Shop logo coming to life



Earlier this year we were lucky enough to meet a former engineer turned sculptor, John Elwell, who has turned his mad skills and passion for everything with an engine, to creating amazing large scale sculptural models out of aluminium. John's work is normally only available through the Pullman Gallery so we are honoured that he has agreed to work with us to create a show stopping piece of unique artwork for the workshop.

To say we are excited would be an understatement! and our first trip to John's workshop turned into a lengthy visit as we drooled over photo's of his previous work and the huuuge scale model currently under construction in the centre of the room. 

John first creates blueprint drawings for each piece and then hand forms the aluminium panels which are riveted over a steel space frame. 



I can't believe how FRICKIN AMAZING this thing looks and can't wait to see the end result! We are very grateful to John who is just crazy talented and also happens to be a thoroughly lovely bloke :)

Artistry in Iron, Master Builders Championship - Las Vegas Bikefest 2016



Holy shit!  We have been invited to take part in Artistry in Iron, Master Builders Championship 2016 which runs as part of Las Vegas Bikefest at the end of September. The competition is by invitation only and is limited to just 20 bikes!

It's all going to be a bit tight as we only have a few months to build the bike for this,, and we have yet to build our bike 'Speed Weevil' for the AMD World Championships in Cologne, Germany in October and our Biker Build Off bike for the Custom Show Emirates which takes place in Abu Dhabi in March 2017.  And all this on top of all the normal orders for parts still coming in and the customer bikes we have booked in for work over the summer.

AAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!  I could start to panic......

DLC Coating on fork stanchions



As a follow up to a previous post we did on DLC Coating, here is another detail shot of the amazing colours you can get with this 'black' coating on your fork stanchions.  Seen here on 'The Fantastic Mr Fox' the colours change from every angle depending on how the light hits it.

Would really love to do a whole bike in this finish.... LOVE IT!!!

Thanks Lorne!

Custom tail fin/oil cooler



An awesome shot from Mark at Bikerlifestyle of the 316 stainless tail fin/oil cooler on Skink which was on display this weekend at Kickback 8 Custom Bike Show. Not just a cooler stuck in a tail piece, but both made to fit together as one entity. 

Thanks to Mark at Bikerlifestyle for the pic!

Kickback Custom Bike Show is here!


Today we are up in Stoneleigh at Kickback 8 Custom Bike Show.  It's been a slog to get the bikes ready but we made it!

There was a few too many drinks consumed last night so the 6am show set up was a little challenging to say the least, but Damage and Rhino pulled it out the bag as ever and had the stand up in no time. Pete was 'supervising'.



Show opens at 12.30pm,, if you're going to be there stop by and say hi.  We have my own bike 'Skink' and a Harley Shovelhead custom build 'Taxtabash' with us as well as some parts and t-shirts. You can also check out the mighty TP pro-series engine we have on display. We also have sweets!

Flea hittin summer schitt early!



You always know that summers on it's way when our fantastic Italian Ice Cream man appears in his van singing and dancing and generally brightening up our day.  Flea decided that she wasn't going to miss out on any of this action and managed to cadge a whole cone to herself,, not good for her diet but we all need a treat sometimes.

TP Engines




Rocket Bobs are now dealers for TP engines. YAYY ☺

We've used them in several builds and straight off knew we had to be dealers for them, definitely the best engines we have ever used and have one fitted in my own bike Skink.

3 Finger Eddy fuel tank to t-shirt



The paintwork on 3 Finger Eddy was done by Art Slade (Oxford) but the original 3FE artwork was created by our friend Tony Reynolds, better know by some as Tony the Engraver.

The design also featured on this AC cover which was engraved by Tony and was later fitted to one of our own bikes Hullabaloo (or Skink depending on what mood I'm in). I should point out that Tony absolutely hated the fact that we powder coated the cover in this clear red and still won't talk about it to this day! :)
Tony in now in the process of taking Eddy on a little story of his own and is developing the artwork to feature on some new t-shirts for us YAYY!!  WE LOVE TONY! XOXOXO 

It's looking great so far and we can't wait to get these new t's up on the website.


These will be available soon and you can find them in the webshop here.  But you'd better hurry as they're selling out already!

Skinny seats for your not so skinny butt


A quick pic of one of our ultra skinny Weeli seats before I get it boxed up to send out to the customer who wanted the black leather with a contrast white stitching.

Made to fit our Voodoo kit for Dynas, these seats are finished with high grade leather which features gel foam in the ribs to give your butt that extra bit of cushioning for those long rides.  They are available in different colour combo's at no extra charge.
