"Double Watching," or as it's more colloquially known, "Double Wristing," is the intriguing practice of adorning two watches simultaneously. But why indulge in this dual-timepiece spectacle?

Why did I delve into the world of watch collecting? Well, it's a tale woven with a passion for timepieces and the allure of building a captivating collection. Once upon a time, I had a modest assortment of 4 or 5 watches that adorned my wrist. However, life led me to part ways with most of them, leaving only one faithful timekeeper by my side. Little did I know, this decision would later haunt me when my last remaining watch was pilfered from my possession after a mere year.

 And this is why our ACC levies keep going up and other motorists don't support motorcyclists like the us to... And it fucks me off big time.

A common question I get is, what riding gear do I use?  Now I have just upgraded/replaced my old gear for a mix of reasons, the first reason is my old leathers became to large for me. Yes you read and heard that right. I have lost a bit of weight over the last year (30Kg's to be exact, I was 105kg I am now 75kgs) and my current QuasiMoto riding leathers became to big. I literally swim in the trousers and the Jacket was a bit loose.

Click on the TAGS above for a quick search and sort of my sets.

I like Lego I can not lie... and while I am not what they call a purist, meaning I only buy Lego and nothing else... Not all models I have are Lego. (I will say if they are are Lego or not. Click the "Non Lego Blocks" tag above). I also have not taken photo's of all my models  and will put in an official image if I have not got a photo of my build. I will eventually take photo's of all my builds over time. Also I don't just collect the big black special official kits I also collect certain "City" and "Technic" and various other themed kits.

I do have one gripe the grinds my wheels though... Stop calling it "Legos", it is simply "Lego". Is it "Legos" or simply "Lego"? The Lego company, the mastermind behind this iconic toy, has a firm stance on this matter. They adamantly maintain that the correct plural form is "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO sets," treating "Lego" as an adjective rather than a noun.

The brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, small sets that can not be registered or non Lego sets. 

Current sets to be made are;
