VERY COOL

 This was in the garden of a house i was working in..

AND I THOUGHT ENGLAND WAS COLD!

 It was the big Dutchman's Birthday (him on the right) so we all got pissed. But Mr MOTORHEAD (Yuka) out partyd everyone but drinking all night and was still awake, playing very loud, Iron Maiden at 10am...

 It's a good job that the hospitality was warm as the rest of Holland is bloody FREEZING.

LOOK OUT HOLLAND

I'm coming

EDOUARD MARTINET The coolest thing ive seen for ages

Today a friend made me aware of this amazing Frenchman. Edouard Martinet.

 This guy makes sculptures using scrap. He dosn't bend or shape anything he waits untill he has found just the right part and its mostley bolted together.

 The coolest thing is looking at the insects and thinking "Fuck thats a rear light from a car making up the body of that Mantis" (above). Or the the Grasshopper, at the top made from bicycle forks, brake levers and brass handles from drawers..
He has an exhibistion in London At the "Stradmore contemporary" on Nov27.

KUSTOM MAGAZINE

 My lass coverd her bedroom wall with lots of my magazines. I didn't mind, as am glad there aren't posters of  crap boy bands.

Most of the mag's she used were "Kustom mag"
This Is a bloody great magazine but its in French this dont bother me but i dont speak French.
Nice eye candy though.

 Check it out @ http://www.kustommag.com/

SIR DUKE

 Finally finnished welding the petrol tank today.
It took bloody ages , but i think it will be fuel tight (i fuckin hope it will)

 And it's strait...

BEWARE !

It has come to my attention that a Club in England is on the rise. 
This club has been around since before i can remember but they have been slowly gathering support.
I heard a report on the radio that the Devon alliance alone comprises of 192 chapters...


The most Dangerous thing is the way that they have just slipped in "under the radar". The way in which they have achived this is by not displaying thier colours, like other clubs, but if you know what to look for you can spot them a mile away.
 They have been honing there technics for centuries, as a result the "Iluminati" have been pushed out of power and now this elite group call the shots.
 Beware they may catch you un-awares. You may think that you are buying an Eccles cake and a cup of Earl Grey but when you get the bill you will soon realise that you are supporting a nation wide cartel.

Don't be fooled by their demure apperance, if you are caught off your guard (all it takes is a wrong look or a swear word, in ear shot) then you may get a beating with an umberrella . Or if  your'e really unfortunate you may be subjected to " A sit-down" in a comfy chair, accompanied by a long story that contains no sense or information what-so-ever and you will not be allowed to leave untill you have eaten your weight in boiled sweets and T'cakes.

So, What do you need to look out for?
1st .. Dyed hair.
Look for purple, blue, pink or bright white hair.
2nd.. Uniform
This is trickier as there can be two distinct styles. 
Either look for really bright shades of Blue, Yellow, Green and Brown all mixed together or worn with utter disregard as to weather they clash or not.

Or there is the various shades of Grey.
Both are equally dangerous.

The Name this Group goes by is...

The W.I.
Or the Woman's Institute.
 Enter a Tea tent at your own peril.

MY OLD FZ750

 My Yam FZ750 cost me £600. It was standard but still did 1/4 mile in 11.56 sec (It was fast as fuck)... I pulled all the fairing off and painted it MATT BLACK. 
Over the years that i owned it it evolved into a mingin but brilliant ratbike.
It took me across Europe and back a few times.
It eventally died when the chain snapped and killed the engine.
Some bikes hold a special place in your hart and this was mine...R.I.P  The best bike i've ever owned. 

 Ive since read that according to DVLA, there are only 11 left on U.K roads. That means that they are rearer than Pre- unit Triumphs (i guess). "FUCK!! why did i kill it????"

COOL STUFF (sort of)

 Vehnicular Railway (train on a fucking big hill) , Babacombe.

 The coolest caravan ever.

STIHL CHEEKY LADY

A friend of mine gave me the new STIHL calender ......
So EVERY month from now you will get the new CHEEKY LADY and at Christmas you will get an extra one since you have missed CHEEKY JANUARY.

REALLY BLOODY OLD

 Mrs Oily, Me and my lass Jo went for a stroll after she had finished school today.
We had a poke around Poundsgate on Dartmoor. This place is about 10 min's drive from our house and it's bloody mind bendingly cool. It is a big iron age village (about 600BC, i'm not to sure so ill have to look it up).
It's a walled village with the remains of, about, 20 round houses and this very cool gate(bellow)

There is a pub called "The Warren House Inn". It is the remotest pub in England and has a very cool legend.... The fire in there has never gone out, the pub was even taken apart and rebuilt but the fire never went out..... If the fire goes out it's bad luck apparently..
We drank some beer there, IT WAS GOOD.

BUILDING HOUSES

 Worked hard this week putting up a house that we had built near Cheltenam.
We used a brilliant crane that was a 1970's Bedford.
When i first saw it my hart almost stopped. I thought there was no way it would be strong enough but it was bloody brilliant. Driven by an old bloke with so much mechanical knowlage and love for old trucks, that he had rebuilt and nursed it through most of it's life.
"Gently On"

 The sun does come out in England sometimes.

The finnised house was 6.8 meters by 9.8m 

I LOVE MY SHED

 So much so i spent another day and a bit pissing around with my Duke .
Well i do have to sort all the teething prob's before i start racing in April. 
So today i fabricated the fuel tank.

 Good job i only tacked it together cus ,amounst all the other shit floating around in my damaged brain, I forgot to oriantate the bolt holes in the top so it sat in the tank cover on the piss.
At first i thought "Fuck it! You wont see it."

 But I decided to leave it be and go for a walk instead. 
Good job to, as I decided that i had better sort it right other wise in the future every time someone says "How does that work?" 
I'll lift the tank and be embarrassed because it's on the piss...

This picture wasn't today as i forgot my camera , but you get the general idea.

FROM THE BIG DUTCHMAN... CHEERS . SHOVELPOWER!!!!!
