DdDdDdDe-rrrusting.

It's very cold in the Belgian Arcade and all projects are covered with a thin consistent layer of ice.
I'm trying to get my "de-rusting using electrolysis installation" on a professional level....no luck yet ...it already killed numerous power sources and chargers....aaaah just the fun of seeing 'chemical stuff' bubbling and steaming.
Keep you posted.

Art or Function...You decide !

It is I - Albert, your scrib for the evening.......here to entertain you with tales of derring-do.

Pull up a chair...... for I shall show you a sight that will chill you to the bone.......Yiks !

Not since my namesake Dangerous Albert and Spotty Bum McGrew fought for the affections of Cow Heel Lou has anything been seen like this up here on't windy moors o' Yorkshire.....Eeeee Ayeee wi live life on't edge alri'te....

Grinding ! I'm 't World Champ, or I should be wit' amount I've done (and I'm only half way there)

Ladies and Gentlemen......For one night only.......appearing without safety net or wire I have for your felicitation the most scandalous evidence ever put forward to prove Damien Hirst is na' but a lad when it comes to creating art ! !

For I say unto you.....I am 'THE' artist ! I breath life into metallic ores that once formed part of this earths core............I create function from the dead and forgotten...........

Yes dear friends forget Pickled Sharks..........I pickle onions.......Drink a goodly splashin of homebrew from a metal juglington and grind engines till they shout fa mercy.......................

Oh yes !

Above - Before with cut line

Nah in't that reet gorgous ?

Question - You decide - Do I cut out where the Sparkington Pluglets go or do I leave finned reet ta't top..........

Thats all for now....

This week I've been 'mostly'

Blighty calling, Blighty calling, are you receiving? Over........
Albert transmitting from secret location 'T.O.S.V.B.' on short wave frequency........
Calling all readers........News flash.....



Firstly - Congratulations are in order for fellow Oilyracers at Balen D.C. Arcade on a successful first road test of a Pembleton Super Sport. The King and Queen of Belgium should be made aware of this momentous occasion.....It's not everyday that such a mechanical acheivement can be witnessed by so many....Hurrah ...Hurrrah...Hip Hip Hurrah !



Back at base camp in Alberts garden many a kilowatt of power has flowed down the grinder cable, turning volts to revolutions, rubbing revolving disc over Japanese aluminium, changing forever a mistaken Yamaha vision of motorcycle harmony into many millions of iron fillings......


I'm looking inside, looking for the hidden jewel , it's in there I know, it's just a case of digging until I find it !


Nothing comes easy, so today I have been 'mostly' grinding, dremelling, rubbing, and buffing.


Behold I present for your merriment the fruits of my labours - 1 x cam cover


Sunglasses on.....Bling alert

Happy fact - Original weight - 500gms

- Weight today - 150gms

When I get the other cover done thats a weight saving of 700gms.

(Which of course equals a mighty good helping of the finest Yorkshire Fish n Chips.)

Cider time, catch ya all later. Albert

C'était un rendez-vous in Balen DC : Scary movie I

Big news from Balen DC !!!!
Mounted new shock absorbers this morning...which itself isn't that big news but .....
those two pieces made the Pembleton becoming a proper ride-able trike ...or at least it should make it a proper ride-able trike.
I'm currently converting a small trailer to take the Pem to a nearby shopping mall parking on a Sunday to test but........
I just couldn't stand the temptation of a first test drive on a nearby road.
It was quite scary filming its maiden run while checking no parts fell of ....and keeping one eye on the road.

If there are any brave souls out there who are willing to participate the next couple of tests to capture the whole damn thing on 8 mm just let me know.
