GORDON'S TUESDAY TRITON

One years work so far, homemade everything including the chaincase in a little workshop behind a single garage. Definitely not boring ladies...

BORING

"Your blog is boring" i was told last weekend, just motorbikes, nothing funny and no people. I looked for Randy to lighten the mood.



...but couldn't find a link to the Rob Base It Takes Two track from the pilot episode, is it out there ? find it for tonights homework.

NMM SUPERSERIES. THE HASH PAPPY

The 2012 look in 1975 or the 1975 look in 2012. Either way seeing as i'm now lost in Sportster wonderland it's near on perfect.

THE SUNDAY SPORT

Started to take the starter off Bouwjaar Sportster for repair yesterday but got a bit carried away. Note the starter is still there.
 This bike was imported from Netherlands a while back, shouldnt be a problem to get it registered with DVLA ? "yes sir quite straightforward, when did you import it ? (i didnt), have you papers from Customs ? (no), do you have a certificate regarding VAT ? (no), when was it imported ? (dont know), It will need to be MOT'd (yes done that), it will need to be insured (bugger), and taxed (bugger), and it's a £55 registration fee (bugger)". Forms will be here Tueday........

GORDON'S GARAGE

I've bought a couple of bikes off Gordon in Stockport, he always has some good stuff going on so i took my camera. Tritons are his speciality though, just wait 'till Tuesday ! 

YORKSHIRE BIG BREAKFAST

Classic supercars, rain and an unsuitably derssed bloke on a chopper at Speciaist Cars Big Breakfast last Sunday. Photos by Kurt Blythman, my hands were too cold.

The week before, Spesh Cars John and Tania were in Vegas Crying in the Chapel. Did you know there is no Elvis song with the words marry or wedding in the title ?
 Hound Dog, Runaway, On Top of Old Smoky ?

RED MARLEY BEST BIKE

...and Ralph.

MUDNESS

Travelled through the holiday mayhem down to Red Marley Hillclimb on Easter Monday, luckily Guy drove, i just slobbed out, ate jelly babies and drank Milo's warm Fosters. Courage and warm lager nearly got our man to the top (he did make it in practise) but in the end rain, a foot clutch and hand change together with the most knackered pair of knobbly tyres you have ever seen on a bike proved too much.
 You may find better and more informative reports of the day on Guy's, Renshaw's and Milo's blogs.
Ralph was top dog.
