Briefest of holidays, 1 day & now it’s back to building scoots 😀 Life just doesn’t get any better …. …..ok,, well maybe the dress sense needs a little work……. – Posted from my iPhone #General

Out shooting the Rocker today at Lindisfarne & was caught wearing a Sickboyz jacket in an area of outstanding natural beauty 😦 Hefty fine! – Posted from my iPhone #General

Every workshop needs a killer clock 😀 – Posted from my iPhone #General

Well we finally get setup! Has taken days as behind this pic is a cutting/grinding sheet metal area then above us is welding, glass and general fab plus of course a plush reception :D. Once things are settled and this week is out the way it’s going to be an open door policy for all existing customers with free coffee and maybe even a donut! This week, however, is manic as most of the Harleys in this pic have to be finished in 2 weeks! #General

Well it’s chaos, two weeks from Bournemouth & we choose to move workshops!! Nxt wk is 100% flat on the Rocker & the Tracker! #General

Today’s been the kinda day you spend hours welding up holes on a couple of ladles that, for all the world, appeared to be made from chocolate ! Why?? Sometimes the stupidest ideas drive you to these acts 😀 #General

Finally met up with Martyn after many months of emails nailing down his Street Bob build & as cool as it was to finally meet up face to face the best bit was Carrot Cake!! More on Martyns build soon: #General

Best damn game for the iPhone 😀 (sorry, couldn’t rotate saved shot!) Now getting back to work! #General

Ok folks, what’s this thing I spent the morning fabbin ?? #General

Are we actually going to have a summer this year? Looking pretty good right now 😉 #General

sun beat down and the jackets came off for a lazy day at Oxford Harley. Hooked up with Amanda & Andy of American V infamy & my Bud Martin ( owner if the Rocker also at Ally Pally ). If this is a taste of summer to come then be warned all you reading this who run a Harley, I’m going to be hassling you to go for a ride all summer long 😀 #General

Not everything in life is about Harley Davidsons,, oops, did I just say that out loud 😀 (PLEASE NOTE THE MANAGEMENT DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY ITS WORKERS) We’re now in the second week of artic weather here in the UK and (some people thought) the office was in need of brightening up.  The latest addition to the Rocket Bobs admin staff is a Skull Stapler, complete with a removable skull cap for storing all your essential paperclips and stapl

After a lot of fabrication and general all-out, all hours labour we finished Lloyd’s Bob and delivered it back to him today with one proviso – that he bake us a cake. Does this cake look homebaked to you?? We think not,, the sly, dirty, cheating **&%$@#~!  (It tasted good though). #General

Rocket Bobs will be setting up a new workshop on the south coast of Spain soon with Paul over at Snakebike Choppers.  We’ve just got back from a scouting trip there and we had a blast managed to pin down the location of a new workshop.  Its a brand new building located just outside Malaga and we can’t wait to get out there and get into year round riding fabbing. The whole Marbella custom scene is huge and we’re going to be in there fabbing our kits and complete builds with Pa

Travelled to Essex today to pick up our latest project, a 2007 Harley Davidson Nightrain. It was a typical driving day in the south of England,, rain and roadworks,, the joys of the M25 🙂 but we did come across one new addition on the landscape… This is the new £90,000 sign for the town of Basildon (you probably would have guessed that part!) which is part of a project to put the town on the map apparently. Sadly, at 5ft high, I think it lacks some of the pizzazz of the 45

Snow ain’t gone yet…… #General
