I'll show you what I got, it's loud , mean , fast and dirty

Started making the "Comfy seat" 

Fiberglassing the seat base on a layer of shaped celotex. 

I'm gunna try and layer it with Virgin thighs wrapped in otters pockets with a layer of Hungarian ocelot pelt on top. 

Mmmmm comfy comfy miles.

Well you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road . And you feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold. You pretend it dosnt bother you but just want to explode. ( original please Alex)

Usual shit. I've been flat out like a lizard drinking. 

But I have managed to put some time in the Chopper.  And because I've been busy , I also have a little cash to buy this offset (1 1/2") 

It's bloody huge. 

But it fits . And the chain lines up. 

Now I gotta make an outrigger for it otherwise I'll knacker the bearing. ( too much torque , increased but a long lever) 

But I also spent a happy Sunday making a break calliper mount from an old sprocket , a rear brake torque arm . And doing some more to the sissy bar. 

But I did have a few hours where I just sat looking , stareing , thinking " oh fuck me , what to do next . What do I have parts for and how can I get around this " . 

Sometimes you just have to make a list . 

For me it's the only way I can see a way forward. 

Kicked like a mule and bit like a crocodile

I spent a little time filling the tunnel at the front of the tank , having raised it. 

With a little filler it should look like it grew there

Also started making the sissy bar with 16 mm stainless. Bent using a butane torch a tub of brute force and a whole bucket of ignorance . ( it looks bigger than it is , due to the small shed and photo angle) 

Torches blazed and sacred chants were frased , as they start to cry hands held to the sky.

I've been flat out buisy with work the last few weeks . So buisy that I haven't had time to build my chop. So here are some bike porn. 

Above is a photo Capt Buggernuts took whilst tripping over to Germany with our good mate Baggystench . It was taken in L & L choppers in Holland. 

This is a cool Sporty with a very short Exausty. 

This GTX built by a fella on Facebook ( I can't find his name right now but when I do I'll pass it on as he's pretty bloody good ) 

Found it. 

Roel sheffers ( Sheffers Enginereing. ) 

An finally bellow . My chop. 

My engineere friend finished moving the sprocket carrier inboard . So this weekend I fixed the rear wheel in place and worked out the chain offset( 1 3/4 " ) and iced the mudguard in place. Now I can get on with the rest as I can check that I don't put stuff in the way of the chain. 

Shut up you talk too loud.

It's hot and sunny get out and get lairy.

It's Not Very Far Away . Takes About Half a day, If We Travel by Dragonfly

This is Rich's chop . He built it last year and finished it just befor we rode to the Nurenburg ring and back. As all in tested projects it had a few Teathing problems on the way. We stripped them Feckin carbs a lot , in the rain. But I had had a go and it was Quick , handled well and felt solid. I did piss myself laughing when we found the longest cobbled road in Antwerp, watching Rich bounce about on his little seat.

Well after braking his foot ( We look like a right pair of invalids) he has stripped , painted tinkered and rebuilt. And it's looking bloody DapperDan. 

He got a friend ,Pete Weller to make him up this lovely stainless toast rack . 

Check out his blog http://heroesofcustom.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

Its a new blog so it's worthy of support. So many are giving up "the Blog" due to The fact that it's a little more work . 

I like blogs there a little bit "magazine " too much stuff on line is Short and Sweet, like everybody attention span has dwindled.

Sunrise Start Of Another Day, Sky High 6000 Miles Away . Woke up in an Amazing State , Don't Know How Long ive Been Awake.

Mr pete of county Chocolate finished my yolks for me and they look splendid. After cooking the bottom yolk on 160 deg for 1 hour and freezing the stem I bashed the crap out of the two items till they " fit like your mum in your dad" as a French man says. 

Pete really has done a lovely job so once I had pieced it all together I stood back for a view. "I was so satisfied, deep down inside like a hand in a velvet glove. " 

It's long and has the stance that I'm diggin. 

I even dug the old mudguard out of the hedge and widened it an I recon it will do the job very nicely indeed. 

I then I had time to put a tempory seat ( made from overalls ) and sat on it and made BLoooom BLOOOMMM noises. 

You Are Not What You Own . you are what you build

See that back wheel ain't that big...

It's just on there to see what ducking around is required to line up the drive chain. 

I did Finnish early today so I made ( part made an oil tank. Chuffed as a hound with two dicks in a kennel full of bitches.

Blast from the past.

I don't know weather you have been with my blog for so long or have the memory not distroyed by drink an drugs but 2 years ago I built a frame for a friends lad. 

Well this is the result . 

I can't claim any kudos for design . Dowie gave me the photos and dims of something that he had seen and I did what I could to make it. 

I haven't actually heard that this bike was built from him. ( a friend took the picks) maybe he had to dick around with it after . I know the engine mounts were a bit thin, so I'm assuming he had to redo them. 

I'm glad to see it finished though and there are some lovely details that he had put on it. 

Got an itch in my cosmic pocket.

Swedish chop PT1. 

Well it's a start.
