SPORTSTER PT6

 LAST NIGHT I FINISHED MAKING THE DISC AND SPROCKET CARRIER .

 WHADUYA KNOW IT ACTUALLY FITTED, BUT THEN I REALLISED THAT I HAD DRILLED THE HOLES TOO BIG FOR THE DISC AND WHEN I REMEASURED I REALISED THAT IT WAS ALSO 5MM TOO THIN. SO I'VE ASKED THE ENGINEER TO MAKE ME ANOTHER SO THAT I CAN TRY AGAIN.

THE ENGINEER ALSO MADE ME SOME BITS SO THAT I COULD BLOCK THE HOLES ON MY TOP YOLK (FOR THE FZR1000) SO THAT I COULD RE-DRILL IT FOR MY HANDLE-BAR CLAMPS.

 NICE ARNT THEY

 HAMMERED IN SNUG, DRILLED AND VOILA. JUST NEEDS A BIT OF POLISH AND THAT'S ANOTHER JOB DONE.

 THIS IS THE TANK GRAFFICS THAT I TRYED OUT.
NOW THE SKULL IS STAYING BUT I DONT LIKE THE THING ON THE SIDE , SO ILL TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

WOW! 3000 VIEWS. JUST FOR THAT, THERE IS THIS.

SPORTSTER PT5

 I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A BIT PISSED OFF WITH THE CHOSE OF TYRES AVAILABLE FOR A 16" WHEEL, SO I HAVE BEEN AFTER A 17"RIM FOR MY HARLEY. I WAS AFTER A CBR 600 REAR WHEEL SO ASKED A FRIEND . "YEAH, I GOT ONE ILL DROP IT ROUND. YOU CAN HAVE IT FOR NUFIN"
WHAT HE DELIVERED WAS A FRONT WHEEL FOR A SUZUKI.....
I LOOKED AT IT AND THOUGHT " FUCK IT! IT MIGHT WORK." BUT I NEEDED TO MAKE SOME SPACERS FOR THE SPROCKET AND DISK.

I SPOKE TO AN ENGINEER AND HE SAID HE COULD MACHINE SOME BILLET SPACERS FOR ME BUT I SUGESTED THAT I DRILL THEM MY SELF TO SAVE A BIT OF CASH.

HE THEN CAME UP WITH A BRILLIANT SOLUTION FOR MARKING OUT THE HOLES. 

HE CUT A PIECE OF PERSPEX THE SAME SIZE AS THE SPACERS SO THAT I COULD SEE THE HOLES (UNDERNIETH) THAT I NEED TO MARK THEN TRANSFER ONTO THE BILLET.

SO.. ABOUVE YOU CAN SEE THE PERSPEX WITH THE HOLES IN.

ABOUVE YOU CAN SEE HOW MARKING THE POSITION OF THE HOLES IS NOW EASY.

THIS IS THE BILLET WITH TWO SET'S OF HOLES IN (ONE TO BOLT THE SPACER TO THE WHEEL, THE OTHER TO BOLT THE SPROCKET TO THE SPACER-THIES HOLES NEED THREADING YET TO ACCEPT THE BOLTS).
I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED WEATHER A FRONT WHEEL WILL DEAL WITH THE TORQUE NEEDED FOR A BACK WHEEL, BUT I RECON ILL FIND OUT SOON. I HOPE IT GOES OK.
IN CASE YOUR'E WONDERING .. IT WONT STAY 80'S PURPLE AND IT WILL MATCH THE 3 SPOKE FRONT WHEEL( AS IN THE WHEEL ON THE FRONT OF MY MOTORCYCLE THAT ACTUALLY IS MEANT TO BE THE FRONT WHEEL OF A MOTORCYCLE)

IF YOU FEEL THAT 'THE HARDER YOU WORK, THE LESS YOU GET'.THEN YOU MAY UNDERSTAND THIS.

YOU THOUGHT YOUR BIKE WAS FAST?

LOVELY LADY

IT MAY BE A BIT SPERADICK THAT I CAN POST ON MY BLOG AS I AM MOVING TO A NEW HOUSE THAT DOSN'T  HAVE INTERNET.
SO HERE IS A CHEEKY LADY TO KEEP YOU WARM  TILL THEN.
(she was spotted on a toilete wall in Portugal).

BOBS BALLS

 JUST THOUGHT ID POST A PICKY OF BOBS' BALLS

FUCK FUCK FUCK

SORRY I HAVENT POSTED ANYTHING . BUT I JUST HAD A LOVELY HOLIDAY IN PORTUGAL
ILL POST AGAIN WHEN IVE GOT MY SHIT TOGETHER.
SEE YOU SOON

STYLE???

 NEXT TIME YOU YELL, OUT OF YOUR CAR WINDOW "PULL YOUR EFFIN TROUSERS UP.." YOU MUST REALISE THAT MAYBE THEY CANT HELP IT.!

THANKS TO JAN AND CAMILLE FOR THESE.

HAIR CUTS

 I THOUGHT THAT AFTER POSTING A PUNK BAND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO APPRECIATE A GOOD MOHEKAN.
THAN I THOUGHT THEIR'S NOTHING BETTER THAN A MULLET "BUSINESS AT THE FRONT, PARTY AT THE BACK."

 THE RAMONES ALWAYS SPORTED A QUAFFERED BONCE THAT WOULD LOOK ABSURD ON ANYBODY ELSE.

 THEN THERE WAS HAIR METAL.... WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED THERE?

Fugazi - GREED! (if you wandered what" Fugazi" was this is it...

COUVERD IN SHIT BUT CURED WITH SHEDTIME

 TODAY I CAME TO THE CONCLUTION THAT NOT HAVING A FRONT MUDGUARD IS A SHIT IDEA..
I WENT FOR A QUICK RIDE TO DO A ERAND ON MY TRUMPET AND THREE THINGS HAPPENED.

• MY EXHAUST WAS BLOWING AND THRETENING TO FALL OF THE ENGINE.
• THE BLOODY OIL-PRESURE ISUE, THAT IVE HAD SINCE THE DAWNING OF TIME, REARED ITS BLOODY HEAD AGAIN.
• AND I GOT COUVERED IN SHIT (BECAUSE ALLTHOE IT WASN'T RAINING, HAVING NO FRONT MUDGUARD MADE IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS RAINING FROM BELLOW.

PETE YOU MAY RECOGNISE THE HELMET BECAUSE YOU SOLD IT TO C'BASS BUT LUCKILY IT DIDN'T FIT HIM SO HE GAVE IT TO ME!

 I MAY HAVE HAD A CRAP MORNING BUT I SPENT TIME IN THE AFTERNOON TO PISS AROUND WITH IDEAS FOR A PAINT JOB FOR MY SPORTSTER. THE. TANK AINT FINNISHED BUT IM HAPPY SO FAR.
THIS I A BIKE I USE ALL THE TIME IN ALL WEATHERS SO I'M NOT GUNNA SPEND HOURS TRYING TO BUILD A SHOW BIKE, I'M GUNNA BUILD SOMETHING THAT WORKS AND THAT IM NOT SCARED TO GET FILTHY.

THIS IS AN IDEA I TRYED FOR THE SIDE OF THE TANK AND OTHER PANNELS.
I PLAYED AROUND WITH WEARING THROUGH THE PAINT TO SHOW BITS OF PRIMER BUT I THINK I WONT BOTHER WITH THAT IDEA. I LIKE THE SPEED BLOCKS THOE.
YOU CAN SEE THE GUITAR STRAP THAT I USED FOR INSPIRATION FOR THE SKULL ( THAT   AND MY MATE ANDY)

C'BASS'S BEEMER

 C'BASS (OR DON AS HIS PEARENTS CALL HIM) HAS FINALLY GOT HIS BEEMER ON THE ROAD. I THINK IT'S A 650! WITH A GS 750 TANK  AND A HOME MADE SEAT UNIT AND FZR1000 BRAKE CALLIPERS.

 HE GOT RIGHT UPSET BECAUSE I CALLED IT A RAT BIKE ( THERE IS NO SHAME IN OWNING A RAT BIKE , WHY USE NUTS AND BOLTS WHEN CABLE-TIES AND GAFFER TAPE WORK JUST FINE?) SO AS YOU CAN SEE HE HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT WITH THE HAMMERITE AND POLLISH TO GET IT BACK TO A GLEEMING EXAMPLE, THAT DOES NOT DEFY HIS PUNK ROOTS....

 HE HAS HAD HIS SHARE OF HEADACHES, AND BALLACHES  TO GET THIS FAR. INCLUDING OIL PRESURE PROBLEMS, BRAKE PROBLEMS, CARB PROBLEMS AND THE USUAL "IVE HAD ME TANK BLASTED AND NOW IT'S FULL OF SHIT" PROBLEM.

 HERE IS THE LUCKY MAN WITH HIS NEW M.O.T.
WELLDONE! IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DOO ON 'WEAK TEA AND SHANDY'.

ALL SORTS OF SHIT

 THIS IS THE PREDETOR VERSION`OF THE ALIEN BIKE I POSTED THE OTHER NT(THANKS JAN FOR THE PICK') I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT IT'S A MINGIN BIKE.
SO HOW ABOUT THIS GUZZIE BELOW?

 OR HOW ABOUT SOME BLOKE IN A (HIGHLY PROTECTIVE) LUMBERJACK SHIRT AN GOGGLES GOING HELL FOR LEATHER ON A VINCENT?

 OR IF EITHER OF THOSE DONT FLOAT YOUR BOAT THEN HOW HOW ABOUT NURSES WITH GUNS...?

FLEETWOOD MAC

STEVIE NICKS WAS JUST WHAT THE BAND NEEDED TO PUT THEM ON THE MAP AFTER PETER GREEN LOST THE PLOT, SHE WAS EXTREEMLY BEAUTIFUL AND HAD AN INCREDIBLE VOICE.
BUT FOR ME (PRE STEVIE NICKS ) FLEETWOODMAC SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN CALLED "PETER GREEN" BECAUSE HE WAS AMAZING.

ALIEN

MARK SENT ME THIS COOL PICK' OF A TOTALLY MENTAL BIKE.
IVE SEEN PLENTY OF PREDETOR  STYLE BIKES BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ALIEN IVE SEEN.
