Chopper trials riding

I had a big idea to put the chop at the side of the house for a week or so. Now - ive just learned that steps and rigid harley chops dont go together that well.

I always forget how low and heavy it is! With enough noise, grunting and swearing from me it went in (relatively) easily.

Cant see many thieves that could be bothered with getting it out of there - it wont be in a hurry in any case!

Holy smokes Batman!

Finally got the drilling done for the disc for the street scrambler last night. This claimed the life of my pillar drill motor, but I've bought a new more powerful drill now.

Let's just say we bonded together last night, 3 hours it bloody took. The secret is plenty of cutting fluid!

Little bits of gold

I guess I'm not the only one that loves nothing more than a good hunt on ebay, bargains are few and far between, and more often than not I'm getting out bid on what I would pay for parts.

every now and again you get a nice little bit turn up that you win. well ive just got a switch unit - not sure if its Indian or Harley - or if its a repop or what, but its a lovely little switch for wither the custom 45 or the Indian....
