Well Kees and I went to this years "Rumble in The Alley" custom show and although the weather was a bit dodgy it was a fun day out.

My camera lens was a bit grubby so the pics aren't too flash but you'll get the idea....no billet bolt-on ***** at rumble this year



Its all about Shovels and Irons really...





....and Triumphs and XS650 Yamahas



This one is my favourite as it has 1/4 of an aircraft radial engine...sweet!



















Choppers are back in vogue in NZ..





They even had a mobile Dyno so people could compare *******



I told this guy that if his 131cu Jims/SE motor produced less than 140HP then it wasn't set up properly...it gave 126HP and was running so lean I told him to trailer it home.



That is all for today...

 

Cool pics. I like them shovels. A project will find its way into my shop.

 

I like these kinds of bike shows. Really shows the craftmanship of builders. Not a bunch of ***** bolted together. Raw talent. Thanks for sharing, Spanners39.

Ride Safe,
Harold

 

Cool pics! Thank for sharing.

 

a lot of those bikes look like they were built 30 years ago

 

Yeah, Hipsters building retro bikes is big news in NZ these days....some creative buggers too!
