at the risk of repeating myself... fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck

top tube

hairline fracture

 Joe picked her up immediately

and welded a gusset for the time being so I can ride her

Actually I don't think it looks too bad, I may keep it so 

shame I didn't paint the frame black, 

with all these amendments, 

a little easier to touch up... 

but then tomorow morning...

 sun rise over a field somewhere in bedfordshire...

 and a choppergod faces the new day... 

 we were graced by the presence of Mr Fenland Choppers...

dicey pan...

so what do you do...

 Andy Hornsby's 'lowrider' flys 27" off the ground...

The best weather all year for 

The chopfest weekender

Nice One Geezers...

A big thanks to Mr and Mrs P 

and then you come down...

how can it take two days to make and fit a bracket...

shitty weld

thats 1/4" thick dude and the main part is 1-1/2" bar I had to butt weld to get the

3 x 2" dimension.

at times I did have a wobbly, 

a day to make the bracket and then the fit and weld to the nice powder coated frame.

I thought fuck it, I'm not going, I won't get this finished, I can't do it, I'm out of gas and I'm knackered.

Then I thought, the weather going to be great and I've just spent the last few days doing this, its done and I've got a ticket.

So Trip Out here we come.

fuck I haven't fixed the sidestand...

I think I have spent more time on the bitch than any thing in my life, and still she wants more...

just in time for the tripout

fork brace loose again, longer bolts and loctite

mudguard bracket fractured

 it also mounts the third fixing for the oil tank

not an easy fix and why did it happen????

and finally managed to snap the kickstand extension off which is essential

handcuffs, old blokes, young ladies dressed as cops in short skirts, a chopper bitch, there's gotta be a punchline here...

'make an old man happy'...

'alright fella, but no hands!'

look to the picture column to your left, its the same bike,
can that really be the same bloke?

the stealership

Had a ride out to Guildford

 V8 in the bike park

 Only fifty two pounds and sixty four pence sir (true)

but I did find the free coffee machine and had an expesso, 

then I felt the urge to have another...

'yes mate, its 'old school', before the evo - twin cam time'

I prayed the bitch would not embarrass me

-and she started first kick.

So we took the long way back through some beautiful Surrey countryside

-actually we got lost and did another forty miles.

heavy heavy monster crack

 fat bastards and cheap shitty seat brackets don't mix

 buy another and your well on the way to the cost of

 the biltwell bracket you should have bought

but thought it may not fit as the tab was already welded to the frame
