the T is in storage, to be started this year, big plans !!!

the hauler, spent a n hour or so today working on it, looking more like I will strip the whole rear body off it and fab a trayback, too much rot in the back body!

Your good health for the coming years, keep the handlebars up and the rubberside down

Happy New Year 80)

Merry F'kin Christmas

Old shit for working on old shit!

Ive been struggling to find a valve spring compressor that is man enough to fit the valve assembly to my Chief cylinders, my handy toolbox one was too small, I went to town and bought a new Sykes Pikevant one, too weak to compress the spring. I had a look on ebay and got this nice old SP one in a battered old tin box for 20 odd quid.................... valves fitted 5 minute job!!

Shovel love 8)

One of my favourite HD's of all time, the Duckman's "Bitch"

Winter ride

Panhead hillclimber out in the snow, cant wait to get out on the Sport Scout!!!!

Building the Speedshop's hauler

Rearranged Rover

Range Rover pick up

Decision made the Rangie is for the chop. I'm going to get a cab kit from Longranger and build a box section flatbed trayback  that'll carry a couple of bikes or haul parts. Here's a pic of a Longranger converted Discovery.

Snow go!

this was taken on friday, weve had another 4 or 5 inches since then, went out this morning brushed the snow off the mag on Blackbob, fired up second kick 8)

The Gurly HD first stab of the starter button.

I let the Norton off cos, its new carbs are still snug in their box. Just scored a set of later (early Commando) long roadholders and a spare set of wheelhubs to get laced up to some new 18" ally rims by Colin and Co. at Loch Ness Restorations along with a pre mot tidy and tune up ready to go hillclimbing next season.

Its snowing here, and when its snowing I wanna play with Landys !!!

but as usual both of mine are SNAFU, I think Im gonna put this, a good running 1994 4ltr V8 with a good chassis and axles, but a rotten body and dodgy wiring

and this space framed series one RR hybrid with a knackered chassis and worn out drivetrain

together, and make me a coil sprung 100" one of these 8)

Series one 107" LR on Dana 60s with a small block chevy motor in Portland Oregon built by Timm Cooper

Alternatively - i'll trade the two of em for a LWB ragtop or pickup Series 1, 2 or 3  in running order and start from there!

The Stroker Scout is alive!!!

Big thanks to Neil  "Indianscot" who came up from his borders stamping ground to help me get the motor commissioned, I'd have been struggling without him!

fired up, a bit unexpectedly while giving it priming kicks to check oil return ................. some motors just wanna run!!!!

This just blows me away 8)>

CJ Allen's engraving on this Hunt  mag is just awesome - check him out here

The one that got away!!!

Ive had a lot of bikes over the years, they come they go, some stay for longer than others, but the one that I wish I'd kept was this 1972 BSA B50 race bike, it was sold to a fella from Denmark about 3 years ago, hope hes having fun with it!
