Rain forecast all weekend, but plenty to do in the barn

This time of year, even in Southern California, we can get rain, albeit a drizzle compared to when I lived back home in the UK, but- you can’t stop the rain and of course, we need it here in my area, so I think this weekend i shall get on with some work in the […]

The Matador – A 1978 CB750K that needed some TLC

Well, after 25 years here in Southern California and creating over 50 machines in many guises, each old resurrection I try and get into and finish a non-running left alone Honda, becomes harder and harder to know what to do with her these days, but if I found super clean models, then I could just […]

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 […]

Fitting Bellmouth Velocity stacks to the old 4 Banger

Well, the original airbox is destroyed from being sat outside for many moons, also I have never liked the look of the stock plastic bread boxes unless it was a restoration, so I thought I may as well fit some Aluminum Bellmouth Velocity stacks to fil that void up under the frame and protect the […]

A sad 750 sat unloved and needed a new home

I have owned easily over 150+ CB750s in the 25 years that I have been building them here in Southern California, I drag many home that have not seen the light of day for quite a few decades, and somehow, I manage to get them running and riding once more, thus saving one more machine […]

I have just completed another machine here at the Barn and of course, it’s a CB750 Honda, but this time an old 1975 F model that I had in pieces in boxes that were in the barn and some parts were outside,  Just trying to use up parts that I have accumulated over the years […]

Feeling Exhausted this month at Carpys Garage

I seem to always be burning that proverbial candle at both ends as of late, but, I do see some light at the end of the tunnel and have a few pokers in many fires right now, interesting times for sure, I am also working on a new website to make it less complicated and […]

Count down to Turkey day!

Thanksgiving will soon be upon us, but its a celebration that I enjoy food wise and of course, me originally being a Redcoat, people think it may bother me, but- if it wasn’t for that day- Oct 19th 1981, well I wouldn’t be here if my original country and planted the flag. So I celebrate […]

Back online after some glitches but all good

Well, what a frustrating few days that I have encountered, modern technology is great, until it takes a spiralling fall into the abyss. I have been pretty good on my computer over the years, with no training as such, I just worked my way through any problems and if I was stuck, my web guru […]
