Progress on C'Bass's Beemer

Words byC'Bass 

Coz it's sunny I treated myself to a bit of outside muckybouty.  I even did some crap sprayin which I'm gonna have to sort out, but  best thing is that I've finally got the pipes set up and they look pretty cool tucked under the back of my gearbox. Just a bit of weldy weldy and they'll be sorted.
I keep thinkin I'm nearly done but it's the little bits which take the longest and I've now got a bucket full o those motherfuckers.....

Do we build bikes or do they call the shots ?

There are some preety cool projects happening at the mo. Pete's powervalve is coming together nicely, I had a gander at this last summer and it's very trick. 

C'Bass 's Beemer is coming together with the unplanned TZ seat unit. Dons words :-

"I think I can make this work, but any ideas about how I wanted this bike to look 2 months ago have fucked off out the window. It is now making all it's own decisions.."

COBUILT

Whilst building Brads shed last week we slipped along to see the fellas at Cobuilt . 

With a few beers and some crisps we sat around and talked crap for an hour or so.

Cheers guys it was very cool.

One very cool thing there was this ex Kenny Roberts race bike

Honda V5 all that's missing is a £11000 wiring loom

Lovely workshop

I've just built my friend Brad and Chris this lovely workshop . 

It's 4.8 m. X  3.6m . Fully insulated, and wrapped in larch (it will never need treating ) it's just waiting for a wood burner then the lucky buggers can spend every night in there pissng around with bikes. 

You could have one too . Just let me know. 

Get out there before it rains

Bloody wankers

That's it I ain't racing Pikes Peak this year . 

I got an email last night that said that I didn't have enough road racing experience . I've been racing on the road since I was 16 and that's harder than Pikes Peak as don't have to dodge busses , taxis and always be looking over your shoulder for coppers. 

Fuckers they may let me race next year . 

Maybe I'll let them let me race next year . If there lucky. 

OLD PHOTOS

I don't reall dig Twitter but I found a great site on there called

I love this one of Dolly, man she was , and still is , a real looker.
