You’ve heard me go on about this for the last month or so, but finally the Chopper Mod Project is finally complete. I hit a bit of a snag a week or so ago when I threaded a crank and a pedal fell off, but today the replacement arrived, marking the final piece in the … Continue reading
Considering that I was a typical boy growing up; breaking bones, cracking skulls and generally abusing my body (or ‘doing my own stunts’ as I prefer to call it), I’d never reached my pain threshold before. That point of pain that’s so severe that you just want whatever it is to stop. This week – … Continue reading
Just a quick post this, but after rewatching it I think I’ve figured this “how did Sherlock do it?” thing. When Sherlock first looks over the edge and asks “for a moment by myself”, there’s a bus parked alongside the hospital. After a minute or so, and next time we look down, there’s a lorry … Continue reading
Since I started getting ‘inked’, I’ve become semi-obsessed with the “Ink” series – Miami Ink, LA Ink and London Ink – mainly LA Ink. I’ve found that it does both incredibly positive, but also quite misguided things for the perception of tattooing. On the positive side, it shows that not all people with tattoos are … Continue reading
Yet another Chopper related post. No real text this time though, just some videos that I made of the process thus far. It might help explain why I’ve done each step, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
It took hours more than I expected, but I finally managed to strip down completely bare whilst in my carpark. I’m on about the Chopper frame, obviously. (Yes, I’ve stumped that low to sexing up and whoring out my SEO.) Due to some rather silly errors by myself, it ended up taking almost fifteen hours … Continue reading
A rather particular title for this post, but being at this is an ongoing project, it seemed like the only way to correctly do it and track the progress timeline. Today, I began the construction – well, the deconstruction – of the Chopper, ready to begin painting in the next couple of days. Now, this … Continue reading
I can’t talk about this any better then Miss Monster did – http://mistressofmonsters.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/a-monster-year-2/
I’ve always been heavy into bikes and cycling. When I was a kid, every Sunday when my dad was out cleaning his car I’d be there alongside him, detailing my bicycles. One year, my dad got a book that was called something like “The Complete Guide to Bicycle Maintenance”, and I eagerly read it cover … Continue reading
Yesterday, I went back to my tattoo studio with Miss Monster in order to have a tiny little design done – three (well, two and a half) Zelda style life hearts on my wrist (the half because no matter how much life you have, there’s always room for more), whilst Miss Monster intended to have … Continue reading
