scary handlebars

2011-05-11T22:00:00.002+01:00

Went to Twekesbury at the weekend with Darren and Welsh Graham to a little show at a pub. Outside of a little thief around Glouscester i noticed that my handlebars had had enough and wished to retire.
Graham was so upset that a mile from the pub he did a very slow dismount from his bike on some clay , both bike and rider wore clay to the pub.
Rode home with my eyes glued to my bars ready for the moment they split but it never happened. So at home i had the choice of three sets of bars, original Electra Glide bars hhmm , super wide and flat bars .. oh dear or normal set from the Ironhead well here they are on the bike look ok and feel ok so hopefully they will do, do not want to part with cash at the moment for new bars.

Brighton and Hove council are mutha's.

2010-10-10T19:43:00.002+01:00

So me ,Darren and Alan went to Brighton today to the bike event at Madira Drive and we had a good time, Alan paid his fiver and parked down the bottom with all the bikes while Darren and myself parked up above in the road and paid £35.00 OR £ 70.00 if we wait for a couple of weeks . I think i will pay mine tomorrow and send a rude letter , these bitches say you can challange the fine but you know that like a nob jockey you will always end up with shit on the end of your stick!
Still we had a good time Alan bought a shirt for himself and a crash helmet for Kim and me and Darren bought some tea and coffee.Like the Rocker's reunion it was wall to wall Harley's ,assorted Jap customs and scooters and to my horror ( as if i did'nt have enough horrors to deal with) quads everywhere these are the trendy arseholes who bought a sportsbike then sold it and bought a speedboat or jetski and know have bought basically a very small convertible car all dressed in their crappy training shoes and £500.00 crash helmet, plastic trousers and jacket designed by a blind monkey high on angel dust.
By and by we fought are way through the bucket of puke that is biker fashion man these people just will not let decency or taste into their lives , look i'm no trend setter but why get dressed in Ronald Macdonalds's wardrobe in the dark at least turn the light on .
So i took some pictures of some bikes and looked at some stalls, even took a few photos of the obligatory custom cars ( Elvis is king rock'n' roll forever) and wished for the roaring twenties revival to make a come back so that i could call myself Lupin wear a monocle and ride a Ivory Calthorpe and be a true cool daddy.
As with any motorcycle event all of the usual plastics turned up, you know the ones to stupid to get into the armed forces and no chance of the police so like all bullies they lean on normal people to get there tiny weeners hard and then tug away untill their stinking fish soup has fouled and polluted anything decent. Still look on the bright side we have looks , intelligence and a love of motorcycles they have crabs, badbreath and and a full car licence.
I'm going to post a few pictures of in my view the best motorcycles i saw along with a couple of cars and a really bad bike .

Holiday

2010-07-31T17:45:00.002+01:00

So first day of my two week holiday,had a good day went up to my brother's on the GS and went round Ralph's to return some bars and talked about monster motorcycle engines [ well Ralph did i know shit about monster engines].But it was nice i like talking about bikes and i don't really talk much about bikes to anyone.
Alan text me to say he has bought a Nevel plus chair on e-bay good to know someone else is going to get very familler with their toolkit.
You may ask what am i going to do on my holiday well apart from spending a lot of time with Tracey and Owen and trying to do adult holiday pastimes i'm going to try and work out why the Glide is trying to kill me.I suppose it is trying to get even with me for all of the sick shit i have done to it over the last year or so, when i mean sick i mean sick not some modern bullshit plastic trouser, training shoe, baseballcap, hoodie, litter dropping, boom boom hatchback , zit faced hold your gun sideways , gangster, texting, get your bootie ass girlfriend to wash your crap car in her swimwear, lowlife shit sort of sick [ sic]. Ialso need to fit the new front tyre and gattors to the GS. So that should keep me busy , also have the Triumph owners next saturday which is always a nice afternoon and evening and plus hardly any arseholes turn up, you know the sort , given themselves a really cool name like spider or warlock and run around all year in a car because the bike is still in the shed due to the fact they don't have a bike license. Still i suppose i should tolerate these idiots as they make me smile as long as i don't have to talk, hear,smell,see them.

Lovely rainy sunday morning.

2010-07-12T20:10:00.004+01:00

So finally had a weekend off man that felt good after all of the crap i had to deal with that poxy nursery.Also all three bikes are up and about and legalish, i was in a very dark place for a while could'nt get my head around the GS packing up and the headlight on the Glide was getting me down, but i fixed all the problems without much outside help[ apart from the car electrics shop with only made matters worse , still got a refund ].

Andy's friend Deb's had a party up at his place and are old club was invited and i invited along Nick, Wendy,Steve and Marie it was a good night. Infact it was my first real night out since christmas due to the lad being born and working my arse off to keep my boss in the lifestyle he has become used to. I took afew pics but to be honest i wanted to just get pissed , i believe i accomplished this.

2010-06-13T18:41:00.001+01:00

GS without indicators and screen and added flat bars and a fancy mudflap , just need to add gators and i'm ready for winter.

2010-06-13T18:28:00.002+01:00

Went to the Bat and Ball last saturday for the big knock rally, only took these two pics man one crazy ride , Welsh Graham said it had come from Switzerland shit i would have been concerned pushing it out of the shed. Note tent in foreground mmm.

Things are looking up !

2010-05-21T18:10:00.004+01:00

Here is what you can buy for£675.00 if you happen to be in the right place at the right time. This is the sort of thing i had been looking for to get me to work and general stand in for the Harley's. Go on E-Bay and look for a sensible priced bike , yeah right everything is a classic, people live in a crazy world . I saw a cj 360 going for over £2000.00 , i had one in the late 80's and it was shit then hey and guess what they are still shit just very expensive shit like the sort of dump the Queen would do!
Anyway picked this GS up in the friday ad priced at £750.00 , it was local and turned out to be owned by a friend of my brother, for a 29 year old bike it is great condition and the speedo reads very low mileage , you never know if this is true but it certainaly looks and sounds low. So i have removed the indicators, screen and i would like to fit lower bars but other than that i must leave it alone, thankgod that poxy BMW died.

Woof Woof

2010-05-21T18:00:00.005+01:00

So last saturday i bought a new bike , in my defense i was still feeling ill from a stinking cold which i still have. You are looking at £325.00 of shit , it managed to do 16 miles then monday morning i left for work did about 100 yards and then it died. I hit the starter and it turned over and pumped out a very large cloud of smoke which totally swamped me. Pushed the 007 crapmobile home and Tracey lent me the car. Still on the plus side i returned the bike to previous owner in the works lorry and got a full refund, oh boy was i lucky.

2010-05-15T06:34:00.003+01:00

the lad looking fat and happy.

slim pickings at the moment , not much going on just work oh and having a really crappy cold. looking at getting a sensible ride to work bike, watching a k75 and an mtz 250 although maybe an mz is not that sensible. just do not seem to be any cheap bikes anymore all the 70's early 80's are now so called classics and i'm not interested in 90's sports bikes.

xs just about done

2010-04-29T20:01:00.005+01:00

so finally done just alittle bit of messing, mainly the clutch. Rode her around work she fired up very easily which was great,but like all things you get the stuff you want and then just for a split second you are satisfied with your lot, but i think she will have to go as the two harleys are very demanding, oh well easy come easy go.

Made some progress today, rear wheel in and seat on.Had the front disc on the rear wheel which created a bit of head scratching , it's the same old story,check it twice and still bugger it up. Handlebars are on but only to make sure things are ok. Had a go at cleaning the down pipes with the rough polishing mop. I took a photo of one before and one after, to be honest the after is in a worse state.

ROCKER'S REUNION

2009-09-13T16:35:00.016+01:00

Went with Darren to the Rockers Reunion in Brighton today , so many bikes an endless crawling

stinking, reving parade. Oh the faces of hot,sweaty people wishing that they had never joined the highway to hell ,a highway that went straight up Satan's arse. Having taken this ride before we went early and parked up above the seafront. We turned up around 9.30 and left around 2.00 and all that time bikes crawlled past us. Good day out if you like bikes, every other bike seemed to be a Harley of some sort, plus loads of specials.
