Finally got started on the frame for my entry in to this years Brackley festival of motorcycling, got a good couple of months to complete the project so no pressure there…, Mac’s is almots done, just waiting for it to return from the ‘jewel embedder’ with a spattering of precious stones glued all over it to ‘give it the edge’ whatever that means.

Here’s a picture before the frame was started, I got the paper form a draw in Mac’s workshop, it was labeled ‘Mac’s macho-macho draw’. Tring to get an idea on the size of the bike so added a wheel and got playing with a sharpie..

Knocked up a pair of axle plates

Fitted them to the jig

Started bending tube and fixing it to the headstock we made earlier.

Joined the pipes up to the axle plates, staring to look like a motorcycle, kind of….if you squint.

Engine mounts done, well bottom mounts..

Final brace tube fitted, need to make a top engine mount first and then I guess we should start the petrol tank, or as Macly-davidson calls it…a gas tank
