ISSUE 16 - SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2007

This photo shoot turned out to be a right 2 and 8 when my camera went on the blink. It was all made kosher when I managed to get my rubber bands on some high quality Persian rugs though! Can you Adam and Eve it?

Sonny and his boys at ‘Rod Dog Customs’ are cutting it with this ground scraping full custom Shovelhead that looks like a ’41 Chevy lowrider on 2 wheels! This beast is East LA style at its best and is aptly named…‘The Fleetline’.

Triton means half Triumph and half Norton. Everyone knows that right? Does that mean a Chevy powered Ford is a Fevy? Or would it be a Chord? Oh god it’s stressing me out just thinking about it…wait…what about a Hemi powered Willys?! A Wemi? A Wemi! Run for your Lives!!!

When I was in school the Sun newspaper cost 15p, ‘New Kids on The Block’ were ruling it in the charts and Kevin Doyle fondly referred to me as ‘Applehead’. To say that I hated school was an understatement. If only there had been a class where I could escape it all and do something cool like build a chopped ’58 Panhead…yeah right…hold on…Kevin Baas teaches that class right now!
Fuck you Kevin Doyle, where are you now? Yes, still working at B&Q you loser!

I think I have spoken about this before, but my mate Yak has a cat called Peter. He is completely off his rocker! Peter that is, not Yak…well…Yak can be a bit of a handful at times too…anyway…what was I saying? Oh yeah he has a Cat called Peter. Brilliant.

This Triumph T120TT Drag/ Bonneville bike is an absolute time warp! It’s not much on cornering, but it’s sure hell on the straightaway!!

Part 6 of our world famous ‘Style Bible’ literally breaks boundaries with an array of ‘must have’ hairstyles. This one is called the ‘Chicken de China de Chinese Chicken.’

When I was about 9 ½ I remember some old geezer who lived down the road from me in Mitcham who owned a really rough beezer. He must have been losing his mind a bit because he would always repeat himself. I must of heard that “BSA actually stands for bloody sore arse”, maybe 50 times? The funny thing was his bike was a swing arm BSA Bantam, so I think he was exaggerating his quote just a little bit. First: Swing Arm bikes are actually quite comfortable and can be ridden all day as long as you are not doing over a ton. Second: The raw power of the Bantam’s 125cc engine would only take it up to about 45mph tops! The BSA you see here is an A10 and it is pure sweetness.

Dur Dur Dun Dur…Dun Dur Dur…Derdlder Dun Dur Dur…Dur Dur Dur Dur Dur Dunder!



The EDR this year was absolutely mental…I think…It all seems a bit hazy…I do kind of remember the organizer setting fire to his own head…or did I dream that?...who gave me that tequila with the marijuana in it?…Just so you know it was your fault that I woke up on the Sunday morning only wearing my denim vest and newly acquired snakeskin boots…part 2…image by: Brooks Manbeck

Dave Liventi makes people jealous big time with his stroked ’38 Knuckle. He doesn’t make me jealous though, I just hate him because his bike is rubbish and I wouldn’t even want a Knucklehead even if it were free. My Moto Morini is way cooler. If there are any people out there who do want to give away a Knuckle, please, please let me know. It’s not for me, it’s for my mate who likes them.

Max Schaaf rides his bike hard. I recently had the chance to ride with him on some windy Oakland roads and it was pure magic. When I say ride ‘with him’…erm…I was actually behind him…only because I wanted to see his back tire from a distance and …er…ok, I ate his dust. Pics: The Flyin’ Dutchman.

If this bike looks familiar, it’s because it graced the cover of DicE magazine Issue 1! I’m not sure how you recognized it though because it looks a lot shinier now since our mate Marco got his hands on it! When Matt Davis rode it around London it was black, covered in oil and had a rainbow flag hanging off it (?). Come to think of it we didn’t even feature it in the mag! How could you recognize it from such a close up shot?! You liar!

The guys over in Sweden certainly know how to build a pukka bike. When Christer Ehling showed me the photos he shot of the ‘Jokers’ CC/MC I nearly wet myself! It was impossible to run such great images in 1 article so here is the first in a 6 part series!!

Do you remember when ‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ came out on the Sega Megadrive? I do! I pushed my old Sega Master System out the way and locked myself in my bedroom for 2 days. I completed it and I found all the cheats. Beat that.

Irish Rich is a legend. Cheers.

Dr. Glory recently had to prescribe his own sedatives when he got in a bit of a tangle after his front tire blew out at 80mph. Lucky he only spun his motorcycle out after getting across 4 lanes of traffic and hitting gravel on the hard shoulder. Injuries were very minimal, but you can’t be too careful. 400mg of Valium a day should do it.
