Who The Fuck Is Spindle

I'm a fat kid from Salford, been in to bikes since I could shit in a nappy. Crashed a few along the way, but i'm still here pissing everyone off. I've tried my hand at motocross and drag racing over the years. I won fuck all, but had a proper laugh, and enjoyed every minute of the time I spent with fellow racers. I have now turned my very limited engineering skills to custom bike building. I have always loved the bike shows and the creations the famous builders dreamed up. I regularly attend all the big events throughout the UK. I have taken inspiration from many builders, but more so from my very good friend Mister D.T.F.P. Benny "Boneshaker" Thomas. Benny has guided my hand through all the builds in these pages, and he has kept me safe, ensuring what creations i come up with are ride-able, safe, (all most) legal, and don't kill me. During my time in Benny's workshop I have met some cool people and made some great friends. I don't take life too seriously. The following pages are just rambling's and experience's of mine during the builds. This blog in not intended to be accurate or period perfect, its just for a laugh, and describes the things I like and love. Please feel free to hurl abuse and insults.
Fuck my old boots, here's

ROCKSOLID MOTORCYCLES



I bought a frame off my friend Sergio, he lives in Portugal.  He Emailed me a few days ago to tell me it was all ready, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.  A few days later i got a phone call from Sergio telling me he was an hour from my house and would I be in. Sergio had personally delivered the frame from his workshop to my house, that’s a round trip of 2100 miles. You just can’t beat that for service.  Thanks Sergio, I owe you big time.

SALFORD LADS CLUB

I am a proud Salford lad, my father was also a Salford lad, and his father too. I've been invited to have my bikes featured in a cool magazine, and i was also asked to find a cool location, so i chose the "Salford Lads Club". I emailed the manager there who as given me consent to do the photo shoot at the front door of the club, anyone remember "The Smiths" inside album cover to "The Queen is Dead".  Any how, its the 100th anniversary camp this year and I've been sent this cool photo of two campers riding their motorbike through the camp site. It brings back memories of me and my buddies at several camp/rally sites I've been to and riding through them pissed up and having a fucking good laugh, i guess somethings will never change. Here's the link to the web page for the club, i would appreciate you all hitting the club web site at least once as they are funded by the adverts on the web page.

PS, the club also takes cash donations



 and for three bonus point, does anyone know who these thugs are, or does anyone know what bike it is, my knowledge on vintage stock is limited.
