Hi Everyone,

Love your work David, I am yet to use my faceplate and you have given me ideas.

OK, I Just want to clarify, the photos were not altered in any way except they were cropped down in size by trimming the backgrounds.
Here is another view:
and here is another clue:

Some forum members have sampled hor d'oeuvres off this Stanthorpe tray before

There is a suspicious looking sky-coloured section of a tree branch that at one point I thought indicated that a rope attached to the steering head area had been photo-shopped out of the photo, but if there has only been cropping then it can't be that.
Those wonderfully-presented funghi are a suitably cryptic clue

It's amazing at my work at the moment. There are currently 4 people out of 180 from my work renovating/restoring/de-basketing Yamaha TY twinshocks.
One bloke, over the past year or so, has brought this TY250 to a point where he feels comfortable riding it in public. I thought it looked pretty good so am posting his photos up here. There is another TY250 in one of the photos that he is still doing things to.

He must be mighty fussy. I'd be proud to have one that looked that good.

At work they call me "Mushroom" because I'm kept in the dark and fed on sh**. Are you referencing lack of sunlight? Or perhaps just the fact that you're a fun guy? I still think levitating bikes without a rider must be some sort of witchcraft.

Hi Everyone,

Yes I have been buying bikes, here is another one
Different I know but it's similar to the other one
So I am sharing these photos for you all to see
Where did I come from and who made Me........?

If you are curious as to why the KT appears to levitate
Simply look very closely at the photos and concentrate
I have learnt that if I don't know something, review what I know
When you work it out, be the first to say So!

OK I've seen it. I did need to blow the photo up though. Am I allowed to say what it is?

Ok Greg reckons I've got it but I reckon we shouldn't end the fun so soon.
I'm betting on Mark Keenan working it out

I'm fairly sure it didn't look this good when he got it. He is proud of it now

Well I took Davids advice, enlarged the photo, and found the skullduggery.

But just like that bloody chook; those bloody mushrooms have me befuddled.

Alastair.

There is not much room for mushrooms left in my normally empty mind. Was it something Alice would have eaten?

I've sent a PM to Greg. Levitating bikes is like something from a horror movie. I have some memories of a song about the six o'clock news called "Horror Movies". Would the singers of that be something you could hang it off?

I should have looked for engineering solutions before I thought of digital ones, or witchcraft.
