The old power plant at Balmain.

 
 

 

The black & white is a nice touch, Canbro. That first shot reminds me of 'The Powerhouse' here in Brisbane. It's a popular spot for Magazine shoots and looks a hellova lot like your building.

With the photo rotation thing, what if ya rotate on your computer before loading photo to P 'bucket?

 

Thanks Isaac. I've noticed that any photo that I rotate in Photoshop gets 'unrotated' in Photobucket. I may have to try to rotate it using Explorer as I've also noticed that some commands on some sites don't work using this browser (Opera).

That site has been empty for years while they try to work out what to do with it. The obvious solution is to turn it into apartments as it is very close to the city & accommodation is worth a fortune there.

They had a small section open to the public one day for a couple of hours. I happened across it right at the end of the day & got the below pic with my phone camera in dark conditions, hence the poor quality.



The gauge below was obviously made locally as Mort Bay is on the other side of the narrow peninsula. The brand name is "Morts Dock & Eng. Co." which is funny because "Mort's Dock" is the local slang for cock.

amazing photos

 Nice looking Trumpy Canbro . . . . 

Thanks Filthy. That's the one that's currently getting hardtailed. Might even get it back tomorrow with any luck. 

 Any sign of the Trumpy yet Canbro ? Would love to see some more photo's  . . . 

As luck would have it I got the frame back on Saturday arvo and managed to get it rolling shortly after.

The frame:

 

And rolling:

The paint is just some rattle can enamel to prevent rust while I mock it up to work out what I want. Not sure on colour yet other than it will be a metalic, possibly blue, purple or maybe even a kind of sandstone with white tank flashes.

I hope to get the motor mounted today if I can manage it with my useless right shoulder. I want to get as much done as possible before my operation in a couple of weeks as I won't be able to do much for a few weeks thereafter.

I'm happy with the way it sits and reckon the 6" stretch is just right. Most people go for a 4" stretch on the Triumphs but with the extra rake on mine I thought it would need more stretch.

I'll post more pics as I progress. Here's one I photoshopped of how I hope to do the rear guard & sissybar.

 

That's gonna look REAL good!

 

Ditto, keep the pics comin

Thanks guys, I'vbe continued this thread at:

The view from my shed; horses and horsepower:

 

Not real sure RT .... but to me looks like a harley and a couple of chestnuts.

Hi i saw this shed by the side of the road riding to Lake Moogerah, and decided to take a pic.

How did you know i was using that camera RT, thats spooky.

And it was chopped with Paint Shop Photo Pro 13.00

 

I'm guessing there's a code in the photo - something like right clicking and checking 'properties' or some such thing. Funny stuff though!

 

^^^ magic over. shame as it was funny.
