Schott jacket

In the early 1990's this was the jacket to have. Schott down filled with a leather "waistcoat" front and zip off sleeves. One of the best riding jackets ever. Warm and cool. I'm rocking mine this winter.

XL250S street tracker

This is my 1980 Honda XL250S Flat / Street Tracker in it's nearly finished form.
I have just added a small screen on the bars and it's ready for an MOT any day now.
It's got a 60's Honda CL175 tank, old alloy Miller headlight, stainless steel reinforced seat unit, 23" front, 18" rear wheels, Micron exhaust, Montesa front guard, twin rear lights, Rover Hurricane gray paint.
I stripped this back to a bare frame and re-built it as a winter bike.

More Vietnam Pendants







These are the other Pendants I've made, all exact copies of the Vietnam produced 60's originals.
FTA stands for Fuck The Army, from the US Army advertising slogan "Fun, Travel and Adventure"
£20.00 each, or get a set of 5 for £75.00!

The Pack - Heathen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnCGyFNLUWo&feature=related

Best band I ever saw.
I played drums with the guitarist Simon Werner (RIP) and the bassist, his brother, John, in The Straps, when The Pack split up.
Kirk Brandon went on to form Theatre of Hate and Spear of Destiny.
The Pack ruled, though, every song a blinder.
They had a song called Over the Rainbow, and I only ever heard it live and on a bad bootleg cassette.
Would love to hear a studio version.

Vietnam Teardrop Peace Pendant

I have just made some replica Vietnam War era pendants, the first one is this Teardrop Peace sign.
They are exactly like the one's made for GI's and sold in the street markets of Saigon during the war, except they are made of jewellery grade Pewter/Silver and have a thicker hanging loop.
They are available for £20.00 each inc postage in the UK.
Other designs will be posted soon.

Sid Vicious Action Man Figure

 This is the 1/6 scale Sid Vicious figure by S.I.D. Ltd, but with the "Destroy" T-shirt which was a limited edition accessory, and holding the one-off Fender Precision Bass guitar I made for promo pics. It was possibly going to be another accessory, but didn't happen.
 These are the 1/6 scale Seditionaries T-shirts which did happen, albeit in very limited numbers as accessories.
 These are the slightly more dubious accessories I made- including the "My Way" tuxedo and pistol set- which also never happened.
These are all one-offs of other t-shirt designs, just for my own collection.
All these I made in 1999, and have just found them again in my loft.
