Junk issue #2 progress..

Well, it's early days but issue #2 of Junk looks set to be a corker.. I have decided to soothe eyes blurred by the short winter days & minds depressed by the pitiful amount of sun we see here at this time of year with two of the greatest Harley chops I have ever seen - shot in California & Nevada last year but never seen until issue 2. And if that ain't enough I am featuring some .45 flathead fun in the snow from Germany plus all the usual junk! More as I make it up..! Keep watchin' this space!

Sneaks...

It's a JJ Board joke.. ;)

This is a serious blog...

Yes he's started.. according to NASA!

Paparazzi'd up..

Comin' to a celeb's crotch near you.. or not. Maybe I 'll just shoot Junk #2 with it instead!

God bless Royal Mail special delivery..

The geek side of me loves this stuff.. Junk issue #2 will have some nice quality photography in it!

But...

..this is my reality... doh!

I keep dreaming of this...

Borrego CA. December 09 ha ha..

Caption suggestions invited..

"Always starts first soddin' kick he told me.."

Ha ha ha ..KEEP 'EM COMIN' ! :)

Visit to Baron's Speedshop..

OK I did have to brave some of the worst driving conditions I've ever seen on the back roads of Surrey but I got back safely with a bulging SD card full of nice shots of Dick's 'shop and this killer ride Original Sin actually owned by Dick's partner in crime Del - just kiddin' about the crime bit.. Full feature in Junk issue #2

PlumKrazy lives..

I think they've made a crackin' job of the frame and the tank!

Visit to Baron's Speedshop..

Visited my mate Dick at Baron's Speedshop in Croydon yesterday - Dick has been commissioned to respray PlumKrazy which has been given a kool metallic powder coat ready for the road next year with it's new owner. Here's an exclusive sneak peek at the result..

Christmas time...

Christmas; the season of goodwill and, er.. impatient drivers: there was the fool yesterday for instance; overtaking 4 or 5 cars at once; cutting in yards before a roundabout, and I'm sorry.. I don't know what came over me except maybe the tight skeins of sunday drivers (out and about on the roads on a monday christmas shopping I spose?) 4 or 5 cars bunched together for safety, not a car's length between them; doing 40 in the de-restricted zone of a 60 mph carriageway; none of them willing or indeed capable of overtaking safely with a screen full of Megane shaking it's "little" ass down the highway.. ;) Christmas; the season of good will and..

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder if this'll smoke it's rear tire?

Memories of summer...

Seems a long time ago now.. brrr!

Argh!

mmmm..

Update:

Junk Motorcycle Magazine has been despatched today to all subscribers in the UK, NI, & USA!
I hope you enjoy it - production time was limited on Issue#1 due to myself having to get all the distribution and publishing deals in place (yeah I know - bloody excuses..) BUT that's done now & I can guarantee Issue#2 will have more pages with some of the features I didn't get time to include in #1. We will have a tech page or three, some glimpses into the workshops of the poor and infamous and plenty of in- depth bike features - oh and skimpily dressed gurls.. available March 8th 2011 onwards.

JUNK It's 'ere - yay!

I collected the subscription copies of Junk today from the printers in Enfield! It's like Xmas has come early this year.. The quality is really great and the spreads (we have a lot) look fine over the spine because the magazine is what they call perfect bound (it uses glue not staples) - you can't really see but the cover is very shiny (unlike my motorbike) ;)
Subscribers will see their copies very soon now.
Junk Motorcycle Magazine will also be in the newsagents (and of course can be ordered) from December 17th 2010. Hah.... :)

A cool BMW - wow!

Cool styling, nice pipes, NO FRONT BRAKE??? Loving this lil bike..
Pic nicked from BritishIronworks blog..

R.I.P. Doug "Dragon" Drake

I was shocked to read this morning of the sudden passing of Jockey Journal Board moderator Dragon aka Doug Drake. Dragon only emailed me yesterday - maybe the day before on a JJ matter when he again helped me get a post onto the JockShop forum.

A slightly controversial figure, Dragon ruled the Board with an iron fist in a velvet glove & whilst he didn't suffer fools too gladly he would help anyone when they needed it & for that he will be very sadly missed by all JJers..

Shinya's work of Art..!

Killer motorcycle, still..

The Peepshows...

This is a really good band & I have been further damaging my ol' eardrums in the car with a few albums my friend Thom made up of the peepshows - I'm told they split a few years ago which is sad. I like the combination of punky simplicicity & intelligent chord progression plus the production is great.. 2 - 3 minute songs rule!

Cool 70's Hi-Fi .... ;)

Transcriptors Vestigial ha ha.. those were the days.

Insane rat rod seen recently..

Well, this little car built by Mr Rod Starley really takes the biscuit, 6. god-knows-what litre supercharged diesel engine neatly shoe-horned into a tiny '30s Singer Bantam body using the original chassis stiffened up somewhat.. :) unreal..

Slab City Riot 2..

Fuck, seeing this flyer made me soo pissed that I'm over here in the UK this fall - I went to the first Slab City Riot last year and it was the coolest rally I have ever been to - by a country mile.. Oh well.. Enjoy.

Nice Rat Rods..

This is my mate Paul's rod that was recently featured in the Audi R8 advert on T.V. The producers fitted green side panels to it temporarily..
