L.E.D. STOP AND TAIL LIGHT

 During a conversation (via Blog) with Rock Solid Motorcycles. I realised that it might be cool if I shared a cool bit of info with every one.
If you need a small back light for your Chop you can buy a nice neat light (the kind they hang all around a lorry cab), this shouldn't cost you much.
The thing is that the light will only have a single filament bulb fitting.
So buy a single filament LED BULB  and a packet of assorted resistors . both of these should cost the same as a 6 pack of beer (deliverd).
Then if you solder the resistor in-line on the main backlight feed then bypass that resistor with the brake light feed, JUST LIKE THE LOVELY DIAGRAM ABOVE, then you should have a great looking a perfectly brilliant stop and tail light.
Try using a 100 ohm resistor , if like me you arnt a boffin then try a few different ones untill your happy.

I got this jem of information from an American bike mag called The Horse (back street choppers).
I thought it a bit scary wireing resistors into my loom but i Did it on my Triumph and it works great. plus you only have two wires to your back light ( one if you earth it through the body)

 The bottom pic' shows the break light on. The photos don't really show much. but you get the general idea.

DUCATI FLATTRACK pt3

 I finished work early today as i had to take myself and the kids to the dentist.
Which ment i could go home and beat the crap out of some aluminium.
I spend all day beating the crap out of huge bits of Oak but beating the crap out of Metal really knackers you out, after a while.

 But i am getting close to getting the seat in some kind of recognisable shape...

DUCATI FLATTRACK pt2

 Today i made a wooden former. My plan is to beat the crap out of a bit of aluminium, around the former until it looks great. 
I will probably make it from 3 pieces and rivit it together, if it looks like a bit of aircraft that would be cool..

RUST JUST DOSN'T LOOK THAT GOOD IN ENGLAND!

NO MORE SWEDISH SATURDAY ????

I'm running out of pictures for Swedish Saturday, I can't keep steeling from other blog sites. So you will have to send me some pictures. Email robgecko2001@yahoo.co.uk and include your address so i can send you a sticker or a biscuit or something.

HOW DO YOU STOP THINGS FALLING OFF A DUCATI ??

 ANSWER: Take all the bits off..
The Ducati "Flat-track" project has just started and it already looks better.
I need to fit different forks, yolks (Trees, if your American) and wheels as i need more turning movement to stop me getting 'high-sided into a fence' and i need to fit 18" wheels so that i can run the right tyres.
I'm gunna try and make ally seat and tank.  should look cool. 
It is sooooo light i cant wait till i get it on the DIRT..

All these bits will be for sale, including the forks and wheels. I have to repair the tank first as it has a small hole undernieth Email me: robgecko2001@yahoo.co.uk   before it goes on Ebay.

LOST WEEKEND

 I havent posted on my blog for a while as i've been trying to find a way to publish my book.
But here are some photos from the European Drag finals that i missed.
All these were taken by Paul a Stag that was obviosely too sober (you should be face down in last nights dinner if its your stag doo.

Check out the tyres warping in the top pick'.

 This citroen body looks so cool.

I wonder what temperature the air is above those cars?????

SHIT START TO A GOOD DAY.

 This morning I woke up at 4am, left the house, then got on the the motorway in thick fog.
One hour later I was cold and seriously doubting my own safety.... So i stopped, had a hot chocolate,  gave myself a good talking too for not being hardcore (stupid) then rode home.
I have never turned back on a journey before but I really hated the 1hour I was riding and I had 4 more hours to go.

 But the day wasn't lost as i got invited to a HotRod Doo, where i met lots of friends old and new and i got the chance to ride my Triumph.

 Lots of hanging around and talking shit with a beer.

 Very cool XS250 that nearly hit the gravel on the entry to the carpark.

 OOOOOOHHHH!

YEAH TRUMPET POWER. The fucker started first kick, so i treated it to a nice ride out..
