sometimes people come into your life...

...to just calm you down...they help you see through the crap of the day to day stuff and you cant help but want to be around their infectious calmness.

enter road king kenny.

hes eaten at my table, he's drunk my wine. i've made him coffee,.. and we can talk for hours about motorcycles and life. quite simply. my life is better when he's around.

model A ...

rob has finished a first pass with the blaster on the body and i am amazed at how good it is....the cowl is fantastic.... floor is all but gone but then i would have removed it anyway so thats ok...dash is good doors are fantastic....one patch needed on each bottom right along the length of the door....all the moulding lines are perfect on the doors and they are relatively unmolested.

the rear end of the body was obviously cut off at some stage....maybe someone backed into a tree...cause the rear section thats on it cant be from this car as its got an overlap where its been joined....no matter cause its not bad.

so overall its looking great. we are removing some internal timber in the roof section to blast some more and she can come home.

mikes wl... frame...

is all done now...i ended up having to chase down some weak spots in the rear section where it had been lengthened previously.

i tried to resist the urge to over grind and finish it to rather leave a surface that was slightly less refined and thus a little closer to the original finish...which is pretty rough to say the least.

off to the blaster and powdercoater tomorrow. Doesn't normally take more than a week so. So ill hopefully be mounting that front end, motor and box next weekend.

if you want blood...you got it...

one of my earliest memories as a kid was sitting on my grandfathers shoulders and picking blood plumbs off his tree in the western suburbs of sydney.....and then stuffing my face with them sitting on the grass...

last year i had two plums off our trees but this year i have a harvest....cant wait for next year.

HNYE

pretty sure the guy sitting next to the hostess is the dude who rode the chop in vanishing point who hooked up kowalski and found the back door........far out.

mark V le mans before...

after impact with a wombat at 100km/h....

the mark v hit the shed today for a full makeover. its pretty screwed up in the front but the rest is looking not too bad.....we shall see when it comes apart....

matt, not me, its owner, has taken about 4 years to get her out of the shed so its about time she came good...

summer time = snake time

farm stuff...

beautiful harvest on our peach trees for the first time this year......we have had a couple for the previous two years but not like this year.

my wife has been collecting echidna quills for the last five years....we are planning to make a light from them for our bedtime reading...

ride time

did some great miles on the guzz over the last few days....the ride this morning was fast and fun for the first half but the second half had some of the worst dirt bits ever....no time to look at the scenery when your dodging holiday makers in the middle of the road heading to the beach...

the dog fox, on the run
