50 PAN....

....clutch...installed a big fix kit on my 48 and it was one of the best things i did on that bike,...the clutch used to drag somethin shocking before and it made it one of the best clutches i have ever had...so i decided to install one on the 50 also...

THE GUZ....

....what a beautiful simple straight frame.

im kicking myself....

.....cause on the highway about 10 kms out of town is this massive crazy rock on the side of the road....im talking as big as a small truck... its covered in thousands of layers of paint cause people are always painting stuff on it like HAPPY 18th CHOKO and I LOVE DANNI.... but the reason im pissed is because for the last three years....but not this year....the message written on it has been MERRY XMAS FUCKERS i should have taken a photo when i had the chance.... so funny to know that every family driving to the coast got to see it and have a laugh. so...with respect........... MERRY XMAS FUCKERS

50 PAN AXLE

OLD INDIANS NEVER EVER DIE 2

got an email from jodie ingram saying... "Hi Hope you’re well I’m working with Watermill who’ve made the new ‘Old Indians Never Ever Die 2’ Documentary. I’ve been browsing through ‘Machine’ and I’ve seen you’ve got Indian content on there and so I thought you might be interested in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qx_WsKD_zc The video is a trailer for the film "Old Indians Never, Ever, Die 2". Old Indians never die is a Documentary about the Scottish motorcycle rally that happened earlier this year (24-26 July 2009 in Scotland)...have you had a chance to see the first part to Old Indians never die from 1994? Over the weekend there were some 400 vintage machines from all over Europe, Australia and the USA. The film takes a look at the people whose lives are so bound up in these amazing machines. Let us know what you think of the video and whether you can post it on Machine ? Best Jodie
