Well Guys,

This is a bit of me, and something @Alex and I have been working very closely on: The brand new IHUK Shovel Chop! She's being built for us by Zac David in the UK. Here is how she started out.

She's a swing arm chop, we love that stye - as does Haraki san - 1974 1200cc. We can't wait to update you with more progress pics, but she's now been sprayed black. Zac is putting the finishing touches to her, then she'll be with us in Gosport, where we'll take the tank and fender off, then send them to Tetsu in Japan for paint!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts, and for you all to see her! More photos dropping imminently.

@Giles has loaned me his for the next three years! Until I can justify my first big watch spend for my 40th birthday. Giles, you’re a mensch. #25 here..

@Karol:

I do remember some refills at the beginning! 
It was a fantastic episode; I loved every bit of it. Especially the boating part, I will admit it is also my idea for retirement with slight modification – I think about going sailboat. I wish You guys all the best on this journey and will keep a close eye on it to inform my own concept.
Last night I revisited one episode that I forgot to mention as my favorite and that was the last episode from season 1 – meet the Iron Heart crew. As always awesome moderation by @Olly. Since then, there are new people joining the team, it feels like a no brainer to have a follow up episode like this in season 3.
I'm also really hoping for Haraki, Tom, and who knows the likes of MR. Heavy Nell and Heavy Ounce being interviewed to bring these two worlds closer together. And here I mean a deep dive sort of thing, not some generic short form. I am quite sure that even if some of their insights go over my head it is worth it to have it documented for posterity.

Thanks for your kind words @Karol. We had a lot of fun designing then launching the eps, and let’s hope we can make S3 happen soon. All the best, Olly

Starting to shape up now. She's getting oil lines and wired up this week… Those with a sharp eye will see that we have now gone with a cobra seat. We think it looks way nicer than the flat solo seat. And check out the slash pipes - she's gonna be loud!

@goosehd:

@Olly You look great in those!!

Thanks man! I actually bought the 36” for my wife! Pretty sick kit, IMO

@Giles:

See @Olly 's arse HERE

If the link does not work for you, it is The Art of Love on Netflix…...

Hahaha! Thanks @Giles

Jumping in on this because I usually share my GP thoughts/concerns/elations with @Giles.

Full disclosure, I loathe Verstappen - I think he’s utterly gifted, but I’ve hated his lack of grace for a number of years now. I looked back to some of his earlier races, one may have been USA, the other definitely was, where he was taken off the podium twice. Do you guys remember? He overtook Kimi off the track, then out braked himself whilst defending against Vettel but didn’t give the place back?

I truly hope that he loses the 2021 championship because of this cost cap issue. He is a more than deserving driver - this year, for example - but rules is rules, no?

Lovely to have a rant, and looking forward to any further, compelling points from other F1 fans.

Hope you’re all well and looking forward to Mexico this weekend.

Look at these absolute lads - IHJ-49 reel coming soon.. @Graham @Ross @JoshC @Bailey

Hey Guys,

You may have noticed when @Alex and I were in North Carolina, but apart from Iron Heart advertising in DICE magazine, we're also doing a collab/capsule collection with them. Today we went over to Giulio Miglietta's awesome studio in North Greenwich - he'll be designing patches and doing embroidery for the collection - to say hi, and to check out some of his work. Hope you enjoy the photos. Updates on this coming in the not too distant future!

I'm voicing the commercial for the latest character (not voicing the actual character). If anyone sees the reveal commercial for it then HMU

Barry Manilow - Greatest Hits (obvs)

@goosehd:

I really like this bike though and keep coming back to look at it…

Love that too. Mine's always gonna have narrow t bars on it - it just makes sense.

@Giles:

@Olly has one too….

I copied Giles’ one - love mine
