Well, Merry Christmas everybody, it is Christmas day and although the weather has been really bad the last few days, I had a clear afternoon to mess around up in the workshop on this festive day, a buddy of mine was involved in a traffic accident maybe 15 years ago, I was behind him and […]
Always a happy/sad time when I see another creation head out from the shop and begin its new journey to the customer, lucky for me this isn’t going too far and may see it from time to time and, to an avid collector who has many motorcycles, Hot Rods and Drag cars, so am super […]
Wow! Time is belting by, only seemed a few days ago it was thanksgiving – hang about, it was lol. but, being a brit, we have Turkey at Christmas and this year we shall be having a Thanksgiving style Christmas dinner, and I cannot wait to be honest. I have been busy trying to […]
Well, as I type this blog right now, I can hear the rain pounding outside, we do need the good old H2O, so I am not complaining, but it does remind me of riding in the rain most days back in England as i was a Motorcycle Dispatch rider, fun times and great memories for […]

It’s that time here at the shop to let some of the bikes leave the stable, this is one great thorobred to be honest and I have put many cool parts on this machine, and it is very unique to the many that I am sure you have seen on the internet and in magazines […]
Spent a bit more time on the 1978 YZ400 Yamaha Moto Machine over the weekend, and I got to admit I am happy with the way she is looking right now, I like the yellow rather than the European White plastics option, I think it’s a warmer color to be honest, albeit all too similar […]
I have always loved 2 strokes, the sound of the “Ring a Ding Ding Ding” of the motor, the smell of vegetable oil filling my lungs, the never-ending power band as you lift the front end and wonder if it’s ever going to touch terra firma again, and for a long time I have had […]
