Lock Wire as Art

The blokes on the ground must feel so much safer wearing hard hats.

And steel toed boots!

Dont forget the high vis; last year the powers that be insisted on long sleeves and long pants. Apparently, high vis is bulletproof and protects from sharp objects as well; heat exhaustion, not so much. Nobody makes vented high vis, or at least not back then. It's really fun when it gets past 40c.

I was working on a building that was next to a brand new site. It had orange hazard fence, orange diggers, orange scrapers, orange clay.
Every now and again you could just about see a man wearing an orange vest…
I spoke about it to a mate at the pub, he said “yeah, I was on that site, the H&S nazi told me I wasn’t allowed to wear my yellow hi viz raincoat without an orange vest on top”
Don’t get me wrong, there’s been huge improvements on building sites, and a big culture change, but there’s still a few that take it too far and give the whole safety push a bad name

Try working for the mining industry in the Pilbara West Oz. There's no common sense in safety I was once told.

Here's Eric with his Egli framed 750 at my garage in Fulham London. 1984
Later at one of Slater weekends. He sold that 750 and brought the triple.
Last saw him maybe 4 years ago at the Dumbleyung pub for one of our gatherings.
He hasn't changed, still a piss head.
Piet, that's Andy's 750 you restored for him.

Good photo of Eric in his natural habitat, with a beer in each hand. I spy a California license plate on the SFC. Am I the only one to drop it?

And while talking about fairing screens, the one on your SFC looks particularly low, Rob (assuming the Cal plate is yours).

That's the original screen Q. they were all low. Most replacements I see are too high. When you talk to your screen guy tell him that I want a bubble so that I can cut my own shape.

Dave, I dropped the SFC twice when I was in California and you once in West Oz. Not bad considering the speeds we road and levels of intoxication.
