Yami 650 'Star'. . .

 This is the bike that Dylan is working on at the moment. It's another Yami 650 being converted into a Bobber style from the golden years of bike modification.

As you can see, Dylan has hand made a new seat and bracketry as well as shortening and fitting a new rear mud-guard. Once these mods are finalised, Dylan will move over to the other side and make up a new exhaust system comprising two into one pipes and finished off with the classis titanium heat wrap. . .

'55 Mercury . . .

As you can see from this pic, Andrew has blended the driver's side (LHS) front end into the chassis rails. If you want a little insight into this work, it was 47'C inside the shed today and I said to Andrew that it's not healthy to be working in that heat and he should close the doors for the afternoon. The reply was simple, "My customers don't pay me to close the doors and the work has to be done. . . " Needless to say that his two lovely daughters had to wait until Dad finished work before they were allowed to play with him in the pool today. . .

Update on Johnny . . .

Well folks here he is, straight back from surgery and with a big smile on his face. Over the next few days the doc's will be giving Johnny a proper tuning via lap-top and then he will be back out on his trike. . .

For anyone who is wanting to send any get well wishes to the big fella, please use his new address as seen here. . .

Friday too far away . . .

Just a heads up for all of you tomorrow. As you know, Johnny's been in Melbourne for some 'Deep Brain Therapy' and we are all taking the day off to go down and see how he is. We will relay your best wishes and request that you respect the Family's privacy and leave your phones in your bloody pockets. No calls will be answered tomorrow, with due respect. . .

'55 Mercury . . .

 This is the big dollar front end as supplied by Rocket Industries, quality is as you would expect. . .

Hodgey has been given the job to morph the new front end into the original chassis. Although this is supposed to be a 'bolt-in' as supplied unit, you can see that the supplied equipment is far from bolt-in . . .

Now I don't care who you are, but these results absolutely impress the shit out of me. To take the previous two pics and turn them into a finish like this is craftsmanship of the highest order. For those of you who look at this and say "meh, anyone can do that.", well here's your chance put up or shut the fuck up, this work stands alone in quality. . .

Hogg Season at the Pig Pen . . .

 Hogg Season has arrived at the Pig Pen and all the 'Nikey Bikies' have dusted off their leathe vests and are cruising in the sun. . .

 Yep, here's another one, bloody things are breeding like rabbits, although they are easier to get rid of than rabbits; you just need it to rain!

Dylan working on another Bobber look-a-like.
These Yami's have an uncanny ability to shed a couple of their add-ons and then screw a cople of the old Hogg parts and these things look incredible. . .

A Model visitor . . .

 The Beverly Hillbillies have hit town for their 'grits'. . .

Classic old A Model in marvellous condition and still running the old 4cylinder donk. . .
