G'day champions, hows it going out there. Once again I am a bit late, but I seem to be running around like a bee with no bum at the moment. Clocked up over 2000 k's in the past couple of weeks, picking bikes up dropping bikes off, going to family birthdays, and now with the addition of a puppy in the house, I am all over the show. But never mind I made the blog that much bigger this week to make up for it. Just got word the Guzzi is nearly working, this is good, so up there next week to pick that up and get it finally ready for the summer. Shit it's been a process that's for sure. Lesson learned, never leave your bike with a potential P user, this can lead to all sorts of issues. Plus the Kawasaki is about to be ready as well. So from no bikes ( well almost none anyway), to having them all back in the house again. The garage still hasn't been built, I need to complete one more drawing to get this done. You would think that from looming at a plan that shows an overall dimension of 10 meters to the boundary, that is you take off the 7 meter width of the garage, that there is a 3 meter overlap clearance. Sounds simple, but the council want a plan showing the 3 meter dimension. FUCK..... really. The council worker said to me " you can just draw it on with a pen, but we prefer an electronic drawing. People that know me, know that apart from bad manners the one thing that gets me is petty bureaucracy. These guys in councils have it in spades I tell you. But never mind, so it's been busy, I've been busy and now you can take advantage of the blog to not be busy for a wee while. So enjoy, and please share or like, it'd be great to get my numbers up there. Ciao




Found another older imahe of the MHR I was working on last year. Lovely restoration. If someone wants to own this give me a call.


these new ones look pretty bloody good too.
Nice garage









Me thinks this lad is in trouble



About as perfect a racing motorcycle as you can get.

Who didn't want one?






Just because I love F1 cars




Nice wee collection


















KTM are selling a race bike for you and me. How cool is that



 






I mean, you can't really better production motorcycles today, they just do such a damn fine job














There's just somehting about this model that i really love.



















The next set of photos were taken by an acquaintance Michael J Breen. The only reason that i mention this, is he's the only one that would get upset about me using his images. Even though the bike was mine. But there you go.
Team 'big balls' haha. Should have heard the commentators trying to wrap their mouths around that one.



The masonic in napier running the SP in.









A view a lot of people got to see. I'm really falling for the 851,888 model again.






































It;s not hard to see why









This looks nice in that color



Jason McKewan riding for Ducati Australia. What could have been eh?


How cool is this. incase of emergency brake the glass



















About as perfect as you can get.














Love these Magni's




















Bit of a blast on the 851.





Lovely carbon work on the Guzzi

Hmmm, this bikes looks could not be improved by that exhaust.
