The need for Swede

Wa-hey! The puns don't get any better, do they?

Whatever, are you, like me, sick of the 'bobber craze'?

Yes, it was all ok when billet HDs were everywhere, a hark back to simpler times and cheaper bikes was a good thing. But now they're everywhere you go.

I say to you- polishing is OK!
You CAN have a front mudguard!
You don't HAVE to run Avon Speedmasters!
You don't HAVE to have a sprung bates seat!
And last of all...FLAKE IS NO LONGER OBLIGATORY.

I feel much better now. Time for a Swedish revival.

'JUST IN CASE'

Just in case, that is, you thought I'd completely lost my mind. I still dig Harleys, Triumphs, chops, streetfighters, ratbikes, whatever- and I'll be bringing you a whole host of class rides in the near future. Here's a 'old and new' HD pair to set you off. Think I'll stick to a black lid tho', thanks!

park yer arse

As in 'take a seat'...and I'd certainly take one of these. Anyone used this company's stuff before? They're not exactly cheap- these run about £130 or so,upholstered- but that isn't exactly extortionate either, if they're as nice as they look.

Hmm, they also do bolt-on subframes for BMW airhead twins (R80/65/100/90); can you say 'easy project for mechanically inept fool'? When yer drunk?

kevil and perry

Her we go vida-lovers...livin' la vida loco and then some. I have discovered a new perversion...1st was ageing honda 750/4s, then sportsters became my fix...now it's all about airhead beemers.

This one was built by Kevils speed shop, just down the road from me in Devon; google 'em, he does some great stuff with these old boxer twins. This baby looks like it should be tooling around So Cal, not an 80s autobahn.

There'll be plenty more like this- and maybe even my own...watch this space!

Same shirt, diff'rent day

Guess who's been playing on the blogger template design page? whaddya reckon? makes a change from black 'n' flames...tho' that's not always a good thing. More pics coming soon.

HELLO WORLD !!!!!

Crikey- it's been a while, huh?

I have been a busy bee to say the least.

I think it's time to share a little cafe goodness with you all, friends. I've kinda missed the blog thing to tell the truth. See ya round?

Oh yeah, I did forget all my login stuff, and even how to load pix. It's all come floodin' back!

The sporty's sadly gone- to a good owner at least. More next time...

Lastly- cafes are definitely flava o' the month at vida. Especially airhead beemers. Oh yes. One will be mine. My local Halfords are quaking in their boots already.
