RD 350 LC

Moiks old LC with powervalve wheels. this bike is the reson why
i first said "hello" to him and then the knock on effectis why i
know my friend Richie and my wife.....
He looked so cool with rear-sets, army bag and a ,man size, chicken on the back .

 If you have never owned one you'll think it's only a 350 that "tossers in jeans, bomber jackets and Simpson helmets" ride... If you have owned one you'll know that they are fast and scarey and that it's fun to be a "tosser in a Simpson helmet and bomber jacket."

Adam Varns LC special. It was the TITS (shame about the quality of the photo)
He was a big man, but with a tank full of "Avgas" it was fast as fuck.
Oh that was after it blew a hole in the piston on the way to the Isle of White.
He had to suck little bits of metal out of the crank-case with a straw in
the carpark of the Little Chef, then he rebuilt it and thrashed it
around the island..

 All thies photos are from Moik a good friend and rider of LC's.( Yamaha RD350 'or 250' LC). 

My old LC before Moik sold it to me and way before i nailed it into
the side of a GS850 at 70mph.

Moiks new LC.
Suzuki RGV wheels and swingarm and very blue paint.
I haven't had a go on it Yet!!!

CHOPPERS

 Working on site in Cornwall at the moment so here are some pics i stole (because i like them)

TAKING THE "CITY SLICKERS" FOR A DAY OUT

 It's not exactly "Resevoir dogs" is it? 
My friends called by so we could go for a ride today, so i took them to a hill climb, near where i live. I think they enjoyed it as all they did was moan.. Thats not totally true but they will definatly not be joining the "ramblers association".
There was some bloody cool stuff and some compleetly crap stuff that tryed to make it up the hill, the best thing I saw was a Hillman with a 4 litre engine nail that hill, it sounded bloody awsome aswell.

After wards we we went for a ride to the pub,,,,,, BRILLIANT. 

ACE

I just saw this in the background on "The IT Crowd" and thought it was ACE. I am currently trying to get my self a print. check here

MAKE THIS YEAR VERY COOL

Check more of thise brilliant photos HERE

Remember when you first got into riding bikes, or surfing, or horses, or climbing mountains and everything about that new life was so exiting all you could think about was the next time you would be out there?
 You would trawl magazines and gain as much knowlage about your new life and aspire to be the best you can?
This year instead of just riding to work (still do that) use your bike (or what ever you hobby is) as it was originally designed. Use it as a way to be free and live.
Be excited by everything again ,like this lad above, even if your helmet is so big you may as well be wearing a cardboard box. 
HAPPY NEW YEAR .

DUKE FLAT-TRACKER

 I had a full day in the shed yesterday, so i managed to finnish the frame for my DUKE.
Looks allright i reckon and it gives the steering loads more clearance.

Then today i was pissing about trying to get a set of forks and yolks to fit. 
After heating and beating i managed to get the steering stem out of some FZ750 yolks. Then after some Freezing and heating i managed to fit the stem to some SLABSIDE yolks ( triple trees if your American). Bloody result i just need some bearings then my forks will fit. 
Only problem is that the tank i made dosn't fit the new frame. Oh well, i can sort that.

CORNWALL

 Just had a couple of sneaky days in Cornwall. 
About 2 hrs drive away is the coast famous for Smuggeling and Tin Mining. In fact the inventor of the "high pressure steam engine-was built by Richard Trevithick (a Cornish man) also builder of the first full scale steam powered locomotive.

 The sea was stormy and mingin but i still managed a surf.
I cant remember the last time i went for a surf. It scared me a little as my lack of fitness made the possibility of "Puking my guts out in the line up" quite high. But i'm still alive and it feels good to have sea water running out of my nose once again.

But mostley we spent our time in the PUB......

NO YOU CANT HAVE ONE (not yet anyway)

I finished writing my book, but i still dont have a publisher for it yet. But i printed and bound a few copies for my family. It was a major ball ache but i'm preaty chuffed with the results. 
If i find a publisher ill let you know, other wise ill just have to make more. But its' so time consuming ill have to charge £25 and know body would want to pay that.

INDIAN FLAT-TRACKER

 A very good friend of mine gave me a copy of this print, for Christmas (Thankyou Paul).
I dont know Who it is , but ive done some poking around on the internet and I think it may be 
Ed Kretz.

 This is Ed Kretz 
Ed "Iron Man" Kretz Raced between the late 30's and 1940's and had many victories including 
 The Savannah 200mile road race 
the Daytona 200
And the Langhorne 100 mile.
Imagine racing for 200 miles on an Indian Scout.

 To me the bike looks very similar to the picture i got but 'Kretz' is running the No 38, where as on my picture the bike is No 31??
Does anybody Know  any different?

 Either way searching the internet and finding all these great pictures 
is bloody inspiring.

I love the pic of him with the 
Lovely Lady below, although
that may be his son.
