Julian's Scrambler build "Post 1"

[JulianM]

Julian,  remember to have the video cam ready!

   Do you really think i am going to film my fuckups for you all to see?  In public? 
Want to see if I can even kick the darn thing first

Lovely bit of engineering, puts us spanner twiddlers and Manchester screwdriver bashers to shame 

I was looking at your company website and we were drooling over the dream job vacancy. Do you ever get complacent working on Delahayes, Delages and Lagondas?

Is it your company or are you like my mate, recently retired from Cosworth, who replaced all the chrome on his old shovelhead Harley with stainless, using "off cuts" during his "tea breaks". You can plead the 5th on that

for you all to see?

lol, a live feed to the internet. But seriously, a good video about the bike when it's finished will be nice to see.

Hi there Julian, I have been checking this post for a while and find it very interesting. I haven't posted any comments as I didn't feel competent enough to (Still a bit green round the gills with mechanicals) (learning though). I agree that a video would be an excellent idea and a asset for the forum. All the best fella and excellent work, first class. Chicago

Thanks guys,

Ethelred,
I am the "M" in LMB  but that may stand for "Muthafucka"  
I try to do nothing in works time etc, just the use of the workshop and machinery etc, that way it all stays simple.

Complacency is easy to achieve    sometimes it's good to pinch your self and say "Hey, this is your life! how lucky are you!"   Very fucking lucky to be honest!!

Will do a vid of the start up but not before I'm sure it runs  ;o)
I can make a prick of myself often enough without you lot watching

Nobody's going to think that!  I hope it fires up immediately, but if it doesn't, so what? ......we've all been there, even the best don't get it right 1st time every time.
     good luck! mf

well so far what we've seen puts you right at the top of the ladder my man, if you slip down a rung you'll merely get a bit closer to the rest of us

[JulianM]

Very kind of you to say Bill, I think I am in good company here though as there is a lot of info and knowlege hiding in these here pages.

Will post a pic of the bike on it's wheels tomorrow.

Hey Julian, have you got any videos of the work you've done upto now, you could put them in the video section ?. Sure people would find them fascinating. All the best fella, chicago

[JulianM]

Hi there,

No is the short answer,  Don't video anything as most of the time my work is a bit spontanious,  I am restoring / building three bikes at once and the limited time I get to work on them, my time is spread between jobs as well as dealing with phone calls for work etc. Even at weekends.
Videos would just use time i don't really have. Besides, I am no expert, so I will leave the vids to them.

I like doing pictures though 

Julian

[chicago]

Ok fair enough fella. Shame. I think a lot of people would disagree about not being an expert. All the best fella, Chicago.

[JulianM]

Will do you a startup vid,  just to show you all how I can stuffup too

Bit of weekend work,

Sweet!

like the side stand.
Also what kind of shocks have you on there, don't think I've seen such before are they traily/scrambler specific?
