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

DENVER MULLINS

the chopper godfather, he died in october 1992 after his race boat sank in a lake, he was pinned in the boat and drowned.  I loved reading about his stuff in mags back in the day.  Heres a few pictures of his bikes.



these pictures are where i gathered inspiration for "Pimpers Paradise".


i also read the postings on Jockey Journal that his daughter lisa posted, the whole thread had me in tears, she expressed how she dealt with her feelings towards her dad. It was mind blowing stuff.

RIP Denver Mullins
