Your bike in front of something different...

[Richard A Thackeray]

I have a brilliant idea for one, but, it's an 'hour +' ride to get to the location, through the centre of Leeds.... all for a 1/250th of a second
(or whatever 'shutter speed' the digital equivilant is)

Thus, it'll have to wait until I'm actually in the area
I certainly don't think it's been done, not on here at least, and I've not seen anything like it elsewhere, on any cycling related site/social nedia

Definitely nothing naughty/illegal (ie; not on the M1, or whatever)

Yes, just something about them
They look so small, & innocuous, particularly the 289, then it sets off...………….

Still a brutally fast car today, for a naturally aspirated engine

A 427 derivative held the (Guinness) World Record for fastest accelerating, production road car for a lot of years

Not sure what manufacturer/model any of them are?
Someone may?

Not so much as in front of, but 'On'


This is quite possibly the last untouched spoil-heap/muck-stack/slag-heap (dependant on where you live) in Yorkshire, if not the country
Untouched, as absolutely no attempts to landscape/grass it, etc...….

I think it may be from the Robin Hood Colliery, located at the opposite side of the (A61) Leeds - Wakefield road

Roughly 3 miles further south (towards Wakefield) than the 'Jaw-Bones' (above)

There's a ruddy great slag heap in Midsomer Norton in Somerset.

I know 'OddBall', & have been there quite a few times, & the 'Open Day' tours
I did have a set of images, including a van parked in the drag-bucket, to show the scale, but I can't find them on my (external) hard-drives, they may be somewhere on CDs?
