if anyone ever reads this
the Flathead rebuild never made it on to these pages as i eventually got around to starting on it on the 7t10th august when i got back from holiday i then had until 6th Sept to rebuild , so almost every night long hours were spent trying to make pout right the awful lash up and get it ready for the Trip Out
I eventually finished it at 4pm on Sat the 7th and set off for a shake down cruise with Andy Harris of AHCC on a shovel head he had just finished and lee on his Kawa bobber , long story short we made an 85 mile trip into a 95 mile trip and arrived 4 hours after starting out - a couple of breakdowns with the flat head , including whittling a stick down and hammering it into where a gearbox mounting bolt had fallen out - Tesco garage forecourt was the recipient of most of my gearbox oil !!
and its still in there !!
This may be one of the last entries as a new venture will be slowly starting and a new blog Shovelheadz   and website
So see you there soon

Happy Easter - Here is my Easter Bunny 

If the sun refused to shine, 
I don’t mind, I don’t mind. 
(Yeah) 
If the mountains fell in the sea, 
Let it be, it ain’t me. 
Got my own world to live through 
And I ain’t gonna copy you. 

Now, if 6 turned up to be 9, 
I don’t mind, I don’t mind. 
If all the hippies cut off their hair, 
I don’t care, I don’t care. 
Did, ‘cos I got my own world to live through 
And I ain’t gonna copy you. 

White-collar conservatives flashing down the street 
Pointing their plastic finger at me. 
They’re hoping soon my kind will drop and die, 
But I’m gonna wave my freak flag high … HIGH! 

Hah, hah 
Falling mountains just don’t fall on me 
Point on mister Buisnessman, 
You can’t dress like me. 
Nobody know what I’m talking about 
I’ve got my own life to live 
I’m the one that’s gonna have to die 
When it’s time for me to die 
So let me live my life the way I want to. 

Yeah … 
Sing on brother, 
Play on brother …
