Commercial from the 1960’s on Motorcycle Fashion

I look back and laugh but to be honest, this was the new thing as you were not required by law to wear a Crash Helmet at all in the UK, but in the 60’s fashion was about everything and road safety was being pushed quite hard in Britain, due to so many road accidents […]

I went out for a Pint of milk, Came back with 10 CB750 Engines

It’s a funny old world, I mean, I initially went out to get a pint of milk and on the way there I came across a stash of SOHC Motors that a buddy of mine needed to off load as he was clearing his place out for renovations etc, what better way of getting rid […]

The Rocket Four Motorcycle I built out of a non running CB750 Four Honda back in 2007

Time does indeed scream by at a pace that I really cannot fathom these days, but I am glad there are such things as you Tube etc that keep videos that I posted all them years ago. Here is the “Rocket Four” Bike that I created out of an old non running inline four, I […]

Some older machines I built

Funny thing the internet, although it may seem new, it has been around just over 20 years now and I remember when we had My Space etc, the things we did to promote ourselves back then. Anyway, just thought I would add this old video, forgive the clarity, but I created some cool rides back […]

Firing up the CB500 with New velocity stacks.

Messing about with the CB500 this afternoon, I fitted some aftermarket Velocity stacks to the bike, with screens, so that should help the bike breath better and I also managed to find a 15mm Die and tap the threads to a course range and the New petcocks I bought, screwed right on. No idea if […]

Weekend is here but its going to be damn Hot In Southern California

Plymouth to Ivybridge Ton Up Boys 1962

Young Motorcycle Racers are gathered by a transport café on the A38 Exeter to Plymouth road. They are the ton-up boys taking off into the night. British biker subculture originates in the 1950s and is influenced by American pop culture and the rock and roll music of Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry. 1960s […]

Fun Time doing an Episode with Larry Romestate and Jay Leno

I had a ball when we were filming this, fun times that I always treasure and hope you enjoy this too, Larry designed his BMW over many years and we used to hang out in my shop brain storming, he did a super job completing his machine and he rides it all over the place. […]

The Dispatch Cafe Machine 1975 CB750 F Super Sport S.O.H.C.

Been a while since I have tinkered in the Barn, I am starting to do a bit of creating on a machine I have had as a stock bike and sat in storage for many moons, and I thought to myself, why not create something that I personally rode back in the day and in […]
