Lovely Triumph on the 'bay

On ebay now - pretty 6T

Looks like a lot of fun!

Vintique's Back

Vintique Cycles are back - any shop that's has Boneshaker Benny's involvement get my vote -  if you want some cool parts then get yourself over to the Vintique site 

Possibly for sale

My Bonneville chop - Sound, Fast, Reliable - alot of work has gone into this by myself and Barnsly Shaun - top ride!

Don't wanna sell, but tempting offers invited, will come to a decision soon i'm sure - email me on retrogrademechanica@gmail.com

I want to build a Triumph street tracker/scrambler so PX's also entertained.

Will take some proper pics later

Ghetto Bike Building

Nipped round to Danny's to help with the Kwak 550 made from Girders......Cut up an old chair found in the alley to make a bike stand, took some bits off, took photo's of Danny spannering, gave up and went to the pub........progress

A Blunter Sharp End

We scored a complete (but rusted) early CB450 K1 front end for the '77 CB550 Project, Drum's are infinitely cooler than the clunky disc/calliper front end.

Got the polishing Rags out and started on the sliders and Top Yoke, need to get the stanchions hard chromed, then just bushes, shoes and a whole lot more elbow grease. It even fitted straight in.

New Project

Had this old Honda ('77 550 four) kicking about in the Basement for a few years after picking it up for pennies - actually was in profit after selling off the gubbins from it.

Eventually my friend Nick rebuild the Engine and we chopped off the rotten rear end and made up a new one......and then it sat for another year during which time Nick took ownership of the bike with the intention of us building a cafe racer together ready for next summer.

Last night it got dug out, and enthusiasm is raging to do something with it.....watch this space!

Only thing is I need a bigger Garage!

BubbleVisors

Always a fan!

Cycle Progress

....getting there

My Old W650

Still missing this bike, solid reliable, cool, fast, comfortable....and I sold it why?

Blonde

I always try not to re-blog, keep it clean and kinda keep this whole thing to my and my friends lives, but I love this shot!

After the random internet find, thought it only right to re-blog your mug chap!

Cheers for the help with the cycle project Bill

More from Gorden

I love going to Gorden's place - always loads to look at and lust after

The Backstreet Bucket

One of my all time favourite Blogs is by Chemical Candy Customs, not only do they turn out some of the tightest paint around, but they also run a tight ship on their blog too.

Daily Posts covering Chops &; Bobs, Knees in the Breeze, Daily Bread (gorgeous nekid women for all you pervs...& me), and my favourite 'Control' - a series of posts showing what bikes are really there for - to be enjoyed.

Pics from the BackStreet Bucket (Chemical Candy Customs) blog - check it out!

Made me laugh....

...it did too

Gorden's TR5 Outfit

My mate Gorden is putting together this lovely droptank TR5 outfit....sidecars are so bloody cool, and this machine is gorgeous!

0.75cc's....

....well 0.75 to 15cc depending which you look at.

I love anything mechanical, but the internal combustion engine is without a doubt the best invention ever, regardless of size and purpose.

Terry has a collection of model airplane and boat engines - these things are awesome; even more so when you fire them up. Fully functioning engines this small are just fascinating!

Those big ole 15cc engines are all magnesium, so cool!

On ebay now...
