switch off your mind once in a while...


the bmw... shinya couldn't get these front blinkers that he made a while ago out of his mind. he says when he sees them by themselves they are fine but they don't fit anywhere on the beemer. "wherever they are, they just destroy the overall flow," he says.

ベーエムヴェーのフロントのウィンカーがどうしても気になって仕方がないという木村氏。ちょっと前に作ったウィンカー自体は気に入っている。でも、車体に装着するとどうしても全体の流れをぶった切ってしまうと言う。様々な場所に付けてみたけど、どこに付けても変わらないらしい。


so he decided to get lid of them and re-create something different. however, he said he couldn't come up with any good ideas, which is unusual for him, but i think he deserves a break. he'll get a super great idea tomorrow, i'm sure.

ということで、このウィンカー逹は完全にボツ。新たに作り直すそうです。でも珍しく何もひらめかないらしい。ま、たまにはいいじゃないですか。頭を休めてくださいませ。明日にはきっと良いアイディアが浮かぶはずですから。(きっと日中の野暮ッティな用事で疲れ果てたんだと思う。)

Dear Ayu,

please tell Shinya these blinkers are really great. My favourite position at the beemer would be the cylinder head left and right - great but quite hot position for a blinker!

My second alternative for the use of your blinkers would be my 1975 Puch Moped here in Stuttgart, because the Puch has no blinkers (not TÜV necessary in 1975)! It would be a honour for me to ride with Shinya blinkers at my Puch MS50V here in Stuttgart ;-)

Greetings from Germany

Blinkers.
Troublesome and incongruous
They force themselves into one's design.
Disrupting and discordant.
Until at last they are accepted.

Keep up the good work fellas.

Interesting fact from Germany: not many words have the same meaning in English and German language: Blinker is such a word - blinkers (english) = Blinker (deutsch)
