I'm sure you all know the rules by now  :smirk:

There will be a glittering prize (stickers) for the best. This is Mark of Cymarc Engineering (and Cymarc Bike Parts).  :crazy:

The money that final drive is saving me in heating this Garage is incredible.

Despite the cheery grin Marc was gutted the BM had to go back in for yet another repair... Still it could be worse - he could have two !

Marc's reaction on being told the mug handle was an optional extra.


(Nice to see the country of manufacture on the tank)
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Cymarc's attempt to branch out into the laser cutting logos didn't go entirely to plan.
First, the handle dropped off his mug when doing the BMW logo.
But it was what dropped off when he laser cut the VStrom logo on the polo shirt he was wearing that really made him grimace.

What an achievement, Mark has finally filled up his warranty loyalty card and received a branded mug. How long before that breaks as well?  :haha:

Mark celebrates the classic film -
"the good (the shirt),  the bad (the bike) and the ugly (himself)"
a nod to 'Clint' signified by the mug with no name (no handle).
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.
