, is that an Aprilia? I sat on a new RSV4R or RR the other day at our local dealership. As soon as mine is paid off i'm going back!

Beautiful bike (Go Biaggi!)

[ZOM]

A Madara keychain? Does it produce a screaming laughter if you push it?

[Dragoforce]

Doesn't remind me of the Galuda 2 art, looks more like radirgy. What are you doing buying new bikes btw, I thought your drivers license got revoked?

Sadly it does not

[ROBOTRON]

FC3 console...f*cking greatest thing since sliced bread. Plays Genesis, NES and SNES.

[worstplayer]

Niiice. Does it have real guts or does it use some kind of emulation?

[jonny5]

composite only though

[system11]

I finished it.

Well, aside from the side art, which a friend is vectoring from various scans and photos.



New: monitor, monitor glass, t-molding, locks, transformer, wiring, feet, bulbs, starter, buttons, spinner bearings.
Repaired: cab corners, inner bezel, spinners, joysticks, PCB

Various pictures from the reconstruction here:

So, this game uses joystick + spinner? Nice work!

Yeah - the spinners are also buttons - unique to this game and very hard to get unless you find a whole panel or a whole cab.

Well done! It's a beauty.

Looks like authentic hardware.

Serious? I might just track one of those things down. Are the controllers any good? Or better, are the controller inputs propietary or can you just plug Sega/atari controllers in?

[Arasoi]

I played a FW cab almost exactly like that one at CAX last year, great game and lots of fun.

Nice work on your cabinet, BF. It looks tip top.

[KBZ]

Seeing great work like that restores my confidence in humanity

So far works great, controllers are the 6 button Saturn type (you get 2), they work great and it comes with a light gun that works great (I only have NES duck hunt)...and it was cheap! ($49)

Note: Light gun does not work on HD flat panel tvs...no light gun does to my knowledge. The on reason why my light gun works is because I own a Panasonic CRT HDTV...(1080i).

My unit came from Japan Video games in California, U.S.A. but can also be found thru NCSX, Play Asia and Ebay. I tried bidding on one on ebay but was beat twice by idiots that paid more than $49 + $12.95 shipping. @_@

EDIT: I haven't tested it, but the controller ports looks like standard Genesis/Mega Drive controller inputs. As someone mentioned ealier, composite only (red/White/Yellow) connects.

Sounds interesting. The lightgun problem is normal. I'll do a bit more research first but the price seems reasonable enough for something to free some space at home.
Now, it would be perfect if there's a way to mod it for RGB output...
Anyways, thanks for the info ROBOTRON!

[GaijinPunch]

Congrats, BF.
Almost makes me want to be English! Definitely makes me want to play it.

[TigerCraneFist]

wow that Forgotten Planets looks great man... cant wait to see it with the sideart on! Cograts!

I believe there was a device called LCD Topgun...or something...that worked. It wasn't a light gun in the traditional sense, as it used sensor bars. This was a few years back, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.
