Thought i might as well get rid of this bike, since it has done nothing but sit around. I figured since the first delorean sort of failed, i would start again, and create another, better rendition.

Basically i switched out the bars, Neck, Rear wheel, seat and seat clamp. Everything else remained the same. Oh yeah, the headbadge too!

I think it turned out wonderful.

Guess who the buyer was....

<<<<<<<



:mrgreen:



It has been under constant modification since I bought it, playing around with different stems, bars, grips, and everything else. Im kind of sorry to say it doesnt look as sleek anymore, but it suits my needs better. I'll create a new thread for it to show progress. I have more plans for it.


FYI, Dingo can sure build a bike. This is one solid and smooth riding coaster. 8)


It may also be seen in a major motion picture as well. Details in the upcoming thread.....
 
This is the new build thread.

They are filming a new action/ suspense thriller in SE michigan called Jinn (to be released around Christmas). While riding through my downtown area, I ended up on set for the new movie. They were filming a night car chase scene through the tight city streets. The area in which I was in was within camera shot, and the car sped by/ did donuts in front of me (literally just feet away) numerous times. I was casually sitting on the bike the entire time. There is a slim possibility both the bike and I will be in the background for a second or two during this chase scene.

Here is some good quality shots of the action (not filmed by me):

This is what I saw. Unfortunately all I had was my cell phone, so I apologize for the crappy footage.

I witnessed 10-15 or so takes before getting bored and going home, all from different points of view. But my cell phone takes such crappy video I didnt bother to film any more.

I did have to agree to "give up all rights to my likeness in the motion picture Jinn being filmed on this location" before I could enter the set. So there is a tiny possibility your old bike may be seen on film. :mrgreen:

In the second and third videos, the camera is just on the other side of that buildings corner behind that small black fence/ rail setup. It was facing down the street so it could shoot the car driving away.

It is the traditional story of the Jinn. The west twisted and molested the Jinn into the friendly gift giving Genie. But the original story is much more sinister and grim. A Jinn is an evil spirit that lives in objects (including, but not limited to, lamps). It feeds off of people by granting them their wishes. However most of the wishes granted arent exactly what the person wants.


Example:

A Jinn approaches a greedy business man and asks him what he desires. The greedy business man asks for a million dollars in his account by the end of the week. The Jinn accepts. Said business man's mother, at the same instant, is preparing to fly to see him via airline. She decides it would be a good idea to sign her son as the beneficiary on the back of the ticket in case something happens to her en route. She boards the plane, it takes off, it explodes, she dies, the airline deposits one million dollars into the business mans account as restitution, wish = granted.


There was a few low budget movies done in the 90's on the subject called "Wishmaster", but to my knowledge this is the first big budget rendition of the story.
