MY SECOND INDY BAND, 1987, PISSED AND PLAYIN UP LIKE A SECOND HAND CHAINSAW

GOD KNOWS WHY I USED TO DRINK RUM AND COKE . . . . YUCK !! DRANK LOTS OF IT THOUGH . . . ON DRUMS IS JOHNNY HIPPOCRATES, BASS IS TEZ STEPHENS AND I'M ON VOX . . . . .

ON A SAD NOTE, MARS, AT LEFT ON THE GRETCH GUIT, LEFT US SEVEN YEARS AGO ON CHRISTMAS DAY, HE HAD A SUPER COOL '80 DARMAH AND A FUCKING SICK '65 VALIANT REGAL WITH A FULLY WHACKED OUT, LUMPY, MONSTER CAM 360 IN IT BACK THEN . . . . FOREVER IN MY THOUGHTS AND HEART . . . .

SIDENOTE - Mars, or Mario Spina, Johnny and Tez were all sorta swarthy and Mediterranean lookin and I had red hair and pale skin, naturally, lots of the fan base crew and mates used to call us Three Wogs and a Dog . . . . we loved it, '86 to '90 . . . until I had to take a year and a half off life . . . .
but that's another story entirely

CLASSIC SHOT FROM THE SUPER SWEDE'S BLOG

****** D'OH !!! THIS IS A CORRECTIVE/EDIT/RETRACTION/PREAMBLE THINGY - ALSO AN OBJECT LESSON IN OPENING YOUR FRIGGIN EYES . . .
THE POSTED SHOT IN THE LINK IN THIS WRITE UP IS NOT A TRUMPY BUT A BEEZER, AS I NOW REALISE . . . .
GOING BACK TO WHEN I FIRST SAW IT EIGHTEEN ODD MONTHS AGO, I TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE FRONT BRAKE, I FIGURED A '71-'72 TRUMPY JOB AND, LIKE A CONCEITED, ARROGANT DICK, AUTO ASSUMED THE WHOLE BIKE WAS A TRUMPET, EVEN THOUGH A QUICK SQUIZ AT THE MOTOR WOULD HAVE FIXED THAT DELUSION INSTANTLY. . . .
THAT TOTALLY INCORRECT ASSUMPTION HAS STAYED WITH ME SINCE, UNTIL FIFTEEN EMBARRASSING MINUTES AGO WHEN I LOOKED AGAIN WITH OPEN EYES, LIKE A MIS-INTERPPRETED LYRIC THAT YOU SING INCORRECTLY UNTIL SOMEONE POINTS IT OUT . . . .
I WAS GOING TO DELETE THE WHOLE THING BUT KINDA THOUGHT IT COWARDLY, BESIDES, THE OLD BEEZERS DID PRETTY WELL IN THE FLAT TRACK SCENE BACK IN THE DAY ANYWAY AND I WAS SORT OF STUPIDLY PROUD OF MY ALLITERATION ATTEMPTS AS WELL . . . . SO, IF YOU LIKE, READ ON AND EXCUSE MY BLINDNESS AND DUMBARSED ARROGANCE, CHEERS, WHITELINES.
P.S - APOLOGIES TO ALL FANS OF BOTH MARQUES WHO MAY HAVE BEEN OFFENDED.

Rigid Hips Stockholm: June 2010

Interestingly, I once asked Barry Sheene who was a close mate of my then boss, Paul 'Fat Count' Feeney, if he would like to take my freshly rebuilt '74 Bonnie, with 650 exhaust cam and other goodies, for a thrash, 'Ace' was at this point getting about on the newly released Monster 900 Duke . . . . mostly on it's back wheel, his response was typically to the point . . . " Doggy [me], I stopped riding these leaky old shitboxes back in the sixties mate . . . thanks, but piss off !!". Total bloody classic, he did, however, wring the neck out of my '94 Speed Triple a short time later . . .

VALE BARRY AND GARY . . . GONE BUT DEFINITELY NOT FORGOTTEN . . .

"STANCE" . . . WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE WORD MEAN ???

WELL, IT CAN MEAN EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS OF THE PHYSICAL AND AESTHETIC PRESENCE OF YOUR RIDE, TWO WHEELS OR FOUR . . .

It has never ceased to fry my tiny little mind how many potentially "SUPREME" bikes and cars end up lookin like complete kook mobiles because it's sittin like a high pile of dogshit on a carpet !! Dudes spend so much coin, put so much blood, sweat, tears and years into a project only to fuck it up by not getting the STANCE bang on . . . .
There isn't one rule for everything, it's all down to the individual machine, period of influence, designated function, wheel and tyre combo, whatever . . . . however, if you fail in getting to grips with that little six letter word, you just flushed all your dreams for something really fucking cool right down the shitter !!!

THE NEED TO VENT . . . . LAZINESS, PHOBIA AND ME . . .

I've always been daunted by this whole new, well, it was new ten or so years ago, computer based, electronic communications shindig. However, having taken the bull by the balls and decided to finally embrace this whole caper of joining in on so many blogs, sites and other shit that I have been following from a 'safe, remote' distance for, in many cases years and years, the down side is this . . . .
There is so much going on in my old, beat up, hazy, addled mind, in some cases, so much bile, vindictive, vitriol and poison that has reached critical mass, sadly, this needs to be let out . . . . this pustulescent, gangrenous ulcer of loathing and ill-will has to be lanced . . . this putrid mental matter has to go somewhere and my blog is going to act as the splashback mechanism to save my feet from getting covered in this vile, stenching, possibly protracted, ejaculation of festering psycho-shite.
These will be my personal spewings and rantings, I take full responsibility for any offence it might cause while retracting nothing . . . deal with it or leave . . . too old, bitter and twisted to give a rat's arse and no intention of changing . . . . now that's out of the way, on with show . . . .
I'll be educating myself as to getting pics, videos and other visuals up properly . . . all the crazy/cool stuff so many of you out there in the ether have long since totally mastered . . . just give me time . . . . it's not easy overcoming decades of phobias and fears regarding the modern world of computers, cyberspace and all the othes bumf I've previously dedicated my life to avoiding and taking the piss out of . . . . . .

NOW . . . . OFF FOR A THRASH ON THE OLD SHOVELLER TO CLEAR MY FOGGY HEAD !!

FINAL THOUGHT BEFORE BEDDIE BYES

Don't ever go lumping Jesse James in with OCC or any other of the Johnny-come-slyly hacks out there, nothin more than that . . . . just sayin . . . . just puttin it out there . . . . . it's about time spent, history and dues paid . . . nye nye tiny world . . . ZZzzzzzzzzzzz
