Motörhead - Damage Case

Live at Brixton Academy, London, England, October 22, 2000

Motorhead - i ain't no nice guy (unplugged)

When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
I thought I was the chosen one
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
My shine wore off as time wore on
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite
I thought about the times when I turned my back & stalled

I ain't no nice guy after all

When I was young I was the only game in town
I thought I had it down for sure,
But time went by and I was lost in what I found
The reasons blurred, the way unsure
I thought that I was living life the only way
But as I saw that life was more than day to day
I turned around, I read the writing on the wall

I ain't no nice guy after all
I ain't no nice guy after all

In all the years you spend between your birth and death
You find there's lots of times you should have saved your breath
It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to fall

Working and taking a break

My friend finally found the motivation (and cash) to complete the upstairs room at his house.  We finished the framing.  Insulation and sheet rock to follow.....

Speedometer side mount in place...

Removed the instruments from their stock bracket...

 And dropped the Speedometer into the side mount bracket (ditching the Tachometer)...

While pulling the wiring back, I realized the choke knob was in the way of the instrument panel being seated properly.  Removed the choke...to be relocated somewhere else.

Thanks, Francesco, for the beautiful piece!!

Motorhead last night

Met up with my brother and uncle in Boston last night for the show.  Unbelievable!!  Lemmy sounded great and loud!

We wandered the place looking for better seats, and finally ended up in the balcony beside the stage.  Of course the only photo I had worth posting came off my camera phone.  Hoping to grab better ones from someone else's camera.

Bike work

Being home (sick with the rest of the family) allowed me some time to work on the small, quick bike projects.  I've been procrastinating.

Changed out the stock headlight on the 05 with a triangle headlight.

BEFORE

AFTER

As simple as this was, the headlight (and taillight) would not turn on after wiring it back in.  Turns out the wiring in the headlight was assembled in reverse and shipped that way.  That took me and Pops a little while to discover.




You can see from the picture that the speedo and tach were next to go.  After a little tweaking, the side mount from Crazy Oils has been mounted.  I'll post pics when the speedo is in it's proper place.  Soon Francesco!!  Thanks Pops, for the big help today.
