From Vic's thread it looks like we landyachters have more than just landyachts in common. Seems we also like to have plenty of other toys as well, so lets see them!!

Since your a mate,I show you one. warning ,this bike should only be ridden with a small child on the back as pillion passenger. riding it alone makes you look a bit daft.

Trouble is Giz, they have to survive their childhoods first - with some of Pauls *inventions* it has been a close thing
Everytime I go away they get up to some mischief or other. One time they made a working scale model of a treboche and launched the kids barbie dolls down the length of the street! If that was not enough they all made costumes and dressed up in medievel clothing.
It can be a scary thing on the other end of the phone when your child says guess what we did today mum...

round here something that beautiful is a calthrop( double gee) magnet..
I picked up a nice bike today from a rubbish bin . full suspension,CrMo forks and rear, tires good and pumped up. nly needed a new deraileur .
the sweetest bit was that I saw it in the bin when I visited Crazy TRavs place in Kambalda, but he wasnt home and didnt see the bike i the bin for himself sorry cousin Trav , first in ,best dressed

Not as interesting as Pauls pic (that is way out there)

I have a yearning for a trike!! or a 4wd beach vehicle someone can come and get me from the botton of Sandy Point!!

Would this be any use to you Russell?


It's actually quite a bit of fun on it's own. Does about 50 kmh and I think you get a couple of hours out of a tank of juice. Bought this one out of Melbourne via ebay for $750 plus $250 delivery. (I think he touched me up on the delivery charge.)

One of the local mower shops here now has them for $950. I took the trouble to replace some of the bolts and washers on it for better quality high tensile. I will also be fitting a seat belt in the near future.

Cheers Cisco.

No. It is the Bundy Bombers Blokart Recovery Vehicle.

Not a bad little toy for the money. I was considering building a "Dirt Devil",

see www.diyden.net but when I started pricing components and assessing the time factors and likely problems with building, I had to stop to ask myself a question.

Where do I want to spend most of my time, in the workshop or on the beach? You know what the answer was.

Cheers Cisco

My home built kite buggy on Lake Lefroy (behind Speedway track)

Nice Bike! I was hoping we'd see some more petrol powered toys, here's mine

5ltr VK SS Brock Commodore

lol looks good Cisco!! No thats not when I bent the fork. It was the day I hit 83kph top speed, on a dead true wind run, still had about 18-24 inches sheet between the pulley whip and boom end, with a 2m sail drawing beautifully. Imagine if the wind had've been a bit further round??? All I do is wonder! Can't remember what the wind speed was but it was Blowin!!!!

For those into other Toys, there is a book called Big Boys Toys that is getting lauched in Nov. (I have no financial interest in this book). I have only seen a couple of draft pages. Paul with Vindicator (built by the fabulous Faze 5) is one of the boys featured with his toys

So hopefully later this year lots of people will see this and also want a big landyacht for their toy?
