kool ironhead sporty, no info on it i'm afraid but sometimes you don't need any.

max grundy, class.

bosting weekend at the fourth le-rock independence rally, held at the duke william in matlock, not a million miles awayfrom home and certainly no epic roadtrip, just time to catch up with old friends and chill, the ride-out was a laugh, around 25 bikes, [led by dangerous dave on a ducati!], on a quick 70 mile blast around the peak district, back to the pub, a couple of beers and a walk into the 'bath for a fish and chip blowout. back to the campsite and we meet up with nick who's had an epic afternoon on the guzzi project, carl arrives on the bonnie after a wet ride over from lincolnshire and we slip into party mode, thanks barse, gordy, dangerous, kev, nick, chris, jake and carl. sunday morning and i skin out early, the a6 is a great bit of road when theres not the usual heavy traffic, police and twats about, i'm home before the family are up, i brew a tea and the dogs follow me into the shed, i take a roll of scotchbrite and start to dull off all the polished aluminium on the sporty reducing it to a matt finish, don't know why, it just seemed the right thing to do and sometimes you just have to do the right thing, you dig?

classic road movie, 'two lane blacktop', the chevy is a real tough car, no show-all go, proper.

french policemen 'helping' a citizen of paris, nice to know it's not just our country that have a great police force, i bet the french police wouldn't put a camera van on the wirksworth road to help motorcyclists 'stay shiny side up', yeah, whatever, sack your tag-line writer and leave me to enjoy my favourite road.

xs 650 yamaha cafe racer, you spend ages looking for bikes on the net that make you go 'yeah', last night the norton, tonight this xs650, it restores my faith that there are still people out there who build class bikes, very, very nice motorcycle.

new sportster racer in the italian race series, still think it's a girls bike big twin lard arse bloke?

norton , i'd like to lick this motorcycle.

sorry for the poor picture quality, i scanned this from a give away that came with 'garage' magazine, real atmospheric picture, a guy and his bike with one sole aim, to go faster than anyone else, cool.

the vyrus ducati, saw this in the flesh at the nec bike show, stunning engineering.
