Brace of harleys 2005



The shovels looks mint here, not so sure about the sporty, sort of looks like a squawty thing short on legs, it might just be my go faster race pants that I bought for a tenner from the BMF one year when I was really looking for a gear box sprocket for the preuint which I went on having to stop at least 200 times to retime the mag because its just an interference fit without a key which I also forgot so when i got back to Belper I could only get into the garage and had to wait until mandy came home which gave me time to sort thro a load of junk which I swopped at burton bike bits who used to get involved in the classic bike show at burton which was also great until one year it turned into ground hog day and all the bikes were the same as last year

Early Shovel photos



Nearly as I got it, early spring fully Gortex - ed. Front mudguard removed and primary cases drilled. You can see why I bought, just waiting to be chopped and sure enough it was.



Next to NC FXR, which was stolen later that year when he was on the way to the Super Rally. Another cold spring day, dont you just love them



Keeping it alive on the choke.

Sleepy 2002

R65 the trusted rat

They dont get much less than this stripped to the bone.



Most of this has been sold and I have just given the end cans to Nick to go on his Guzzi project.



Went all over on this bike, great fun dont miss it at all. Been thinking about selling the 80 to Tim. Still not sure.

Got no pictures

I got lots of pictures to put on the blog which are on my busted laptop so you have to wait until its fixed.
