Messed about with a van to get four of our bikes to the show this morning  with Heisenburg roaring up on his XS to make five . The night before Heisenburg was at the nut and bolt shop (leaves everything to the last minute – like fixing the clutch lever in the back of the van at 9.30 the night before the show) and his mate mentioned his son who had a bike he’d made all by himself in his shed. – So as we had space on our plot we invited him along  and he turned up on a lovely Yamaha four pot with loads of one off parts he’d fettled himself.

Below are a few shots of the ‘display’ before the crowds arrived.

The Heisenburg velocipede / speed racer was a huge draw from all warps of life – from old crusties muttering through their volumous beards to small children asking their dads if they too could have an engine in their bicycles.

We sat for some time just listening what folk had to say – I’m glad that most appreciated our efforts but it was also fun listening to the complete b#####ks that some came out with whilst explaining to their somewhat disinterested partners /mates what they’d have done instead(?)

Macs bike drew a crowd …… but most seemed only to take pictures of the ‘Yamaharley’ badge on the tank and make comments like “I can’t get my head around the whole rust thing” whilst clutching their latest £600 Arai helmet.

Anyway – it was a great day out but we agreed that it probably wouldn’t be done again – much better to pick one bike ……… and ride the bl##dy thing to the show !! Mac.
