Yamaha Bobber. . . Finished

 Yamaha bobber hanging out with the 'cool' gang at the front of the shed. . .

Certainly a nice result from the small capital outlay. Hand made and hand wrapped pipes really set the bike off. . .

 Long, low, sleek, stealth ride, it sure looks better than the original set-up. Money well spent. . .

Gotta love that small headlight, not everything in this world has to be 'big' to be useful! Laid down bars and nice seat, she should be great for cruising. . .

XS650 Yami 'bobber' . . .

This Yami is really starting to come together now and is looking totally re-incarnated, it's a beast.

Front view and we love the drop style handles that will stop him from having to lay over that Peanut tank and take away the pleasure of sitting up and looking cool, gangsta style. Geez, I hope that he doesn't own a scarf, he'll look like fuckin Steve McQueen in The Great Escape !!

Close up of the new pipes hand made system by Andrew. They are currently off the bike and been wrapped with Titanium exhaust cloth for the timeless look and so he doesn't burn holes in his strides; not a good look, especially if you've got a long schlong and it pokes its head out the hole!

Johnny's Trike . . .

Well boys and girls, after all the pain, arguments, fun and frivolity, not forgetting bloody hard work on Andrew's part having to put up with all his old man's complaining, it's finally finished and we take the covers off Johnny's Trike and present it to you for your consideration? Johnny doesn't really give a shit what you think as long as it's finished and he's happy with it. . .

Don't worry about the fluid leak on the floor, Johnny hasn't taken a gun to it yet, just draining the water to replace it with the right fluids so that Johnny don't cook it when he enters the burn-out comps . . .

Big arse end on the beast is necessary to, well, carry a big arse end of course.
Trike has come up fantastically and runs like a dream. Andrew wants to make a couple of little adjustments at a later stage, but for now, he's handed over the keys and look out world!

XS650 Yami bobber . . .

After another day's work and Dave and Dylan have this 'Bobber' looking a real treat. Tiny little headlight has more output than the original and really looks the part for this era and the tail-light number plate assembly is totally freaky, nearly pissed in my pants when I got a look at it . . .

Closer up view of the boy's work and you can see that Andrew has been working overtime with the dremel and grinders to get the joins and new steel looking top shape, he has a very strict code for making it look right or real and won't let shit work leave the shed. That's his big mitt holding the newly formed seat in place just to arouse your excretery juices and get them flowing . . .in other words it's horn material!!!

XS650 Yami Bobber . . .

Have a look at this Baby, new frame welded in and rear wheel fitted up all ready with a new 'Peanut' tank mounted up front. While they were hanging and screwing new shit all over the place, Dave threaded a new chain in as well. I asked Dave how much longer it was and he replied 6inches. I said bullshit, to which he gave me a stupid look and said, you're male, you should know what 6inches looks like. I said with this fuckin weather there ain't nothing in my pocket that even looks half as big as 6inches, I'm telling you straight!
Anyway, the bike looks nice. . . 

XS650 Yamaha Cruiser . . .

Nice looking bike dropped in for some work. . .

Good looking old unit wearing 'H' plates and seems a reasonable enough unit? I asked Hodgey what the owner wanted and he said that they "Just have to bob it"!

After a couple of hours it has been totally destroyed and I'm beginning to wonder as to the meaning of 'bob' it?

Another hour or so and the rear end has been hacked off with a power saw. I've never thought that motor cyclists have had too many brains,  but to take your pride and joy into a stranger's shed, hand him a shit load of cash and then he totally fucks your bike for you doesn't seem to smack of too many smarts to me? I hope he doesn't want it back soon coz it's totally rooted. . .

'55 Mercury . . .

After telling you all about the fabtabulous rims that have to be shoe-horned into the Mercury's tight arse, I thought that I should show you a pic of them. . my fault, sorry!
