...i cannot describe in words, really, how i feel when i look at this motorcycle...i can only imagine how fantastic it would be to see this bike in the flesh, and hear it run, ...and what must it be like to ride!...jeff decker's crocker has always been one of my favourites but this black lightning is pure and simple the most beautiful custom bike i have ever seen....i cannot comprehend the stippedbackedness of this machine...and i cannot help but be inspired and motivated by such clarity of execution....there!...i said it...check his blog in the list.

50 panhead getting close....

...ive been going super hard on the panhead over the last few weeks....im pretty happy with the way shes come together....ive put in some seriously hard yards on this one...doing and redoing cause i wasnt happy....im hoping to have a night up in sydney in the next three or four weeks to celebrate a bit and show her off...also..ive stopped showing her owner any photos of progress....after 15 years as my mate i hope he understands shes just got to be a surprise for him on the night...

....im starting to feel happy with the direction for the rear of the guzzi....ive repositioned the rear seat mounts forward and prepared a tank / seat bracket...i will finish off this base then build a simpler version with a whole other light assembly so i can quickly swap when im taking my wife for a ride....
