Awright (I was going to say ‘eyup’ but I’m not northern so…) how’s you this month?
I don’t ride much at night these days due to the laser eye surgery required to stop me from going blind (the joys of diabetes, eh?) damaging my night vision, but one of the things I’ve noticed on the rare occasions that I do venture out on the bike after darkness has fallen is that there aren’t anywhere near as many insects, particularly moths, committing hara-kiri on my headlight, jacket and visor. Yeah, there are a few, o’ course, but it’s nowhere near the same as it was when I was a kid (‘ee, when I were a lad’…), and riding at night in my dad’s car was like going through a snow-storm (or the jump to light-speed in scifi films). Even when I started riding bikes back in ’83 I remember having to clean the headlight of my ’ped, and my visor, every time I went out after dark ’cos the goo from deceased nocturnal lepidopterans just about covered them, and smeared summat rotten when you tried to wipe ’em off with a gloved hand. Now, though, I can’t remember the last time I had to clean a moth, an actual moth, off either a headlight or a visor. Similarly, leaving the back door of your house open after dark ensured that there was a veritable cloud of them flapping around any light left on, but these days I can sit in me lounge with the back door open to let cool air in, and nary be troubled by one all evening.
Well, actually not just rebuilding it – altering it too. Y’see, when it was first built all those years ago (1984… unbelievable that it was that long ago, it doesn’t feel that long ago, eh?) it was quite a low-seated beastie, with two two-into-one high level ’pipes. When Budgie and Uncle Chufty rebuilt it in 2001(ish) they fitted hooge motocross upside-downies that lifted the front dramatically, and longer rear shocks to even it up too, and it physically changed in stature quite a lot. Over the years, as the engine’s grown from the old 750/4 lump that it was built with originally to the frankly silly GSX-R 1100N motor it has now (around 145bhp… in a frame designed for 67), and with only one front disc, as MX forks only have mounts for one, I’ve toyed with idea of lowering it again, but you know how it is – while something’s working, you don’t really mess with it so… Pic by Richard Glynn
Now I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, and I can’t be arsed to look it up, but the editorials for BSH are usually the last thing written each month, usually with me sitting staring at a blank Word document for a number of hours desperately hoping that inspiration will strike. I’ve always thought that, really, you need to be fired up about something in order to write about it from a personal perspective, and at the moment, and for a good few months now actually, I’m not really too fired up about owt*. I read somewhere that once you’ve had a close call with your own mortality, it makes you re-examine the priorities, the things that’re important in your life, the way you think about things, and I don’t know whether, consciously or subconsciously, I’ve taken that on board, but a lot of things these days don’t seem quite so important as they perhaps once did, y’know? So, rather than try and be all table-thumping and righteous, I thought I’d talk about stuff that’s perhaps not really that important in the grand scheme of things… like moths, for instance.
Although it wasn’t particularly damaged in the smash (the feckin’ thing landed on me so it had a soft landing!), just the ’bars, RH ’peg and the tank really, I decided this was time (and, besides, I’d quite like proper brakes) to do it, and scored a set of GSX750 forks (and front hoop), a Bandit Six rear wheel, and a pair of Yamaha blue-star calipers, and Paul and Luke’ve put them on, dropping the height quite dramatically, and they’re making new ’pipes for it too as it seems a bit silly to restore it to its original ride height without kinda going the whole hog and making it look, near as dammit, as it did all those years ago too. ’Course, the only downside of this is that now the seat’s low enough for my good lady to ride it which means that, as she’s always liked it, but it’s been too tall for her, she’s going to keep nicking it. Ho hum. Anyway, the Kat’s back this issue is what I was trying to say in a roundabout way, okay?

*sorry, I know that was very northern and I’m not, but I lived in Derbyshire for five years and some of the mannerisms’ve rubbed off… and besides, owt, and nowt, are such great descriptive words, aren’t they?

If you’re a regular reader, and one of those following the Project Katana build-up, then you’ll know that last issue it was, as they say, conspicuous by its absence. This is because, y’see, Paul and Luke at Pointy Hat Wizard Fabrications’ve been rebuilding the old BSH survival bike, the Future Bike, for me after I dun crashed it back in February.

OCTOBER 2019
Peter Fonda, the star, and writer, of the classic biker film Easy Rider, died on the morning of August 16th aged 79. The official cause of death was respiratory failure due to lung cancer. Born in New York in 1940 to Henry Fonda and Frances Ford Seymour, he wrote and produced the seminal biker film, and co-star Dennis Hopper directed it, for a meagre (in film circles) $380,000 – it went on to gross $40 million worldwide, and has been a massive influence on both bikers and the biker culture, including this very magazine, ever since. He’s survived by his third wife, Margaret DeVogelaere, as well as his daughter, actress Bridget Fonda, and his son, Justin, and all of us here at Back Street Heroes’d like to offer our sincere condolences to them, and his many friends. Peter Fonda RIP.
BIKE SHED FESTIVAL
On 4-6th October, the Bike Shed are holding their first ever Bike Shed Festival at Lydden Hill race circuit in Kent. It’ll take place over the whole weekend, with multiple riding events on and off the tarmac, all designed to be accessible to riders who don’t normally ride on track, and have never considered racing. This is an opportunity to have fast, safe fun on your bike without the pressure of a full-on track-day, where the racing is about having fun with like-minded people without worrying about podium glory. And as well as the track riding, the Malle London team will be hosting ‘The Malle Trials’, a series of inappropriate motorcycle races and off-road fun, racing up the grassy hill beside the main track. As with all Bike Shed events, they want to create a spectacle, so cooler, rarer, more custom, and (in)appropriate bikes will get first dibs. There’ll also be high quality food, drink and accommodation, with brand and retail exhibitors of all kinds, plus entertainment aimed at a family (and dog)-friendly crowd. Lydden Hill is just 90 minutes from London, down the A2, near Dover, and you can get tickets, entries and more info from www.bikeshedfestival.com
COPDOCK MOTORCYCLE SHOW
This year’s Copdock Motorcycle Show, at Trinity Park, Ipswich, will be held on Sunday 6th October, and is probably the largest one-day motorcycle show in the UK. This year’s attractions include Allen Millyard and a selection of his amazing creations, the Tigers Children’s Motorcycle Display Team, trials ace Dougie Lampkin, BSH’s old mate Dave Coates’ Stunt Show, the Custom Bike marquee with show bikes and custom-related traders including paint shops and accessories, Ken Fox’s Wall of Death, a Motoball display, a ‘Bikes from the Past’ cavalcade and pre-’65 scrambler displays, Norwich Newstars Youth Grasstrack Club, hundreds of trade stands, more than 50 motorcycle club stands, a large autojumble area, live music, food, real ale, and the chance to win a brand new Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. Advance tickets are available from www. copdockmotorcycleshow.co.uk, for just £8.50 (accompanied under-14s free), or on the day just £10, and parking (both car and bike) is free.
a type of fuel tank, and a type of mudguard too, both being above average in dimensions.
FAZER – well-regarded Yamaha four-cylinder of
600 and 1000cc capacities. Also initially a FZ750 derivation (the FZX) used in a slightly V-Maxstyled street/cruiser back in the ’80s, although it’s not wise to call an FZX a ‘baby V-Max’ in front of a real V-Max owner (or an FZX one, come to think of it) unless you’re not fond of your own teeth.
FEMA – the Federation of European Motorcyclists’ Associations, of which MAG is a member, tries to look after motorcyclists’ interests around Europe with varying degrees of success depending on who you talk to… overall, though, it’s a good thing. FENDER – a make of guitar, as played by Bob
Dylan, David Gilmour, Merle Haggard, and Noel Gallagher. Not a feckin’ mudguard, we’re not Americans, okay?
FISHTAIL – an exhaust silencer that looks,
as the name suggests, like the tail of a fish. Virtually compulsory for Sixties-style chops… and Velocettes.
FIZZIE – Yamaha FS1E, iconic 50cc bike from the late ’70s that was (or could be made anyway) ridiculously fast in comparison with other 50s. Many BSH folk’ll’ve cut their teeth on a Fizzie, sometimes literally as many of us stacked them on a regular basis… FL – Harley-Davidson’s designation, used since 1941, to denote the larger-framed Touring models, initially with the Knucklehead engine. Supplementary letters denote individual models, of which there are many – FLHTCUTG anyone? FLAT-HEAD SCREWDRIVER – universal tool variously used for opening paint cans, prying tyres off rims, and gouging holes in your palm. FLATHEAD – older Harley side-valve engines, of which there are two main’uns; the 1200 and the 45 (cubic inches – 750cc). The 45 is more common, and began life in 1929, before seeing lots of action as the military WLA (and Canadianspec WLC), also known as the ‘Liberator’, and continued in use in the Servicar right up until 1973! FLAT-TRACK – also ‘dirt track’, a form of
oval racing on a dirt, clay or cinder surface of a length of up to a mile, run anti-clockwise (so always turning left), similar to speedway but with far more stylish bikes and riders with much bigger testicles.
FORKS – the tubes that connect the front
wheel to the handlebars, also occasionally used in a reference to swinging arm rear suspension by people who are weird.
FORWARD CONTROLS (FORWARDS)
– foot-pegs/controls that’re moved forward to give a more relaxed riding position.
FOOTBOARDS – expansive footrests that
replace foot-pegs with boards. Self-explanatory really…
FRISCO – an abbreviation of ‘San Francisco’,
used to describe the style of bike built in the area in the Seventies. Can apply to a complete bike, or details such as a low tunnel Sportster tank mounted high on the frame (mounted ‘Frisco style’).
FTW – I’m a little bit miffed. With everyone. Politically correct types insist it means ‘Forever Two Wheels’… it doesn’t. FUEL-INJECTION – the modern equivalent of a carburettor, using pressurised fuel that’s calibrated by an electronically controlled injector.
TONY THE ENGRAVER As you’ll’ve seen from the last two issues of BSH, at this year’s Motorcycle Live at Birmingham’s NEC this year, we’ll be having a number of artisans showing off the skills that they employ in the build of some ground-breaking custom motorcycles.
The third of our invited artists at this year’s Custom Heroes segment of the show is a self-taught exponent of ‘hitting things with hammers’, who exemplifies the idiom of every day being a school day. Please welcome, Tony the Engraver. Tony Reynolds began his artistic career as a child when he taught himself to draw, paint and airbrush, and started selling his artwork and cartoons to school mates. While other kids scribbled on walls, he painted his bedroom walls with full-blown murals, and continued to expand his knowledge of art. He was always fascinated by his father’s and grandfather’s sheds, and quickly learnt how tools, when used correctly, could become extensions of his own hands. This allowed him to create art on new surfaces – firstly on wood, later stone, then skin, and eventually progressing to his current material of choice – metal. He’s worked in multiple trades throughout his life, but all of them’ve been creative. You get the impression that he’s the kind of guy who uses art to escape from the mundane reality of everyday life, and enter the world of limitless possibilities. After a period of time in various forms of construction work, he began tattooing, but found the lifestyle overly social and ultimately unfulfilling; then a friend suggested metal engraving. One of the biggest bonuses of the career change, from Tony’s perspective, was that “People scream, metal doesn’t!” And that previous experience in the art of tattooing actually shows in his work as an engraver, not only from the styles employed, but at the level of detail, of contrast and shading – if metal could be tattooed, this is what it’d look like!
He says that, initially, he was using the wrong tools trying to get a quick result, but soon learnt that being quick didn’t give the desired results: “It didn’t take me long to realise that, with an art form as old as this, all you need is a hammer and a chisel, along with a lot of patience, imagination and dedication.” He doesn’t believe in luck or natural talent – he’s practised his whole life to get to where he is today, and puts his success down to that alone. His work is now seen at a great many custom bike shows around Europe, and has appeared on a significant number of BSH feature bikes. He appears to be the kind of guy who doesn’t accept anything less than perfection, and constantly strives to learn more and get better. When you hand your bike part over to him, it temporarily stops being yours – the part is treated as if it’s going on his own bike, and only when it reaches his exacting standards will it be returned. And, when he has finished, you can be sure to be blown away! Furthermore, he’s a keen biker and, not content with creating one-off mind-blowing engravings, he also builds bikes that most definitely don’t fit into any kind of pigeon-holing, as those of you who’ve seen pictures of his project XS650 will’ve seen. Oh, and finally he lives near the coast in Spain, where the roads are a biker’s dream, so if you wanted to deliver your part(s) in person, then you have a legitimate reason for a quick trip out! If you are interested in seeing more of Tony’s work, and how he ‘hits things pretty’ then pop along to Custom Heroes at Motorcycle Live this November (1624th). You can also get in touch with him through his Facebook page, and he’s always up for a challenge so give him a shout with your engraving needs!

HELLBENT FOR PARADISE
Hellbent for Paradise is the inspiring, and often nail-biting, tale of Zoë Cano’s exploits roaming the jawdropping natural wonders of New Zealand on a mission to find her own paradise on a Triumph Bonneville. From the outset of this 5,000-kilometre road trip odyssey, this free-spirited traveller is pushed to her limits as a series of catastrophic cyclones come crashing through New Zealand. Along the way, she encounters colourful people from all walks of life, including artists and musicians, sheep farmers, Maori fishermen, healers, stargazers, fellow travellers, and even motorcycle gangs who’ll all open her eyes and introduce her to the raw underbelly of the country. The journey doesn’t quite turn out as she’d planned, though, and extreme measures are needed to complete, and even survive, the Land of the Long White Cloud! Including 162 photographs, and maps, this excellent book is available from all major retailers or direct from Zoë herself through her website at www.zoecano.com
