                Googled the motorcycle club you advertise on your back….

                        Hi guys,

                        I love IH, and I love bikes too. So much so that i quit my office job around 6 years back to sell bikes for a living, mostly Italians 😉  Unfortunately I haven't ridden a bike in just over 4 years due to a nasty leg break under the engine bar of a Moto Guzzi California Classic.. Heavy bitch she was!

                        Here's some images from the day of the accident, sorry if they're off putting, they're not intended to be. I still love bikes, but for now I don't have the range of motion in my left ankle for the gear lever..plus my brain tells me it's dangerous.

                        8 surgeries later I'm still determined to get back on, but it's a tough slog.  Push bikes keep my 2 wheel urges slightly fulfilled, but no substitute for an oil cooled 1100 v-twin.. You know 😉

                        Thanks for letting me share guys.

                        Mike.

                          Nasty crack, hope it's about OK.

                          Get a bike with footclutch and handshift. That might solve your problem… 😉

                                Finn - I can't recommend a bike restore / rebuild enough.  It was some of the best months of blood, sweat and tears that I ever put into a project.  If you have a little space, some patience and a willingness to learn - you can certainly tackle it.  The 70's twins are all pretty standard fare and easy to work on.  Parts are everywhere, and frankly, a good time to hunt down.  The months I spent on my rebuild were as fun as riding has been.

                                That said - know the risk and don't take it lightly.  Mike - I hope you're healing as well as can be expected and that you get your ankle back to where you need it to be.  Ride or no ride.

                                Spotted this a bit ago..  bad.  ass.

                                          I took my bike down to the Ace Cafe Reunion today in Brighton.

                                          I joined the muster at the Ace Cafe in London, and followed the pack down to Brighton. There was a lot of congestion on the M25 and M23 / A23, and some of the filtering got a bit hairy. If I do it next year, I might take an alternative route.

                                          But once down there, I think that every biker in the south was there. Madeira Drive was rammed with bikes, and the overspill took up much of the pavements and all the bike spots in the town centre. Here's a shot to give you an idea of what it was like.

                                          Giles, it might be worth looking into getting a stall there. Lewis Leathers had one, and a lot of the bikers were the Harley, Cafe Racer or Rocker crowd, so would seem like the sort of demographic Iron Heart would appeal to.
