SCOOP

OK,OK, it's yet another sportster chopper on the blog- but when it's this good, who cares? I mentioned I'd be bringing some pix of a great bike I'd spotted round at my parts supplier, and here it is. It was built by Southampton's Attitude Customs- generally better-known for f*t tyre stuff- but they've nailled the classic look on this beauty. I'm not sure if that's a Flyrite frame, but it's deffo got a 1200 motor, S+S carb, shotblasted cases, and a heap of other cool stuff. Twisted chrome bars, brass risers and shift peg, nicely done heatwrapped pipes all look great, along with vintage avons and a very DicE-mag inspired squirt job. 'Scuse the crumby phone-pix, and I couldn't really get a good ancle on account of all the bikes in the yard.

You might notice a sidecar rig beneath a tarp. Ian (the parts guy) scored a shovel from Iran for 1500 sobs and is planning on a combo project. Screw ebay, that's what you call a proper deal.

Hokey ass

Where do you find unchopped 5-window bodies for roughly what you'd pay for a plastic repro?

where else?
This body style is way up my wish list, anyone seen that satin black unchopped 5 window with the white firewall? Wicked car and a massive inspiration to me, for sure.

Enjoy the last bank holiday friends, back to winter soon!

no more!

...no more pix from the battz open day. I can hear the collective sigh of relief already from all 3 of you. Well, not quite all finished- here's a 1200 sporty from Southampton's Attitude customs, which some of you may know as Si Harris, a well-known dude in the bike-building world. As for this one, which was up for 6 large, it's ok I guess: I saw another of his round at my parts supplier the other day which was WAY better than this, got pix natch, stay posted cos this other one's a cracker.

Sadly, as to the first pic, some fucka was trying to take the piss out of the event with a silly blue joke bike parked outside. To make matters worse, he even crashed the bastardos aftershow party. No class! We never made it out of the A-shar valley back in '68 to take this shit, no way mofo.

I just signed up properly to Rods n Sods, seems like a wicked online community forum. Mostly cars, but still cool. Check 'em out http://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/

Also, their classified prices for parts n cars seem a whole lot more 'enthusiast friendly' than egay!
