Robbie is from Newcastle and if we are talking "creativity not credit cards" he is definitely our man. He built the top two bikes from scratch on a budget of about £10.50, the third bike is a current build using an NSU Prinz car engine from the 60s. If it was anyone else you would just dismiss it as a fantasy project that will never see the light of day but i know he will be riding this bike next year.
I also know what you are thinking, they arent very practical, yea of course he has a daily driver as well, its a supercharged Moggy 1000 pickup currently running a Rover V8 but soon to get a 351 Cleveland (with a blower naturally).
Canny blerk like...
Robbie builds some great stuff his Ironheads are fantastic. The Moggie was built by a mate of mine Richard he and Robbie did a deal Richard ended up with Robbies Ironhead and Robbie got the moggie then promptly put a V8 in it. He is also a top bloke as well as talented.
ReplyDeleteAnd hats off to Robbie for then spinning the Moggie pickup 360-degrees on the swing bridge in Newcastle. In rush hour traffic! And he says he can have a go in it... :)
