He’s just finished building a 6 cylinder z1 engine - made from a pair of Z1 spares motors. He cut / welded the crank cases, block, head all in his small home workshop. He also made his own crank, camshaft, carbs from donor parts. The guy is a bit of a genius. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I can't stand him, makes me sick when I see his workshop that is no more than a garage and what he turns out, he should be banned 😉. Seriously, a very nice guy and always willing to chat when at shows.He also appears with Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove on the Motorbike Show and sometimes Shed & Buried, both well worth a watch.

Seen them at Newark Autojumble three times now and each time the camper is trailered in ... If you watch the programmes you often see the big trailer next to their pitch. Don't really mind their programmes though if I am honest .. lets face it not much else on related to bikes apart from the odd Guy Martin programme.Started watching the Suzuki feature of 'Twist-the-Throttle' repeat last week until they pictured a GT750 Kettle but described it as an in-line fourstroke.

Why show all the boring & tedious bits such as cleaning the crud off engine cases, going to and from the chromers, painters, machine shops etc when they can 'do a deal' with an 'old mate' for a rare bike in bits and hey presto, an hour later its up, running and gleaming and all done in the same wooden shed! I admit to watching them though, its that or Love Island .
