It was Mac and Sarah’s anniversary today – so Sarah bought Mac a book on his favourite place, given he spends most of his life there. – A cracking read – it’ll have you in stitches!!
Colin popped over to New York (New York) and popped into some fellas garage and took a few snaps – not jealous at all.
R.I.P Indian Larry.
Fat boy – with a fat arse!
Colin has a nack of picking up a deal then turning a run of the mill bike into something quirky. This one seems no different!
More to come – but we’re starting to see the transformation. On his own admission it’s a work in progress that’s changed direction more than once already – watch this space!!
Finally sorted and ready for the summer – the YamaHarley
As promised … the before and after photos of the’ Twisted Iron’ 4Hour challenge bike – lurvley!
In…….
And riding out…….
What a great event ……… not too big, very friendly, no attitudes……….. just the type of place to chew the fat over a brew and check out what ideas folk have thrown at their bikes. I was a bit fed up that the Harley wasn’t finished (carb needs fettling) and that I had to go in the car but met Stroudy there – discussed life, the world and everything over tea and once the world was put right it was time to head off home.
The guys at Twisted iron were doing a four hour custom build / conversion – will post some picks when they confirm it was achieved.
As you can see a start has been made on the ST70. Problem is – the bike was stripped and the rotten parts discarded 15 – 20 years ago so its not until its being put back together that we’re finding out just how many parts are missing.
Trying to keep the bike as standard as possible, although the pressed steal frame had to be blasted (you cant get into the frame to clean it up sufficiently) and so we went for powder coating for longevity – so the bikes now in satin black. Parts are either very cheap or stupidly expensive on this bike so unsure how long it’s going to take as it’s a bit of a ‘fun’ project. We’ll probably replace parts when we find them (like the fork inners / lowers which are functional but scruffy) at a reasonable price.
Mac is one who will ride his bike through the winter (not through choice, but he gets to work in the time it takes the windscreen of his T25 to de mist) so he’s always looking for ways to keep the bike upright in the more extreme conditions. Time to look back into history for the answer………… Unsure whether this is for real or one of those doctored BSH photos that always make us chuckle…. Just wondering how it goes round corners??
Nicked the photo from the 2% Chopper culture Blog – great work guys – love your stuff!
