Quick snaps of this Beemer in Hoxton on Saturday. I know nothing about the bike but it has a nice honest charm to it, and I love the seat.

Murky past
Dice #39 came through the post today, got to say I think it's the best so far. The insert mag; Deadend reminded me of my low rider days, with UK club Lo-rdz. From the top then; 1975 Chevy Nova, 1983 Mercedes W123 280e, 1994 Ford Scorpio. Missing from the line up is the 1980 Buick Regal.
Some good times were had, and some very lairy nights.

Mojo!
A good evening. First off I shaped the exhaust hanger I'd made to allow the silencer a better sitting position. Use of the blowtorch and some pipe for leverage left me with two nice curves.
A bit of scotchbriting later and it was on the bike along with the strap I made to replace the gaudy tinfoil thing that ebay turned up.
Then it was a case of on with the new stainless steel chain snails, courtesy of Hessler Rallye Team from Germany. Also got the new Renthal chain fitted, and the run is perfect. Phew!
A bit of a conundrum; kevlar Renthal grips that compliment the olde English white paint (LHS) or Biltwell Kung Fu's that suit the style of the bike and go more with the saddle? Thoughts anyone?
