Title: Bored I guess
Post by: jerry on September 16, 2010, 04:06:20 pm

Sitting here at work this arvo with nothing else to do I got thinking about the diversity of raw matrials used in the production of VMX bike. Here's what I came up with;
Mild Steel
Aluminium / Alloy
Titanium (if your Ji)
Rubber Brass
Plastic (but not much!)
Fibreglass (if Pre 70)
Vinyl
Leather
Paint
Petrol
Oil(s)
Ceramic (think about it!)
Compressed air (I'm getting desperate!)
Stailess steel
Copper
Bronze
Grease
Anything I forgot? Cheers Jerry

Then I got thinking about the production processes and energy used to convert all those raw materials into usable bits. Cheers Jerry
