Mark 3 and Mark 5





its all guzzi stuff this week....stuck into the alloy work on the Mark 5...lets see if i can make it look a bit better than it did when it left the factory. I tried a norvil commando seat on it just to see how the seating position works but am hoping to get the alloy tacked together by the end of this weekend.


My mark 3 is almost done, i had all my bodywork left over from my mark 1 a couple years ago so its getting put to use. found a new old stock ducati darmah rear guard that will work nice too.

new bars for rogers shovel



.... took a set of my standard stainless bars and widened them to fit rogers springer ....took some time to get it right with the file but they look great all finished....hope you like them mate.

I probably wouldn't do that again....id just get some more rolled up wider by my dude.


If your after a set in my standard configuration i still have a few sets left, give me a shout if your interested. 1 inch stainless, and if your like me and prefer a 7/8ths throttle and grip i can step it down for you.... email me at machineshed@bigpond.com



These are the prototypes i made and fitted to my pan....they are the same shape as these exactly.

my week away ....

......in no particular order, i had a fantastic time. A big comedown after 5 years of non stop work with no more than 5 days off in a row, of course i got sick, but nothing was gonna stop the ride. 



with thanks to the steady riding partner Roger, and Buzz and all the boys in Melbourne, thanks for making me feel so welcome, I kind of felt like one of the group and that meant a lot fellas. Nick, your a legend, for saving the day on the great ocean road, and Buzz and Penny, thanks again and special like, for the couch and your hospitality. All the rest of the boys, i'm coming back real soon, cant wait.
