Hi........

In this section we will keep you up to date with what is happening in the workshop.

15-06-2010

Again it has been over a year since the last update.

So ill take it from the bulldog bash.

Finished the trike roller for a lad in Dublin.

He is going to do the rest of the build himself.

Then it will be coming back down for paint.

We got another trike in to do a total re build on it.

It had a Yamaha fj 1200 motor and a big ugly frame

We had to cut off the rear of the frame and make a whole new front half

And also fit in a 1400 suzuki intruder motor.

Make up a new seat,new pipes, a new tank dash and a lot of other bits and pieces.

The diff was turned upside down, so the trike wouldn’t drive in reverse.

We also painted the frame to match the original custom paintwork.

A few photos here.

In march we took five bikes over to france

To the pequencourt bike show. organised by the well known French builder

Nicolas. Chauvin.

Also at the show were lin and vic from destiny cycles

And larry and family from lamb engineering

We had a great weekend

The organisers really looked after us very well.

Right now it’s the start of june

and we are flat out busy,

we have two complete ground up chops to build for clients

and a lot of other bikes coming in for small mods.

Myself don and mick are trying to build three new bikes for the AMD show

Next year.

The first is in London, then the week after it’s the Dublin show

All going well one of them will hopefully win the trip to Sturgis

Well its only eight months since the last update
We’re getting good at this
Anyway we got three of the four bikes finished for the rds/amd bike show
Delighted to say don’s bike won,
Which means that he has won the trip to Sturgis
and entry into the amd custom bike show.
Mick’s bike won best low rider at the Dublin show
and as we finished building the third bike in our stall at the show
It wasn’t entered in the competition.

We rebuilt another trike early in the year
I’ll get a few pics of it up soon.Last month we all went over to England
To the bulldog bash custom bike show
I brought over Micks bike as he was over in Sturgis with don
His bike won best American in the show. Later on in the evening Mick called from America
To say that don had won first place in his class at the rats hole show
He came in 18th place in the freestyle class and 4th place in the metric class at the amd show
Major piss up was held that night at the bulldog

We also bumped into Lin and Vic Jeffers of destiny cycles at the bulldog again this year
They won best in show and a few more prizes as well
Probably the best custom bike builders in the UK
In my humble opinion anyway
(And I’m usually right)

Now we are all fired up and ready to start building again.
I have a trike frame to finish next week
Then we’re going to start Tim’s new sportster project.
I’m still collecting parts for my next bike
I might be able to start it as soon as Tim’s bike comes off the jig

That’s it for now
I’ll try not let it go on for so long the next time

At last a new update, and it’s only been about 20 months since the last one.
Last update we were just getting back to normal after Mick won the bike show in Dublin.
We finished what other little jobs needed to be done on the bike,
He rode it around for the summer, and then it was packed in a box and sent off to Sturgis.
It didn’t win anything there, but we had a really good time.
I finally got my ould shovel back on the road
Only took me about eight years.
Theres a few photos of it here somewhere.
At the moment we are trying to build four new bikes for the AMD bike show in
Dublin next march.
Don’t think we will get all four of them done,
Hopefully we might manage three.
