mikes wl...

has a triumph 4 speed box fitted now...it took me quite a while to get it positioned how i wanted (without cutting out the original cradle) but still allowing for a nice amount of adjustment since we will be running a twin row primary chain. its come up well and finally the box sits far enough down and nicely balanced with the motor.

get a load of this.....

kim from BCM says.....

"A few weeks back my bike sat down at Morelands waiting for a new fourth gear seal not only did it get a lot of crust & rust from the sea air but apparently some coverage in the latest issue ofKronicas Kustom Kulture as well?

all i can say is whoever arranged to take his bike outside, shoots some really fucken dodgy shots of it and then publish them in a magazine without even so much as mentioning it to the builder/owner of the bike needs some serious fucken slapping.

if you see this magazine for sale.....LEAVE IT ON THE SHELF....fuck them.

50 pan details...

....beautiful leather work done by my local saddler...natural stitching, think leather...im particular with how i design the pieces and he's even more particular with getting it exactly right. cant ask for more that that from a tradesman.

the paint was done here at machine and has not been cut back and buffed yet.....i blocked back the clear many times to get a good shine off the gun.

le mans....

i've been riding the le mans a lot in the last two weeks since i finished it..(never finished really)...and listening to a lot of beck as usual.

i almost put it arse over a wombat last night but those brembos came to the party and saved my skin...heres a little movie thing i did this afternoon...hit the full screen button and watch it on youtube...i think it sounds good? yes?

50 pan...

has been getting some bits and pieces done and checked...and got a serious clean for the fuel mag shoot...autumn afternoon sun is too nice around here at the moment so i took her for a quick run and some pics of my own...ill post up some detail shots over the next couple of days...

DAVES BANGER....

...has probably been spotted down south by now...he sent me these shots a while ago so hes probably already worn out those rear tyres by now....stock 31, 12 volt, de arched spring in the rear, big/little firestones, 682c guide lights up front, 37 tail lights and scary mech brakes....i love it.

stronger carb support.....

fuel magazines luke....

dropped past today to do a shoot on the 50 thats been back in the shed getting a few things done....good to see you again mate, thanks for doin the big drive.

if you have not seen or read fuel magazine, the website, or seen any of luke's amazing photography then get on his site and check it out...in my opinion the best magazine with the stuff we like out of australia....bar none.

hit this to go.....

patchy...

....have had dogs (sorry...terriers).. all my life. my mum and dad bred bull terriers. one of the earliest shots of me is sitting in a box in a kennel with a litter of just born pups and our old all white bully RENA. when i got together with my girl my last dog had left me a couple of years before ( he was one tough fucken bullterrier)...anyway, this boston came into my life and my god he is one seriously cool dog. dont come near machine with any other dog he will go up and under and lock on hard my friend...he dont care how big they are. one spot of sun in the whole shed and he finds it...winter is coming felt a change nipping at the back of my neck tonight.

machine projects...

....one of the first when we got set up in the shed was for me to make a stool for my girl to use at her desk. it was an exercise in making it as thin and light as possible and to reuse the leftover material we had from the shed building. i still think its a nice looking stool and after 4 years of service it hasn't broken down. if anyone wants to steal my design don't.... cause i'm the first to ever think of a stool.

le mans...

ive been putting some miles on the le mans the last week ...just bedding everything in, making sure things aint gonna fall off and stuff like that... im going to give her a nice long run next week of maybe 600 or so to see how she goes...then we are going to do some photos...

sonics...

this ones for you topes....

ccr

sorry for all the clips...there is just something about good music....i must be getting old.

river deep mountain high 4 ... no better in my view.

what does it mean when you listen to a song maybe 6 or 7 times in one day...after you have played it maybe 500 times ...

does it get better?...i know one thing for sure. I never get bored of the Saints doing this song.

wish i could find some footage of them doing it live...
