Junk Motorcycle Magazine Issue #5..

Issue #5 (phew that means Junk has been in existance for one whole year now..) is out later on next week I hear from t'office. Not seen it in pulp yet myself & some of you will have it in your hands before I do as I am flying to California one day before it's bound and collected from the printers this time.. Enjoy!

Comin' home for Xmas..

Only a few days left before I up sticks for California to be reunited with my wife Suzy and believe me I'm counting the hours down like a kid waiting for Xmas! It's been a challenge for both of us being separated so soon after getting wed but we've coped by a bit of Skyping and a bunch of expensive cell calls.. Military families separated by distance and time you are in my thoughts now - may your reunions be as soon as possible - and happy holidays everyone!

Announcement!

On 31st Oct 2011, Halloween I married gorgeous Suzy Mount and we will soon be living in Carlsbad CA together!

California for couple months..

Junk has decamped to Carlsbad Ca for a few weeks - this is my temporary office..

Junk Issue #3

Hey guys, Junk issue #3 ships this coming week - a little later than planned but - oh well, sh*t happens! Stay patient and I hope you enjoy when you get it.. Billy

3rd Hippy Killer HoeDown..

I will be there this time!

Pete at Chopsnbobbers recently finished this beautiful Ironhead. We have a full photoshoot coming in Junk issue #3 out June 2011..

I'm here.. it's nice to be home ;)

Yay!

CalifornIA... :)

I am making a short visit to Southern California next week to see all my old buddies there; I'm supposed to be taking a break (getting Junk off the ground hasn't been easy in any sense of the word) because I know from previous experience that stress builds up unseen.. I have been there done that & got the Xanax! Don't want to go there again thank you.. BUT, if I see any nice bikes while I am on holiday... ;)

Junk availability info..

Junk Motorcycle Magazine will be available in double the number of stores from issue #3 (June 2011) onwards.. I think the idea is to get Junk available in the North and Scotland particularily.

Subs copies posted..

I've mailed out copies of issue #2 to each & every subscriber now.. Enjoy!

The Eagle has landed..

..and I now have Junk all over my hall.. Subscriber's copies of Junk that is.. : -D I haven't even opened one myself yet but soon as I've recovered from humping 820 magazines up 3 flights of stairs to the flat I'm going to do a quick bit of quality control then tomorrow, subscriber's copies of issue #2 will be despatched.. Phew!

Junk Issue #2

I'm collecting the subscriber's copies of issue #2 tomorrow! Junk will also be in selected quality newsagents as before. Plans are afoot to get Junk into another wholesale network too for issue #3 which will give us nationwide exposure - England, Scotland - everywhere.. A little more coffee please Jeeves.! Just kidding. Starting Junk has been a big financial risk and it's all pay out pay out pay out at the moment. I hope it will pay off in the end and I can say I have established an advert-free British old school motorcycle magazine that sticks to British made bikes (with the odd U.S. bike or 3 now and then). It wouldn't be possible without our faithful subscribers - that's why if you dig Junk when you get hold of issue #2 then please subscribe. If you ain't seen Junk yet - what the hell you waiting for - Xmas?? ;)

The files for issue #2 of Junk are at the printers now & I will have some magazines end of next week hopefully, which is a great feeling after a hectic couple weeks doing last minute shoots and laboring at the computer long into the nights..
UPDATE: Issue #2 ships March 1st. Handful of copies issue #1 still up for grabs too. :)

Coming in Issue #2 Junk Motorcycle Magazine..

I just adore this bike. Full porno photoshoot coming in Junk issue #2.. It's been around the block a few times Pete Stansfield's creation, but a great bike is a great bike nonetheless so I couldn't talk myself out of featuring it.. :D>

Mods v Rockers...

B&W pic, gorgeous chicks.. yummy! (is the blonde going to lamp her or rip her lil mod dress open and suck on her nipples?)
My kind of photoshoot that - except it wasn't one of my gigs - DOH!!

Junk manifesto..

I'm really starting to get excited that one idea I had at the get-go when musing about creating a new magazine - the concept of an advert-free motorbike mag - might actually be possible.. Standard practise tells us not; when some little rags, like the freebies are almost nothing but ads. Now I am not having a pop at any other magazine here, neither am I an advert-hater but really; when you have to trawl thru page after page of glossy insurance ads or the already-well-known major parts supplier's catalogues.. it sometimes gets a but much! I just dug the idea of Junk being a little more elegant somehow. It is nigh on impossible to do a magazine devoid of ads if you have a bunch of big overheads like building rent, staff and investers to pay out of the pot, but that's the advantage a micro-business has (probably one of the only advantages).
1 man, 1 camera, 1 pc.. :)
With the support of all our new subscribers across the U.K., the U.S. and further afield we can perhaps achieve my vision of a features-only magazine I think. So, please consider a sub if you haven't already, and help be a part of something a bit different maybe..?!!!

Junk issue #2 content done..

Just shot a lil pre-unit Triumph today in London - it's the best trumpet bobber I have ever had the priviledge to see, and that's including U.S. and Japanese bikes - in the tin AND on the 'net! Unfaultable. Unforgettable. No shit.. OK it has been in a couple mags (harumph) b4 - way back when, but you ain't seen it shot like this.. no Sir.
This fortunate event wraps shooting for issue #2 and I have a week to get the T's crossed and the I's dotted. The plan is to have subscribers copies in my hands March 1st or the 2nd.
We have 15 bikes this issue - that's 7 trumps, 7 Harleys (2 knucks) & a lil BSA bobber. It's about 80 pc UK and 20 pc US motorcycles. 80 pages this time folks - NO ADS! That of course means I am still broke btw... :) Oh well, nothing new there..

Issue #2 Junk - Todd's Trump in the mix now.. :)

Anybody need a flyer for issue #2? - then just rip it straight off here- use the expanded pic by clicking onto the smaller one here - you'll get a better image size I think. Diggin' Todd's brown (maroon actually) trump big time here ..

Junk Issue #2 cover finalised..

Just sneaked Todd at Small City Customs insanely cool Triumph bobber into issue #2 - that's the lil' brown bike in the lower pane..

Issue #2 Junk Motorcycle Magazine flyer 2..

Another little look..

Layer Cake..

Saw this film the other night on freeview - bit tasty or what? I thought so..

Issue #2 Junk Motorcycle Magazine.. (preview)

Here's a quick trailer for issue #2 of Junk - I am going to upload it as a webpage instead of the POS I put up to start with! What bugs me about that is my GoDaddy bs email forwarding never worked from the get-go so at least now I'll have a usable email address on the website.. Not as catchy as "subs@.. but it works.
I'm real excited to get this new issue out there soon.. Enjoy!

Shaun's 3T rat..

Shaun's lovely little 350 - posted because I wanted to put it on the JJ in a thread about right side stands..

FLU...

Finally I'm getting the better of my flu - which I've had since f'kin Xmas day! I haven't been able to do anything more than post off Junk magazines to the faithful.. Now I'm back laying-up pages on issue #2 and I can tell you it's gonna be a fuckin' corker #2 is! :)
Just heard from my homeboy Shawn from Oceanside and the plan is to get some good CA action into issue #3 including a few bikes already shot back in 09 because you have to love that sweet light in the golden state!
