Girls Aloud are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine too...you'd be surprised by the number of people who will actually fess up to this too if asked.
The Carpenters. I liked them as a wee kid. So as an adult I can listen to them as she had a beautiful voice.

Cant view the pics? Is it me? I will post some later of a couple of mine, yes I started to wire mine up as well (how sad) Got a few on the go, incl Barry sheene 77 bike which uses a Tamiya RGB500 but with a white metal, resin etch brass trans kit from studio 27, GSXr750 Yoshi with a transkit from studio 27, and collecting kits to make early 80's AMA racers incl VF750F spencer, Cb900/rs1000, Z1000/kr1000. Etc etc Just ordered some YZF/FZR750's, Rgv 500 schwantz, SR500, OW98 Like I said 'NERD'
hmm dunno why, i can view them..if its a problem for everyone and anyone is interested i'll repost in another thread.
See them ok now, bizarre. Are they the after market throttle cable guides? Look really nice, done a great job. Like the data logger connections and the hose wrap. If you build primarily bikes HLJ.com do some great reference books for 70's 2 strokes through to moto gp stuff all in japanes but great sources of reference to super detail. I now use bare metal foil for the fork stanchions as well as for hose clips with a small piece of plastic bar etc; but my feckin eye sight is getting worse. Is the motor done in Al Clad?
My guilty pleasure is some of the music I like. I'm not sure I'll confess to some of the artists just yet!
Mine is that I play a Trumpet. I play in a 'Big Band' which is only moderately geeky, but growing up in Brass Bands was REALLY geeky.
As we are on music, I love military bands, and the pipes always bring a tear to my eye. Had the pleasure once of seeing an old man playing the pipes in a small village outside of Caen. Only later I realised it was/could have been Piper Bill Millin
Cartoons. I love em. Not just the Hanna Barbara stuff, but also and mainly the late 70s, 80s and early 90s American stuff. Thundercats, Transformers, M.A.S.K that sort of thing. When actual animators had to draw each cell (not very well admittedly. I do have the first few original seasons of Scooby Doo somewhere. Not that is some quality stuff my friends
dude do you remember 'Battle of the Planets"? fkn loved it.. Transformers used to have me in tears of laughter with its 80's melodic metal soundtracks..all written by a session guy called Stan Bush...heres a little trip down memory...just for you Matt xx Stan Bush - Dare (From Transformers the Movie) - YouTube The Touch - Stan Bush (HD Restoration) - YouTube Thunder Cats Intro - YouTube remember getting home from school and watching this crap... what about He-Man with his bullshit moral at the end of each episode...??
Off topic but this is one of my all time favourite tv show themes that brings back so many memories of Sunday afternoons as a little kid...the only sound thats as disco is probably Starsky and Hutch. "CHiPs" Music - YouTube
Looking back...i wonder if that 2 minutes of music and bikes is why im a bike nut guitarist?? fkn hell...thats weird...in another life i might have been battling deceptocons...
