In between the velvet lines, there's a truth as hard as steal.

Last week I managed to hobble around in my shed long enough to make a ' hand operated clutch lever ' so that I can drive my Van. 
Today I mostly been making a walking stick, as that will be my next mode of transport after my crutches. 
It's supposed to be a Femur ( note the t100 exhaust valves) the fact that I feel the need to explain what it looks like means that I didn't do a great job . But the welds are nice and it does look very steampunk. And a damn site cooler than what they give you in hospital.
Soon I'm gunna be able to start on my Swedish Sportster.

Getting my head strait.

Im selling my flat-tracker. 
It's a YZF 450 and it's bloody perfect for racing. 
I was always planning on selling this bike once I had built my Triumph. 
Since my accident I have been deciding weather I will be racing Flat-track again. 
If  a broken leg was only one week of pain then I would be back on the track tomorrow but it ain't it's 7 weeks of a massively fucked up life so far , cancelled ride into Italy, a chopper that hasn't been built , clients that could go elsewhere and scratching by because I've had to find other bods to do my work for me. 
It sucks big time. 
I can't afford this to happen again so I'm not flattracking again . 
I know that I could have done this slipping off a curb or tripping on some timber, but the chances of it happening whilst tanking into a corner, flat out , fighting for the same small piece of muddy , slippy track as 12 other bods is much more likely. 
Mrs Oily ( bless her she has never asked me to stop even though this broken leg has fucked around her life aswell) suggested that I could just pootlle around the outside , but I know me and I can't do that . 

I'm keeping the Trumpet and may race it in another guise one day .

VMax

Me old mate Jimbo popped around today on his solid , big ass back tyre VMax. 
Reduiculasly wide back tyre and R1 forks but like all of his bikes it's bloody tidy , he's always been a neat fecker ( never coloured outside of the lines) ..
