Simon's shovel


An old riding mate from London built this Shovel over the course of a couple of years. He's kind of a numpty, but he and Lee did a fine job on this one. I believe the pic is in Cornwall, at a place called St. Michael's Mount.

Like Father, like son...



Built this cheap chopper for my son should he want it. He won't have to worry about scratching the paint or dropping it. Spray can paint job, everything else is swap meet or homemade.

70s Flashback


Building a Honda 750 chop in the 70s style. Gotta do it before I forget the 70s altogether.

How to burn a lot of money fast


This is what happens when immature males, alcohol, and lighters share the same time and space.

What I do when nobody's looking


Been building a Yamaha chop over the last little while. Not putting too much time or money in this one because it's still an XS650. In spite of what is often posted on chopper sites, it will never do 120mph, ride two up up Mt. Everest or cure cancer. It's fun, kinda slow, pretty reliable, and weighs less than 350lbs. Possibly will be my son's bike if he stops growing.

Jap inline chop


Been working on another Jap chopper using the same kind of motor, but don't have pix up yet. These big bore 4s make good rides. Plenty of power, reliable and easy to source parts for. Suzuki-san never intended for this to happen to one of his motos.
