The Flattracker is off the bench...





It needs some minor fetteling, some tweeks, and it will live! The result will be a Matchless Model X on steriods! More to follow, including video's on the build...

Tom Petty...

Watched the BBC's film on Tom Petty on Friday and thought it was really good and it rekindled my interest in their music...keep on playing!


Great vid of Petty, Heartbreaks & Dylan playin' Knockin' On Heaven's Door here;

The Austrians!


Couldn't believe the dedication of these two Austrians (a Father and Son), who'd made the trip over to Kinlochleven on a borrowed Jawa! They loved the event and Scotland, and it was a highlight of the day chatting about the Grossglockner (I've been to Austria before, and it would be a dream to go again for this event with the Golden Streak taking on the hills!).

If the Austrian Bikers see this, get in touch!

The 1st Moidart Run...






...and Pre-65 Trial at Kinlochleven took place a couple of weeks back. Really enjoyed it, met a lot of new people, all the Bikes were ticking over nicely, good times all round.

Expect a video diary uploaded to youtube and this blog soon, but for the time being here is some pics from the event...
