In a gadda da vida baby...
check it out, -'the holy one' in arcadia
'darling there's a fucking chopper in the kitchen'
karma sickboy karma
home at last
Pick up my bike time.
Thought I'd hire a luton van with hydraulic tailgate, it worked with one of my moves with the shov. I took one look and realised my chop which must be all of ten foot long! (not) would not work , so a long wheel base van would do (cos you know its a long bike), not available saturday, fuck.
Ring joe, she's ready pick up friday, hire the van, set off at 7 am, and back at 5 pm. A long day.
Its Christmas and I'm six years old. We got trashed and just sat and looked at this gorgeous metal machine that I designed, trying to take in all those little details that make this - a fucking work of art!

shotguns at noon...
'Do not
forsake me
oh my darlin'
Finally, the pipes are being made. Joe was let down by his local suppliers and I managed to find an outfit in manchester, www.metal-supplies.com. Topman Derrick got the stainless stuff delivered friday when I met Mr FC at NOON in fenland country. A few issues with bits that were done and locations.
Picking her up on Saturday.
Its funny all I wanted was a frame, not even that as I was going to rake or hardtail the shovel.
All my parts ended up there so we could get everything spaced properly and lined up.
It looks like I've got loads of money and I'm having a full on chop build!

Blimey its nearly the end of June and I'm waiting for the stainless pipe to be delivered. Build the shotgun 'zorst' and then she can come home to daddy.
Still shedloads to do, but hey, 3 months ago she didn't exist, except in my head.

New people
Forgot me camera again
Went over to (royal) Windsor today to meet Paul (who won best in show at the NCC Windsor show last Sunday. Had a good chat with him and heard more tales of the build on his Sportster based chop. Frame built by Fenland Choppers. Paul introduced me to his brother in law, Rob who had helped him and lived in the same road. We went and had a look at Robs tasty chopped baby blue Old School Ford with a chevy V8 355 cube lump.
We are going to meet up at the HA London bash at Cobham in a couple of weeks time. Great local event, Ren and I went last year on the Sunday. A lot of wasted people but where else are you going to get full on roots reggae 'LIE DOWN GIRL LET ME PUSH IT UP, PUSH IT UP' with a pint of Wadworths 6X, at 12.30am on a Sunday in the Sun. Hey see you there.

Confidence of youth
Pinned above my drawing board in the studio
I did go too. Wanted to stay but no green card. A silly conviction and the fact that I wanted a proper job in a studio, not bar work.
I drove the getaway car. We'd been to a party and the next morning went for fags with my mate john and parked right outside this shop. He fancied this 'Club International' Mag, we went back to the car and he said 'shall I nick it?'. OK. He ran back in the shop, grabbed it and we drove off at pissing ourselves. Then we got nicked an hour later. Thats the short version. We nearly didnt get to court in northampton, J
ohn came up from Dorset,
we got pissed again, got locked out of the flat, stayed elsewhere and got in
bloody early,
changed into suits and drove up from london. Yes your Honour, Guilty your Honour, three bags full your Honour.
