DOWN HERE IN THE ANTIPODES MOST OF US ARE ROLLIN ON THE OCC TYPE SICKLE PICTURED AT TOP . . . . ALL THE LUXURIES OF HOME AND MORE, LOVELY COLOUR CHOICE AND . . . . NO, FUCK IT, I CAN'T GO ON, EVEN IN SARCASM . . . . ONE FUGLY PIECE OF SHIT . . . . THE RED SHOVEL ON THE OTHER HAND WAS THE LONGTERM PRIDE AND JOY OF MY GOOD MATE GEOFF . . . . CLEAN, HONEST AND LEGIT.

THE ABOVE MONSTROSITY IS APPARENTLY AN AMALGAM OF WHAT THE TRAVELLING IDIOT SHOW THAT
IS OCC THOUGHT A AUSTRALIAN THEMED RIDE SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT . . . . AN EXCEPTIONAL EYESORE EVEN BY THEIR WOEFUL STANDARDS OF NON-DESIGN . . . . EVERYBODY CARRIES A SURFBOARD LASHED TO
THEIR PRIMARY IN OZ, DIDN'T YOU KNOW ???


THE ABOVE, CLASSICALLY RAKED, SIMPLY APPOINTED, BIG INCH SHOVEL WAS A PROJECT OF MUCH PASSION AND COMMITMENT BY A VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MINE GOING BACK INTO THE NINETIES . . . . PUT TOGETHER BY GEOFF AND THE EVER TALENTED ROSCOE OVER SOME TIME . . . . SCOOPED 1st PRIZE AT THIS SHOW ON THE GOLDY WHEN IT WAS SNAPPED BY THE FELLA FROM 'CHOPPERS AUSTRALIA' BACK IN '05 . . . . AS STATED IN THE INTRO, CLEAN, HONEST AND THOROUGHLY FUCKING LEGIT.

  1. i think you are being a little harsh about the o.c.c bike mate, NOT! fucking horrible, i didn't realise that it was hard to get a bike registered over in oz, i guess we are lucky over here, [for the time being], when i built the sporty chop i just bought an old paughco ironhead frame, an old four-speed evo sporty, mated them together and stuck the reg off the donor bike on the chop, cut the original frame up and dumped it and robert's your mother's brother! it's a bitch when they start with all that regulations malarkey, the european union is trying to bring in all sort's of anti-bike legislation in over here, similar to the german t.u.v. standard's which are well harsh, they can't even change a pair of handlebar's without them being t.u.v approved and then you have to have your bike checked at an official testing station to make sure they are fitted correctly, absolute bollocks! keep thinking whitey, keep thinking....... yo bro fro ano mo, the lovester.

  2. Yes Lovey, sadly it is, even moreso in Queensland, never used to be this way but the G-Men and the stooges have really clamped down over the last decade and, frankly Mr Shankley, I couldn't be fucked playing the game, it all comes down to dollars versus time, I don't have enough of the former and I'm runnin out of the latter . . . I gotta say though that the more I look at other examples of the same bolt on kit the more I'm liking it relative to what I envision the final concept to be, it's growing on me like a nasty case of the clap. Great article on Mr Smith son, that stunningly tough bike of his has attained legend status. Keep on mucking Lovester. XX
