Hot Pants and Choppers

Well, where to start? Only two things are certain here. That front mudguard will never be the same again, and if our man lets go of the fork leg, he'll never get the distortion out.
As for the lady below, let us have your Chopper comments please (oh, and that's a CB radio she's good-buddying into). Much more clean, healthy hot-panted fun over at Hot Pants. MP

Black Leather Mini

Leather has been scientifically proven to be the best natural anti-abrasion material for those who make a habit of sliding down the road on their arse. Modern synthetic mixes of kevlar have now proven superior in this respect, but not for the act of frottage. BP
Charles Copeland strip artist?

His nibs

Yes, a fountain pen. I dug it out of the drawer the other day because I decided, for the first time in yonks, to hand-write a letter. The pen didn't work, or at least, it would work for a few lines then fade away. A fuel blockage. I spent the next half-hour rinsing it through with warm water, then with ammonia solution and finally stroking the nib with a fine artist's brush dipped in the same. It worked, and I was almost as chuffed as if I'd successfully resuscitated a Keihin flatslide.

Then this morning a postcard arrived from Ben P, which made me smile just to see his distinctive handwriting, and all this has reaffirmed to me that the hand-written word is a lovely thing. It's not all about emails and screens and printers. Which is perhaps why we like bikes that bare their shuddering, greasy arses and that need to be fettled and nurtured to keep them sweet. Hands on. It's what it's all about. MP

Why Rollerball?

As well as a seriously high-brow deconstruction of the 1975 cult classic by acclaimed director and film buff Alex Cox, SB#6 also has a strange story about a man in a metalflake helmet, fishnet stockings, and very small wheels. And asks why? BP

Dang

Some impressive two-stroke finning.A combination of soft but sturdy legs (topped off with a peak of pants), a CR125M crosser, and a man with a large drooping moustache was all too much for me on Gary's post last Tuesday about Washington vintage MX. Alarm bells started ringing and I had to investigate. After employing my best friend Google, I quickly came upon this site of Lovelies selling T shirts. BP
