Changing Gear

perform in the Knucklehead tommorow.

Knucklehead ready to Roll
All thats needed now is just a sprinkling of Sunshine
to warm up the air so we can go for a ride without freezing to death
Knucklehead Spark Plugs
After keeping a little log for a year on how my champions are running in my knuck i have finally decided to quit using them , whether the D16 you buy today are old stock or not i don't know , but i do know they burn out quickly, give a weak spark or an intermittent spark which in turn makes your bike run like a pig , spending time checking over all the usual things connected with these symptoms like float level,plug leads, slipped timing ,bad points , condenser ,when all along its the brand new Champion plugs you have just screwed in that are the culprit !! without changing a thing on several occasions except the Plugs from D16 Champions to NGK AB-6 the Bike ran like a dream !!!
what plugs are you running in your knuckleheads ???
oh i have around 40 D16 for sale
Casting a Line
Suns Shining and Jack frost is being kicked out of Town !!!
Thoughts of Rolling the Knucklehead out
and Casting my fly on a Nice Trout Fill my Mind.
Rain and Stars
Two more Odel Stars for the 7 note knucklehead and some funky Rain Goggles for better vision around the Death Race 2000 M25 London orbital , those of you that have been on it in torrential rain know what I'm talking about …………… zero Vision surrounded on all lanes by Polish & Russian Juggernauts …Roll on LAUK13 , oh has anybody out there ever used these goggles for real ???
The Right Speed
Finally got the 41-46 Speedometer in the Right Hole now that the One year only 47 speedo has vacated and found a new home in the Stock 47 knuck build
Sympathy for the Devil
Back in 1977 i left School , the Stones released the double album Love you live and pelle and his mates where rolling there knucks and flatties through the Swedish summer …. the Love you Live Album was just a best hits album bar 2 tracks
and the bikes in the Photos were around at least 15 years prior to 1977.
its now 36 years on and we are still building the same bikes ………….
It seems nothing changes except the quality of the
photos and the quality of the Sound……..

Buddy Gluteus maximus
Long hauls on Buddy seats are heaven , after spending years on Cool Bates i guess Ive got too the Don't give a fuck stage and think nothing about putting a Huge ugly buddy seat on the knuck, that said the more i look at photos of old knucks with buddy seats the more i dig them, although the only buddy seat that was cool from the outset were the early thin ones which are as rare as Hens Teeth & sell for over
$3 grand on the Bay of thieves,
