Thats Fuckin' Art

I know art mate and that's fuckin' it!
I cut some ally up and made a box to practice some welds after having an attack of the shaky hands after the xmas break. I did some more welding today and it looked worse than this so I'm thinking about joining the arts and craft movement and selling 'Folk' art to the tourists.

Originally it went in the bin but i guy at work fished it out and did a quick polish jobie, so now with a plant in it and I'm going to give it to me dear ol' mum. In give i mean sell.

Ride Through The Skull

Literally.

Sometimes....

....it all comes together

Huge

That's one big bit of rotating metal. A friend Sam i used to work with sent me this current example of what he's working on for the University of Queensland. It's something to do with an experimental rocket that when it reaches outer space it get propelled by compressed oxygen and may one day deliver parcels slash humans from Australia to America in under a two hours......or so they say.

Happy New Year

F.T.W.

See You Next Year

With a little luck.

WCZ Pick

For me of all the amazing cars that were at the show this was by far my favourite. I like the fact its like a show rod but a full size car. The paint and build quality was amazing and all the gaps and panel work were as good as you'll ever see. Its actually a 1964 Dodge Dart believe it or not.

The most amazing part for me is the fore thought that must have gone into it, the builder must have an incredible minds eye. Truly the coolest car I've ever seen. This car was also Gene Winfields pick for best car.

Moon After Party

On the Monday after the car show Shige holds a little get together for all the guests from overseas at the Moon cafe/workshop. Just a little BBQ, fun times getting to meet and chat with everyone.
I really liked this hippy inspired bike.

Chantelle, Shige, Mez and Josh. Goodtimes!

Two Wheel Freedom Machines (Under)

Without over reacting if you said there was a thousand bikes parked underneath the main hall and 80% of them were Harleys you would have to be guessing on the conservative side. And the amount of Pans and Knuckles is more than you'd hope to see in a lifetime.
This dude is living the dream. The fabrication on this bike was awesome. I got a bad habit of closely looking at welds and being a harsh judge - 10 out of 10!

This girl was kick starting a Shovel with high heeled boots on and she was smoking hot! I wish i got a better photo. Its actually surprising how many girls ride bikes, and full tilt Harleys not scooters.

How good is this bike!

This was one of my favourites.

Two Wheel Freedom Machines (Outside)

Just outside the main hall there's a driveway that becomes a cool spot to sit and watch the thousands of bikes blast by. There's two car parks one outside and another under the hall. These are the photos from outside.
So many Pans - this one ruled it. Not as many Ironheads as you'd expect, but a heap of Shovels.

The bikes outside where better than the ones inside!!!

Perfect!

Kulture with a K

Man i hate that word anyways pinstriping, painting and cool art in general is pretty big in Japan.

Heaps of people pinstriping away at their booths all day and selling art.

And a helmet painting contest! Here's my two favourites

Two Wheel Freedom Machines (Inside)

Inside the show there was around two hundred bikes at a guess. More Pans and Knuckles than anything else! and not as many Jap engined bikes as you'd think. This bike i thought that if you took all the crap off its actually a perfectly proportioned bike.

Split tank, the bars where cool too.

Not many Sidevalves around.

This pink bike was the pick for me inside. Nothing says get fucked like a pink bike. I got better photos angle wise but their a bit fuzzy.
