    Dumb stuff I wish I had NOT done

    The dumbest thing I ever did was ....When I was into weights and stuff yrs ago I was cleaning my blender, theres a build up of gunk underneath and between the blade and its mount, for some stupid reason I held the blade and held it loosley over the chuck and over rode the safety and started it...

    What are you listening to?

    And since I mentioned slipknot.....its a bit rough but here you go!...To me...IMHO this song represents a full circle in heavy metal, theyv'e gone all the way round to blend a bit of everything!

    What are you listening to?

    Ive listened to just about every style of music, even made my own, from slipknot right down to beethoven, I enjoy it all... I even have time for one of my old favs! I love the control these guys have!

    What have you been riding lately?

    We’ve had the wettest festive season for yrs, our local river is in minor flood, that’s the trash bins cover sticking out of the water, Ambitious was great this morning, I pumped up the tires after the long wet spell and she rode like a dream, really impressed with this one 😎

    Cafe racer project.

    The rear seat frames complete bar 4 tabs to attach covers, there’s 1 good tab left on each side that I’d left for this reason. I utilised the old rear cross section and trimmed it down so I can use the 4 holes that have 6mm nuts already on the back of, this is to get a good purchase on the...

    Cafe racer project.

    Finished the seat mounts today. I cut up an old office chair seat base, it had the right sized tabs and at 3mm was sufficient, all holes pre drilled, I just cut them off and shaped the corners. The seat itself had the weirdest shape underneath, just look at couple different angles to make...

    Imperial Cycles Fat Cruiser "Little Deuce Coupe"

    I also think the bikes one of the best examples ive seen, I love the down tube which is something ive directed towards in my last 3 builds, the Paints grand man! and the shiny glossed skull is the icing on the cake! one of them Ba-Fang mid drives would turn it into a killer whale on roids LOL

    Cafe racer project.

    Cafe racer project.

    Today I started on the seating frame, its only gonna be a solo rider so I began by removing the battery box and disconnecting all things with it. I then, after like 2hrs just looking at it and planning everything , I merrily cut away, I cleaned up what I needed for today, found a handlebar...

    Cafe racer project.

    Finished the front mounts on the tank . I used the remaining bits of bmx forks I’d been chopping up, they fit and while being ugly they really are the best I could muster, tonight I’ll put a lt of fuel in and see if it leaks overnight. I was cautious to stay away from the tank itself and only...

    NEWS FLASH!!! The tire fit and sat on the bead ok but it wouldn’t hold air, the technician said its a different shaped bead on motorcycle tires than a car, rekons only slightly but this the result, I happily paid them the $20 for their troubles, left that car tire with them and got them to take...
