Today Sunday 9th September 2018 I attended the annual Grampian Motorcycle Convention held at Alford Grampian Transport Museum .
I enjoy these events, always hundreds of bikes on display , some vintage, classic and current models , well organised and catering for the crowds that attend.
The weather was excellent ,I spoke to many bikers all sharing their love for the bike they had on display , many had 2 or 3 that they owned , however as usual the best part for was capturing all the motorcycles in the parking area, driven to the event by enthusiasts and owners with a love for their chosen Suzuki, Yamaha,Kawasaki ,Triumph etc.
I captured 400 bikes at the convention today , I do not have the time to list their details etc , hence please feel free to comment on any individual bike that you recognise , meantime I will slowly though surely add as much information as I can when I find time .
It has been over 3 years since I build something, but between many other occupations I managed to create something new! Finally, and this was actually a fun process. I once bought the original Harley 10269 Lego set, and although I liked it better then many other sets, it was time for some heavy Bricksonwheels customizing.
In practical life that meant changing about everything. I chromed the entire engine (thanks to Erik @chromebricks.nl), and relocated the exhausts. The reason for this was that I wanted to create a softail bagger; something not that common. I adapted the base frame from 10269, but changed it at many point to support two major elements: a very large custom 30” frontwheel, in combination with a lay-frame setup. This means the bike sits on its on frame while parked, lowering the air ride system.
I added the stretched bags, and as icing on the cake added a multiple LED lights, and two Brickstuff filaments to give glow on the engine. It is all supported by two batteries mounted in the fuel tank.
Als a big cheers to Rob @Brickstuff.com for supporting in this project.
