Hi Guys,

Well after an unusually long lay off I'm back, been quite a year, and I do apologise for my disappearance, put it down as a mixture of starting my own business up in March and the sudden death of my best friend and weekend riding buddy. Knocked me for 6 to be honest, so just kept my head down for a bit, focused on the family and the business.

However, I'm back, lucky to enough to have another forum member working for me (Yan The Man), have totally rebuilt my bike from the ground up, front to back, and before you all ask, yes that does include the headlights!

I'm not going to go into detail as to what I've done, but its quite drastic, those of you that know me and my bike know that I like to go to the extremes. I have of course kept the NOS, but the rest of the changes I'm going to save until this years Weekender, when of course yet again I will be fighting to keep the title of 'Bike Of The Year', they say its never been done twice in a row by anyone, well here's hoping.......

Anyway, the Monster is well and truly under wraps until then, and still in a few pieces, so Ive been making the most of my beautiful 748s and enjoying a very different style of riding.

Ive got a few messages to reply to, which i will do over that next few days, but yes Rob myself and the team here would love to help in anyway that we can, just let me know what you need from us.

To the new members Hi! Im sure I will see you at various meets, to the old members, sorry guys!

Thanks mate, yes Event Planning and Experential Marketing. Its been a crazy year, done some great shows, including a fantastic gig for Sir Tom Jones, another one coming up for Michael Mcintyre, a Zombie Horror party for Kevin Spacey and the most incredible set of gigs for these guys:

One of the worlds best selling bands, and Im ashamed that until we did a series of gigs for them at The Old Vic Tunnels that I had never heard of them, if you EVER get the chance to see them you must.

Watch her right hand, its incredible.

We were wondering where you had gone

If you are planning on staying at the Hotel in May you need to get in quick

The rooms are almost sold out - venue has moved to Wroxton House Hotel, Oxfordshire

I'll see what I can do......

But if you love Zombies, you will love what myself and the lads did this weekend.

Dropped in an abandoned 1960's Mental Home, given a shotgun, limited ammo and 4 hours to escape past hoardes of Zombies, 6 of us against over 100 of them, it was one of the most fun things I've done in years and I cannot recommend it enough.

Bloody scary running around an old Manor in pitch black, middle of the evening, set amongst woodlands, no light at all until you stumble across spare ammo boxes and torches left behind by a now dead squadron of men that went in before you.... Think nothing can make you jump? Go to the basement of the Manor with no light and try to find an exit door when all you can hear is the moaning of the zombies that are somewhere near you and see nothing at all....

We are doing it again in February in Reading, but this time in an old disused Shopping Mall, you should come with us, we need some good men.......

Details here:

J.P · 21-12-2012, 10:25 AM

Errrr, is it a proper shotgun ? Looks Awesome.

What Date you doing ?

21-12-2012, 10:27 AM

Yes.......

No, its a ball bearing gun, and you can have a Revolver or a Berretta instead if you wish.

Not sure what date, we're thinking February and doing the afternoon sessions so that it will be dark.
