    Looks like you were using one of they skinny cutting discs. Did it didnt bleed much ?

    Ive got a decent scar on my wrist from when I was an apprentice using a 9 inch grinder with a grinding wheel.
    I remember looking at the big gash in my flesh and wondering why it wasnt bleeding.
    Glad they got banned, they were dangerous fuckin things. I saw a boilermaker removing the guard on a 9 inch grinder and fitting a drop saw blade in it cos he couldnt reach with the 9 inch wheel.  That didnt end well. He was wearing a suede welders jacket but when the blade exploded it went through the jacket and they had to dig all the broken bits out of his guts in the hospital.

    Yup, skinny one
    Barely bled, I was more concerned about how much bone I’d taken out. 
    Hoping the photo stops someone else from being a fucking tool as well.

    Good for you - it works for me. Happy to be left in the past in this regard.

    I had 5k of Harley vouchers so it didn't actually hit my wallet. The guys at Gasoline Alley also had easily the best price, which knocked hundreds off retail.

    I did the same but for about 2 years until I found someone who was good enough to do things right.  Nothing wrong with a duct tape seat....they are hard wearing and waterproof.

    Dunno about that, but good enough to get by on.
    Still mulling over a sprung saddle idea, reducing the need to strip enough stuff off to take it to my mates place, the Yam thumper MX frame maker to have bungs for spring bases and hinge welded on.
    Reckon I can use a couple of small spherical joint rod ends bolted side by side through the tongue on the frame that locates the front of the current seat for the hinge, and try a Kong dog toy for the spring. The one my dogs have is red, but do you think that'll stop me stealing it while they're asleep?

    I'm thinking your thinking is damn near a thought out thinking bordering on a plan 😁
