RetroJohn's Blogged Bits!

 It's that time again... Cairns Auto and Bike Show.

 Another design inspired by the Cockatoo theme...

Black Cockatoo Towing

 Digging around in the recesses of the garage that is my my mind i found this little gem. Actually, inspired by the noisy bl**dy things flying about at this time of year... thought, good inspiration for an ol' time retro garage sign motif!

Sulfur Crest Ignitions

The old '68 has had a bit of a soft front end for sometime now... and have been meaning to do something about it, for sometime now... 

Talking to our local old Brit' bike guru, Prong, down at Cairns Performance Motorcycles about may be getting new springs and if progressive springs were available for pre '71 Triumphs...

He suggested a little trick, cut about a half inch ring from an appropriately sized piece of PVC pipe and slide in over the fork tube as a spacer... adjust the size if you need more or less 'pre-load'! ;-)

Haven't tried it yet but sounds like a great idea!

 My Brother put me onto this gal, great sound! Wanda Jackson, the Rockabilly years!
