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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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. […]
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 […]
Here we are 2022 at last, man – What a crappy 2020 and glad to see the back of it and start a fresh and hope that we all have some good health and enjoy life as much as we can. I somehow caught the Flu over Christmas and it Royaly buggered me up, Only […]
