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

PRESSED METAL REG PLATE



the pressed steel reg plate is ordered and paid for, the T shirt goes back a few years now, when Benny built 57 for the bobber build off, he said i aint a proper biker coz i don't have tattoos and i don't have long hair so i must be an urban surfer, to be honest i dont have any hair never mind long hair, ha ha

to all who still have one of the ten T's i got printed, if i win the euro millions i will buy it back for a million pounds, to all those that threw it away,................ ha ha

CHOPPER SAM


sam is my 16yr old godson and is well into the bikes, he came over to benny's with me and made me a headlight mount and fitted said headlight, he also measured the front wheel spacers and cut them and fitted them, this is his first time in a proper workshop with big boy's tools, i think he did a fucking ace job, well done sunshine, if i wasn't so tight i'd pay you

SURFING

FIRE STARTER


48 MM
done deal, 48 mm of pure power and polished to a beautiful lustre, this will be the fire starter for the urban surfer, this baby wont be saving any rain forests soon and will burn a fucking deep hole in my kids inheritance with its consumption of gasoline, however, she will propel the urban sufer in fine style  I am looking to gain a few ponies with this baby, it cost a small fortune to buy so there will be even less in the pot for the kids when I'm gone, fingers crossed I hope to start work on this project very soon.
