Just as i was trying to get my head round things ,i get a fucking letter off the hospital saying that due to diabetes my eyesight is deteriorating ,its a warning ,that if i don't clean up my act my eyesight and prob my life will be lost,i have to lose weight,change my diet etc etc ,i feel really fucking depressed ,I'm lucky that i have a supportive family,I've got to straighten myself out!!,lately I'm looking on the fucking black side of everything ,my temper is increasing day by day,I'm getting more intolerant with the fucking arseholes i have to deal with at work everyday,and today i have cancelled a few builds i was doing for friends because i just can't guarantee i will finish them anymore

Cafe Racer/Bobber/Brat

how it should be done!

Kev's bike,my NSU,AND SHIT









First of all Kevs bike,i have fitted a lot of old cb parts to this,all it needs is the seat pan covering,electrics,and a few bits,and my NSU ,I  have started on the frame and made the rear section ,it now needs polishing and the frame put back on my jig,i have got some original cb 750 clocks for my cafe racer and a old headlamp,i think it will turn out good,I better take the 8cyl NSU out of the cupboard in the house before my wife finds it also!!
