This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

There is absolutely nothing that you can't carry on a motorcycle
With a bit of ingenuity, a bit of gaffa tape and a healthy disregard for the Highway Code.

Such as a big bit of art and a duvet...

Excellent work
My personal best was a miniature peach tree. Had to be there really.

Aye, in the murky past
T'was a haunt of mine. How's it doing these days?

Not too badly
No bikey for me these days though, at least until I can afford to run one alongside a car!

I seem to recall you were into your sidecar racing?

You recall wrongly sir
But kudos for taking the punt.

Vietnam

The Vietnamese take the proverbial "biscotti" when it comes to two wheeled transportation. Whilst in Saigon 2 years ago I witnessed a guy transporting a full wardrobe on the back of his Honda scooter. He had his wife sitting pillion and his kid in the footwell too.

I'd have taken a photo but my camera was nicked two days earlier :(

And to think
that I get some very funny looks as I pootle along on my bike with my bass guitar, concealed in a more than adequate case, strapped to my back.

Just because I'm a bit little and the neck sticks really quite high above my helmet should be entirely irrelevant.
