Many, many thanx for the kind welcome from you all. Needless to say Ive been a Mac fan for longer than I care to remember! Their music has been a constant companion throughout my life, it still has the power to inspire and move me. Thats all we can ask.
I live and work on Wirral and the other companion in my life is my custom chop/lowrider which has finally hit the road this summer after 2yrs of hard build.

Hi there! I suppose on the custom bike scene Harleys have started to make more of an impact over the last few years, although they remain expensive, in particular parts etc. I have to say the mainstay of the english custom scene has been the big jap fours, mainly because of cost, parts and availability. We all grew up with the jap bikes so I suppose its what we all know and have spent our time riding and repairing,like I mentioned my bike which is a gsxr1100 motor and runnin gear, with a one of custom frame etc has taken roughly 2yrs to put together and still is "work in progress".
There are specialist custom mags, similar to easyriders but with more of a european angle available with plenty of custom houses advertising one of parts and of the shelf bits:

The custom scene is alive and kicking over here but as with all bikers we remain minorities!

Whats happening over there!

I would say that it's about 60/40. 60% metric and about 40% Harley, although Harley has come way down in price because of the weak American dollar. However, Harley Davidson is extremly popular in the U.S., they have extended their factory warranty for all service men that have served, going back as far as desert storm as some of these people have minimal mileage. Orange County Choppers and Jessie James t.v. shows have really boosted Harley sales and significantly stimulated growth in the custom market (which is great for us, as we are a custom after market shop, www.cccparts.ca).
