ANTI TAMPER LAW OVERTHROWN

 If you like any of these bikes dont worry you can still build one....
The STUPID law that the EU was trying to pass to stop us from modifying our bikes has been over-turned. 
Infact if its a new bike under 47 BHP you wont escape the new anti- tamper law ( it dont make sense, the law is suposed to stop people from making their bikes unsafe... So apparently if you make a bike unsafe with a big, powerfull motor then it will be safer than a bike under 47 BHP ???)
Compleet BULLSHIT as normal bnt if you like old bikes or big bikes you'll be ok for a while.

NEW TYRE

 After what seems like years of rain we have finally had a few days of bright, dry weather. But it's got bloody cold and icey. Still i prefer that than Rain.

Then the tyre for my flat-track Duke. A new tyre isn't normally cause for a cellebration but this is the first "race only" part i've ever bought (apart from black visors and loud exhausts, but everybody gets them).
This is a front tyre??
They come in wierd sizes that mean shit.. But basically its a big square shaped thing about 160mm wide .
You then squeeze it on to a 2 1/4 inch rim then the tyre becomes nice and round and about 120mm wide. Once ive put it on my rim i can see what forks i can use. Then i can get on with working out the frame geometry and Crack open the angle grinder.

MY LEFT OR YOUR LEFT??

Sorry a bit of a cock up on the last post..
Clays truck is the one on his left..That's our right..
Right!

CLAYS' KICK ASS TRUCK

 This is Clays truck on the left..
I think its bloody cool, he thought i was having problems finding things to blog but i dont think he realises my love of all things tatty (He has spent a large amount of time and done a load of work on it, it's only tatty on the surface).

The coolest thing about the "States" is even the recovery trucks are HARDASS..

I'M BACK

I'm back on line, so the first thing i did was find a picture of a nice bike....

COOL SHIT

 After 8 months since we had to leave our house, after a fire wrecked it, we are moving back tomorrow.
 I wont have internet for a week so there wont be a lot of blogging for a while. So here is some COOL SHIT. 
Above is a bloody great gate that C'Bass made for a customer in Cornwall. (there are 4 more small gates as well, all similar to this one .This is about 5feet high and 10 foot long and it weighs a lot).

 Anna Fur Laxis in her best pasties and vigazil....

 Isambard Kingdom Brunell.. His dad was German, he himself went to collage in France but i am proud to call him British. It just proves that we are all people that are from all over the world, where ever you live (it's all the same). He also has a big hat and great "Chops"..

 Very scary puppets that i saw filling a massive barn in New England.
It was ran by a company called "The Bread Puppet Theater". A puppet show that was really political and quite a bit hippy-ish.
Looked bloody cool. They had shrines in the woods dedicated to all the dead puppetears, it was a bit scary..

The BEST shovel in the world EVER. Thankyou Alex.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS???

The only problem i can see is that you can't possibly concentrate on riding a bike and  having sex at the same time..

NOT ON EVERY SUNDAY

 Yesterday Pat and me drove all the way to Notingham (250miles) to learn how to ride Flat-track.
Peter Boast, racer of  everything on two wheels and bloody top bloke, with a team of very talented riders taught us mear mortels the art of going sideways. 
It cost 140 Quid and was worth every bean. 
Bikes were included and it was held indoors so weather wasn't an issue (so of coarse the sun was shining).

We donned leathers and

Steel shoes and rode untill my leg felt like it would fall off. 

I now have a limp and the grin of an idiot.

Next step is to finish my bike and start racing.

My photos are crap but you can check the next MCN as they were there and they were shore to take better snaps.

MANYANA

Tomorrow i will be learning to do this (i hope)...
I am so excited  i think i may Fart..

SR500

My friend in Oz sent me this pic' of a very cool SR500.

 This is what they are suposed to look like ! 
I used to work on One belonging to a bloke that was on the run cus he had shagged a pikies bird.
It was a bloody awful and boring thing to ride (thats probbely why he chose to ride a pikies bird insted). I broke the headlamp whilst working on it and it cost me a fortune because it's a wierd size 9" i think.

 Here are more SR500's but i recon they would be way more fun to ride.

This one is my favorite.

No that last comment was a lie ...This is my favorite.

COOL

I saw this sculpture in the gardens of a house that we built. First i thought it was a plane then i realised it must be a bird maybe a swift or something. Either way it's very cool.
Im working my ass of this week in Cornwall so the blogs will be a bit slow, but on Sunday i'm going to be taught how to go left, very fast around a dirt track. Keep posted. 

DUKE

 Heating bashing and shaping.
I needed a sand bag so i used an old welding glove, 10mins on the sewing machine, 1 bag of sand and Hey Presto..

HOT ROD!!

FRIDAY

I love my job... But the week has been , well,,,, challenging. 
It's the weekend now so time to sink a few beers and look forward to some "Shed time"..
