First day and the first job was to get the trusty steed ship shape. The chain didnt like the Japanese winter it seemed  :LolLolLolLol:






Job done we set out for an easy first afternoon ambling around the second hand shops where we found a half decent bashy vertigo





Also found a couple of cool 80s guitars and randomly, but equally as cool, a train headlight







This gibson flying V really caught my eye, as did the stupidly cheap price, and may have to find its way into my case. Im guessing its previous owner was a big pistols fan






Looks like this particular model fetches around 250 notes stock. No idea what the customisation would have done to that figure any ideas lads?

Welcome back mate! :bow:

Are you going to the Happy Bike Meeting tomorrow? It's on between 9am and 1pm at Komazawa Olympic Park, the same place as last year, though I'm going to leave the Laserlite at home this time and take the Free Agent for a spin instead! :daumenhoch:
