Sarah’s Guzzi frame came home today, all shiney – time to start putting her back together again (the Guzzi). Trying to assemble it properly instead using the threaded bar and chewing gum the previous keeper had used!

Nearly there – then time for new pipes!!

The Heisenburg project continues…………. not one to go about things the ‘easy way’ he popped down to Ozzy, picked up some steel and knocked up his own jig – proper project!

From a tiny acorn a mighty oak… etc etc.

Ever bought something and thought….. that’d look good on a chop/ bobber/ café racer? – just what Heisenburg did – one wheel and a project is born!!

Mock up of the forwards going on the ‘Scavenger bike’ using a couple of bits of threaded bar and some imagination!

Foot pegs on the scavenger bike were – well a little bland to say the least, so armed with an idea, an old pair of Harley foot pegs, some old ‘bear trap’ cycle pedals and a ton of enthusiasm, Mac ventured over to Heisenburg who chopped, drilled, machined, tapped and – well you get the picture – and produced these lovely little items!

Master Heisenburg is enlightening Mac – his padawan learner, about the mysteries of the lathe and how to turn dull,blunt metal into objects of desire!!

Our Heisenburg chose his career path at an early age

Winter’s here so time to strip down the ‘scavenger chop’ and sort out the ‘niggles’ that were evident whilst riding it last year.

As Mac is getting old and his hips can’t cope with the ‘squatting frog’ rear sets – time to try some forwards?

Time to adapt some forwards off another bike – this’ll mean new exhausts and a re-tune. Took some piccies of the tank for the very talented Mr. Stroud (Hairy Designs) to take a peek at with a view to splashing some paint on it too – funds permitting!

All’s going well – especially since Mac’s boy Josh has entered into the Scavenger spirit and started spannering on the chop.

Something good has to come out of any tricky situation?
