PETER'S DRAG BIKE

 

Peter Allan's Sprinter built by Baron's Speed Shop. Equally beautiful photos by Gary Margerum. Full details in last months Back Street Heroes.
He sold me Old Blu' back to make space for this, wise move..

OLD BLAH

 

Some history for Hugo and anyone else who cares. This is from BSH May 1992. Phil Mather's writeups of the bike in the '70s can be found by hitting the Old Blu tag. Basically this is how i found it less engine and box and very rotten, the seat base was made from wood and had disintegrated, the rear frame rails had rusted right through, way beyond patina. Should've kept the toolbox though. More another day....

ANY EXCUSE

 

 

Seren Gibson in the studio for BSH photoshoot in 2009. She has just starred in a video for Hadouken (Bad Signal). I watched it so you don't have to, she's great, song's shit.

SWEDISH TRI

An all time favourite from BSH early '90s.

THE GRAVE DIGGER

Dave Wardens 500MSS Velo from 1976. Chequer plate should be left for trailers though.

THE PHIL MATHER FILES

In the mid '70s journalist Phil Mather did a number of photo shoots and features on the top UK custom bikes of the era, most were featured in a long gone magazine called Motorcycling Monthly and 18 years ago were repeated in BSH as a series titled Rearview Mirror.
Phil (and BSH) have been good enough to give me the OK to re-run them on here and i will be posting them over the next few weeks. I dont propose to imprint the photos with a logo but please remember these are all copyright to the owner and he is keen to keep it that way so no re-blogging without permish', ya.

CLASS OF '91

Can you remember what won the Custom Chrome Worlds Shiniest Groke bike of the year award a couple of years ago ? thought not, but everyone remembers the Blat, Bulldog Bash 1991, pics from BSH.
