MW 1960

cant get enough of this album.....do you think the chicks at the time knew what he was talking about when he said "ill put a tiger in your tank"?

ducati

45 oil tank finished up...

all bead blasted...like a lot of other parts on the bike...

in case you cant remember what they looked like....it has been a fucklong time

italian motor magazine photoshoot........

hey adam.....it cleared up enough that we got it done.......

tanks done..

left side done...

mikes tanks....

....spending a good part of today shutting up mikes tanks.... sometimes i just want to leave welds alone...but then the panelbeater takes over in me and the files come out......either way its one of the funnest parts...

mikes 45..fender, plate mount

i added this rib over where i had previously cut and shut the fender......and i left plenty of meat so i can get it the right shape.....

...in the name of keeping the man happy...no more low mounted plates

mike made a mini led strip that will go under the section i made, to illuminate the plate......ill still mount the tail light/brakelight on the left side / low.....

get into it son....

spent the last couple of days on mikes wl....finally got the seating arrangements organised....

you cant really see from these shots...i cant get lower to take a shot cause of other shit in the way but the line came out exactly as i wanted....

im going to put a rib down that fender after the pad to connect it visually with the new number plate bracket..

no one kicks a big twin like max s

NOW

just ride will ya.

so for the last two days thats what i did.....big ride yesterday, met up with some mates down in the valley....some old and a couple of new ones (Larry and his great wife on their shovel...hes 52 and shes 58 ...they just rode this shov to melbourne and back).....then for a beer or two and a steak sandwich...then headed down the coast for a night in the bay...

 beautiful suspension bridge in the kangaroo valley.

then today i rode home sort of a long way ive never ridden before...hard going cause the wind was totally extreme and i was freezing my nuts off...fuck it was cold....good times, but sometimes i ask myself the question.....(do i really need to be this cold?)

love this little movie...

one of the best motorcycle photos ever   thank the dutchman...and one of the best pans ever for me..

100% beard






bob wrote the song and OCMS do it to perfection......




also....can you tell im on holidays.....i love motorbikes.

classic webber....class choiniere

7 months old...

smartest bitch ever.......

sideburn sick arses.....

damos centre stand....

was cracked and shitty.....i asked steve (all things ducati)...he said its a common problem and the best repair jobs have a strengthening solid insert (interference fit)....so here it is....lets see how it road tests before powdercoating...

three weeks holiday.....

....so lets see if i can finish mikes wl, cut the lawns, fix broken fences, build some bit of the house, and ride a couple of good rides in the freezing cold.

one of my favourite norton shots of all time.

somehow....

....a quarter of a million people looked at this blog...its a bit weird...but its also very humbling....thank you to everyone who has cared to look...i will try to do my best with this thing and as i said way back in early days....i love motorbikes...but bad. 

nobodys fault but mine
