Random Dude Award

Brian started a single award for this years swap meet. The Random Dude Award. He picked a random dude out of the crowd and told him to pick his favorite bike at the show to win an award. This year I'm proud to say that Joshy won the trophy with my old Pommie Bastard XS650. She's still on the road and he's still riding the piss out of her which is great to see. and hear. Congrats Josh on having the approval of some random dude.

Pommie Performance

Well it handles far better than I expected. Quite good actually despite the heavy front end. That extra big sprocket in the back makes a bIG difference in Jam fo sho. Gonna need one of those for Dale this year!! Brakes well, engine runs strong. Small flat spot just off idle until it warms up. Not sure if it's just running lean or if I'll need to change the pilot jets to something bigger, but all in all...really sweet. I think I'll get some plates for it and ride it while it's listed cuz it's gonna be a super fun little machine.

Monstor Cycle-Man-I-A bitch Post

Well it was a great weekend of bike talk, beer, psychobilly, roller derby bouts and bullshit. Here's a few highlights.
Will rolled down from little La with a crew to take ownership of one Will Power. Cool cat. Good to meet you dude, got me thinkin about a Northern trek on Dale this summer.

Another satisfied HamBone customer.


Met the Cycle Boys from Brandon Manitoba. Super cool cats, bikes, parts and paint. Keep an eye out for these guys.


This whole tank was done with a sharpie and then cleared. looked amazing.


Local Lowbrow'rs the Bastards were out in usual style and had a few new bikes and bits to show off.
Two highlights for me were Rich's Evo sporting a killer new paint and seat combo...


and Jessop's (Loco Bastardo of 50's Haze) Killer Pan/Shovel. In my mind, best in show. Can't wait to roll around town next to that.

The best part of Cyclemania is always shooting the shit and thanks to the MC living room display this year we had plenty of opportunity for that.


Got to chat with a guy from Sweden who used to race sidecar dirt trackers and ran XS650 engines that he claims he had bore and stroked to 950cc. Awesome. Shot the shit for a while with "Moose" outta North Battleford and got a chance to meet Robin and his Dad from 50's Haze.


Great to meet you all and feel free to give us a shout any time yer in town. In the end I guess the judges appreciated the informal gathering place that was our display, enough to award HamBone and me the award for Best Group Display. We were proud to say that every beer can in the display was drunk in the display. No outside recycling was transported in.

Introducing Pommie Bastard


Got Pommie out on the street today for his mystical test run. Frickin' cold out so I had trouble getting him started. Once I did I put'er in gear *CLUNk*! Clutch needs adjusting I reckon, but as a result of the chain tensing up my tensioner (obviously inferior in it's design) bent sideways preventing the test ride from going forward. Ahhrrgghhh.

Progress

Put together a close-to-final mockup of Pommie B. Still some spacing and alignment issues to work out and wiring and and and, but there's a pretty nice bike in there somewhere.
